Picture this. It's a hot summer day, about 11:00 in the morning. The sun is shining down on your yard and you're not even halfway done mowing it but you know you have to finish or your parents will have a field day and possibly throw you out of the house. You take a swig of lukewarm water from a water bottle that sat in the fridge for almost an hour and grimace because it tastes like it went through a garbage disposal. You close your eyes as you sit in the lawn chair in the garage, basking in the shade, feeling a cool breeze blow through. You could almost fall asleep there if you really wanted to. In fact, you almost do. And then you have this monumental revelation about a scene that would totally work in your book and make things a little more interesting.
Well, that's exactly what happened to me. :D It was beautiful. But of course, if I ran inside to get my notebook, I'd never want to leave. So I keyed it into my phone. Because I'm just that awesome. Anyways. I finished the lawn and am back in the cool confines of my room. I just emailed the fourth copy of my manuscript to my friend for him to critique and I'm about to clean my room because it really needs it and I can't concentrate amongst all the clutter and...well...mess. My goal is to get a decent-sized pile of stuff to donate and then treat myself to more brainstorming for my new NaNoWriMo novel. November really needs to get here...
Until next time,
