Honeycombs…I’m thinking of the cereal. It is so sweet and tasty with coffee and no milk. If you go out for an early morning ride, the lovely little yellow pieces fit nicely in a pocket for munching.
When I write, I sometimes keep a bowl of them next to me to munch.

Gentle rain showers this morning and cold…so grey and windy…so much writing could be done, but alas, I must go to work. Sigh.

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of contemplating about “my perfect writing space.” My wish list includes: surrounded by windows, large space with comfortable desk and chair, open, airy, rich tones in walls and floor (maybe wood, or plush carpet), and of course a coffee maker/pot station. There will be no TV and I can have the door open or closed depending on how much I want to know about what is going on in the rest of the house, or who is around. Right now, there is no way to have this space where I live, so…so I write anyway.

I’m beginning to dream at night with the characters in my new novel. Jess and Sam have taken over my night wandering. This happened to me with Isa as well. My morning run is consumed with them too. This particular photo is of a place that I know very well and I think Jess and Sam will too because I can feel them getting closer to it. Who wouldn’t want to be in this place?

Sometimes it is force game with writing. I have to set a timer and keep writing no matter what comes out of the pen until finally I find myself caught up in what is happening in the story and the world around me fades into nothing. I wish there were a magic potion I could take to make this happen faster and on demand!
Today I keep moving around the house trying to find a comfortable place to write; the barn is too cold and I am getting to the point where I want some comfort. My dream place for writing wouldn’t take that much to be real…

Friday the 13th…my students are very into this kind of superstition, but I’m not apt to fall into the “Oh that happened because it’s Friday the 13th” mode. Are you?
I wonder about my Isa character…she isn’t much for superstition, but how would she react to someone who is? Guess I may explore that.

I didn’t take this photo, but my French compadre did and it is just incredible.

Went to an amazing concert last evening in Wray, Colorado- Ellis. She performed beautifully and her songs really touched me. This morning I can’t stop thinking about one particular song which challenges perspective. My favorite thought from that song, “What if the trees are holding up the sky?” I don’t know why, but I think about it as I’m looking out the window at the trees and I know how much we’ve had to water them this summer and it’s no wonder because they’re working so hard to keep the sky lifted. Today, the sky is weeping miserably…I guess it must hurt to have all those tree tops sticking into your belly. 🙂

We watched Practical Magic last night. I loved this movie when it came out and I was struck again by the “good” magic in it. I was terrified anew at the evil Goran Visnjic character. What I loved was the little girl dreaming up the perfect mate, never thinking that anyone like that could ever exist, and then he does! Lovely.
