refocusing

i had a little time yesterday (i was avoiding something else, but hey, i'll take what i can get) so i pulled out the notebook i keep in my purse.  it's a writer's notebook to work on my stories and write my thoughts on my stories.  i read through drafts of different stories.  one of them (summer of choice) sucked bad (what was i thinking?), but some of the others have real potential.  actually, that one has potential too.  i just need to rework the beginning.

anyway i got to thinking that i am ready to start writing again.  my writing seems to come in spurts and my creativity has been turned off for a couple of months.  i think it has returned.  i would really like to finish my collection and do something with it.  i got a new notebook today and i'm going to start filling that one with great words and sentences that will make great stories.

i was also thinking that i want to read again.  i have taken many months off from reading anything new.  i have several books here just waiting to be read, but my mind couldn't focus on any of them.  it's hard to explain/describe, but sometimes the thoughts in my head move fast (not always racing, just moving from one thing to another quickly).  when things are that way i can't focus on anything for an extended period of time.  but, i really feel like i want to read something so i may start a book later tonite.  it will be something from jennifer weiner of jodi picoult (of course!).

on a side note:  today was a great day!  i went to my first corvette show and saw some awesome cars (kinda made me want one)!  i also got to spend time with M, which is always a nice thing! :)
