My Lovely Sleep-A-Holic Fantasies

Today was one of those days where I woke up early, turned on the TV, and fell back asleep.  Resisted the urge to do anything, and I felt like it was worth it.  Then I stumbled out of bed.  I hope this is DST effects and nothing more. I'm needing to use that time for my own projects. Never give up.    

Well I'm supposed to be writing, but found myself gabbing and laying in my favorite chair feeling like a champ.  I know that's not the way to get things done, and after doing some half-assed inspiration for a new concept last night, I was grateful I placed it in my notebook.  That reminds me to put the "available" pen back in its proper spot, since I removed it and have it in the wrong place now.

Was laughing with a friend about some ups and downs and the many good things that happen in life, which in itself is a good thing.  Yesterday I did take a few pictures that I said I would use as inspiration in part for stories and screenplays. I dunno what I have yet, but I know I liked the images.  This is the start of something exciting.  Theme is important, and I'd like to see me work closer with my ideas and themes.

I Didn't Mean To Turn You On

For those in the know the song "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" was recored by R&B star Cherelle in the 80s.  It was later covered by Robert Palmer, and I love hearing both versions of the song.  The song happens to be on my playlist at the moment.

Today the water was cut off by by the apt complex so that a pipe could be fixed.  That was supposed to happen at 9:30 Am but instead happened at 12:00 right after I fixed myself an omelette and nibbled on it.  Was ready to wash dishes and knew better. I have some saved water but would prefer to only use it if the need arises.

Speaking of Cherelle, "Saturday Love" just came on.  Love this song.  Ah memories of youth flow through my mind. When did I get old? Don't answer that. All things must change and my time came and went.  In the mind to write something and the blogs posts are merely the appetizer for the warm-up writing, and I need to go read some stuff for friends that I didn't get done cause I'm a slacker sometimes, and I never seem to get myself together like I used to.  Gotta change this outlook, cause I'm more than capable of handling things.

Work It: Forget the Other Stuff

Today is the first of  four warm-ups.  This one will be simple, as I intend to get a lot of writing-related projects done.  I have a lot of editing/revising to do so I know I’m down for that.  Got my playlist ready based off of the song “Yo Mister” by Patti LaBelle.  It should prove to be fun an unpredictable as I’m using the iTunes Genius feature today.  If that fails I’m going to have to listen to gaming scores. 

One thing that I realize is that I’m going to have to work harder at my writing.  It won’t fall into my lap completed, you know.  I need to get my act together if I want o be part of the solution as opposed to mentally talking myself down from the projects.  I will not be ruled by fear and intimidation of what has not even taken place.  I’m more than capable of taking on the task. 

For the record I have been writing posts and been slacking off on posting them.  I need to get those done as well.  So here’s to me getting my work done.  It’s sorta like homework, but more fun, and with deeper persona satisfaction. 

Stay Blessed, peeps.  

P. S.  I may need to change to gaming scores cause I want to dance to the songs.  Patti and prince make a potent combination.  

Un-Make A Mess?

My place is a mess and I have yet to clean it.  I do have time today to do so, but I've put one foot into the loafing zone, which I should know better than to do, but I did. Well I need to make some breakfast so I may do some scrambled eggs and sausage.  Really don't feel like putting the effort up.  Did make some coffee which I'm sipping on now.  Hopefully I will break free of my meh-ness and work these rooms like a pro and get my food cooked and eaten.

No need to make anything for dinner.  It's really a left over night.  Must keep up with drinking more water than other types of drinks. I say this as I notice I do consume a lot of sugar-based drinks, juices and sodas.  I want to balance my system out more than I have been, so that requires me to express due diligence so hooray to water and it's wonderous properties. I'm also writing to get my writing motor running, and we know five sentences is my minimum.

Best wishes to all.  

Note Cards

Was looking for a way to manage and rearrange my written thoughts for stories/ideas.  I was thinking of getting several note cards and using them for this purpose.  Seems simple, right?  Well of course it is.  It's like note taking for classes and having some resources togo back to other than a notebook, which is still great, BTW. I love having all of my ideas located in one area.

I do need to find a way top break down scenes a lot better and a way to transpose some ideas without having to rip my notebooks to shreds.  Of course I need to find a way to keep the note cards organized for my own sake.  So maybe later in the day I will have something to report in regards to progress.

What Shall I Do, What Will I Say?

I'm looking to put down some ideas and I got nervous.  What shall I do?  What shall I say? Sometimes creativity can overwhelm me.  Clearly I'm on the right track to contemplate my next steps.  Well if I need  to write a few more posts to get the gears rolling, then I shall.  Must be on the right track if I'm gonna be all to pieces.  LOL

Perhaps I need some hot tea (black, spice) to make me feel a little more in the mood.  Perhaps something to eat too.  A slice of pizza, and some background sounds.  Every little bit helps, right?  So I dunno what I'm gonna write down, but I'm gonna get it down.

The Right Frame of Mind

As I think about getting my projects together today, I know one thing is very, very certain.  I must get a new post together.  For those in the know, this is the warm-up to writing.  I spend most of the day chilling.  I washed dishes made popcorn, and I want to watch a movie or two, which is always good for me.  Also gonna get my notepad and jot down several ideas I have for projects.  Need to rewrite a beat outline, which I have additional notes for.

I have got to get shit together.  There's no doubt my success lies within what I'm putting forward.  If this means doubling my efforts than I will do so.  And somehow I thought this post would not have any Star Wars references.
