Sun? Writing? Sun? Writing?

It's Saturday and I have the flexibility to do both.  The sun is like a lover that gently strokes my skin and fills the moment with bliss.  Yum!  Writing; simply a tool of self expression.  Our most important purpose on this planet...choosing words that readers will drink heartily to satisfy their quench.

I awoke this morning after sleeping in until 6:30, then spent two hours privately in writing and spiritual practice. My house-mate is so respectful of my closed door.  Living in a 200 sq ft space for nearly 2 years, has given me that sweet spot of knowing when a space in time and place is truly mine.  This morning was like that, yesterday's solo hike was like that, this exact moment is like that...and so I write.

I will bravely go into Walgreens today to get a notebook.  It was suggested to me a while back, that the reason they, and other "drugstores" can sell things so cheap, is that they make up soooo much money on their pharmaceuticals...I guess that would make them a ....."drug store".  That's honesty.

The notebook is for the safe landing of my post-it wall collage pieces into something that I can thumb through, with page dividers as chapters.  Monday I will be prepared to start "creating" a visual example of my book.  The best advice I have gotten so far, is allow it to be it's own entity, don't try to control it, just allow it to unfold.

Writing List:
  1. Write 500 word summary of my Book (for the jacket)
  2. Create Working title
  3. write 100 word Bio
  4. Write 100 word "Acknowledgment"
  5. Print selected journal entries for chapter bodies
  6. Print selected e-mails for chapter supporters
And so the journey begins.
