Working on a Story Idea

Good morning, everyone.  This morning I'm getting to my writing right away.  I slept in a bit, not really on purpose.  I just woke up when I couldn't sleep any more and that time happened to be around ten this morning.  I lay there for a while thinking about writing until I couldn't lay there anymore.  I'm excited to work today on a story that first came to me back in March of this year.  I avoid working on it at times because it's a little intimidating as far as size and the grandness of the story.  But I kept thinking about it this morning until I had to get up and work on it.

I'm making my coffee right now.  I have a bowl of yogurt coming to room temperature for breakfast (I think yogurt has better flavor at room temp).  And my boyfriend is in the living room listening to inspiring music and playing a video game.

It's time to work for our future and do the job I love.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

Take a Break

Today had next to nothing to do with writing, but I will still record what I did.

Before even changing out of my PJs, I worked on the car with my boyfriend.  We are in the process of changing the transmission fluid (details of which I will leave out because I'm sure they are classified under "boring", but the work itself is rather fun: very mechanical and greasy).

After we were done, we showered and walked 20 minutes to a cupcake shop downtown called Sweetie Pies.  There we enjoyed a birthday cake flavored cupcake and a German chocolate cupcake with house brewed fresh coffee.

On our return stroll we stopped at an elaborate pawn shop and browsed the DVDs and video games.  We didn't buy anything, but we had such fun.  Our next stop was an auto parts store to check for a new seal for the transmission fill plug (see, kinda boring sounding).

It may sound silly, but we had the best time just walking and talking together.  We even discussed a possible story idea for a story submission I want to try.

I loved this day.  And tomorrow I hope to launch out on a tantalizing tale that will get me a YES from the publishers.
