Yum...Potatoes!

It seems to be Thanksgiving.  This whole year really snuck up on me. 

So here I am, sitting on my couch at , Thanksgiving morning.  Eating a Cup-o-noodles and watching a Kiefer Sutherland movie on mute.  I think it’s called Mirrors.  It’s interesting, how much you can understand on body language alone. 

Do I often watch movies on Mute?  Yeah, I guess I do.  When I want to write, but I don’t want to be alone it helps to look up from my screen or paper to see a familiar face.  And I do like Kiefer’s face.  It’s…comfortable.  Like hot chocolate. 

I only wrote 4 pages in my novel tonight.  The beginning of part II.  It’s a start, albeit a slow one.  I didn’t get to do much writing at work because the day before a holiday is usually exceptionally hellish and there just wasn’t any time between one problem and the next. 

4 pages.  It feel like such a small amount.  It probably would have been more if I’d hand written it first. For some reason it just flows better that way.  Always has.  Sometimes I even use a quill and ink because it simply feels good to write that way.  And I like the smell of the ink.  Though I must admit, it can be difficult to use a feathered quill when you have kitties. 

Ugh…4 pages.  The material is good.  I think.  Sometimes I wish I could just plug something into my brain and download the universes that are swirling around in there.  But I guess if it were that easy, I wouldn’t love to write so much.  What’s life without a challenge?

  1. I agree. I love to write but there is soo much wanting to get out that they all cram up so nobody gets out. I am enjoying your blog. I miss you. As I read these Blurbs of your life I can see you and I read it the way you would say it to me.
    PS I do have your DVD from The chacons, I will need to deliver it someday. :)
