Happy Wednesday

I had great intentions of typing up all kinds of brilliant posts to share this weekend.  And in my defense, I might have followed through on my intentions but I was totally exhausted from working on the projects (that I still need to post about :)).  Monday evening I sat on the couch to dream up what to write about, and fell asleep.  At 8pm.  I didn’t wake up until 7:30am the next day.  It was glorious.  Last night, I meant to sit down and type up something amazing.  The words didn’t come.

That happens sometimes- writer’s block.  It’s not so bad.  I spent 4 years through college in the school of Journalism, where my classes were all about writing, plus I had to write all those regular pesky college papers.  Words are fantastic- when they come.  When they don’t?  Just breathe and take a break.  Walk away and find something that inspires you and conjures up an emotion deep down in you- then write.  Write about sunsets and babies and the smell of spring.  Write about the way a dogs tail wags or the way the bees swarm in and out of the bushes- all synchronized and beautiful, yet terrifying (to me!).  Write about an open field with a blue sky and perfect white clouds and the sun beating down gently- lulling you to sleep, one slow eyelash flutter after another.

Most of all- write about what you love.

As a professor once said- don’t think of writing as a chore but rather an illicit affair you get to steal away with every day.  Oh la  la! 🙂

I digress.  The point is I was up early this morning, sitting at the computer- putting together a post and it wasn’t good.  The thing is, I spend a lot of time on projects and photographs and I want the final product to reflect all those hours and efforts- not to be thrown together when I am so tired that my vision is blurred and I am just thinking of how to say the most simple sentence without sounding…simple.

The point is- this is my post for today.  This is where I am at.  Tomorrow, I have something I am excited to share but I want to share it well. You all deserve the best.

Happy Wednesday my friends!
