Journals, Black-eyed Susans, and Shortcake

Woodstock-Week

My week in Woodstock has almost come to a close and this is the first time I’ve blogged! I was going to say, “that I’ve had a chance to blog”, but that’s not really true. I’ve just filled my free time with other things, like writing, practicing viola, reading, sleeping, and working on super cool projects with my boss-peeps at CSL. Lot’s of creativity! It makes me smile before I know I’m smiling. Those are the best moments.

I’ve set some big goals for my second draft and I don’t know if I’ll meet them, but I’ll certainly try. Plus, having high expectations gets me even more excited about the project. It’s almost bed time now and I probably won’t get any writing done, but I’ll have all night in the car tomorrow because my stand-up-guy of a husband is coming to Woodstock after his brief visit to NYC so that we can drive home together. Hooray!

My boss-peeps brought a few wildflowers to work on Monday and the little fella above has been keeping me company all week. He’s still hanging in there, reminding me how much the little things matter.

I managed to make it to Garden Cafe for dinner tonight and decided to have dessert instead. What could be better than vegan strawberry shortcake for dinner? I caught up on my favorite blogs while sitting at the counter and enjoying a cup of peppermint tea with the masterpiece pictured above.

I also started Sark‘s ejournal class tonight, in my brand spanking new Composition book. These books may become my new favorite writing tool. They’re super cheap, have a nice sturdy cover and I like the paper inside. Sark’s ejournal class comes to your inbox everyday and is packed with creative writing exercises. It’s perfect for switching your mind into the perfect pocket that unlocks your imagination and makes you excited to embark on whatever project you’re working on. I am so excited that Sark joined our blog posse over at Crazy Sexy Life too!

All this writing about writing is making a quick peak at my novel irresistible, so I’m going to dig into that for a bit and then get to bed. Back to Charm City tomorrow!

I love composition notebooks! There is something so appealing about them.

And I think dessert for dinner is good for the soul. :)
