Rain Delay

The 4th of July was a rainy one. The rain while the crops might have enjoyed it (the ones that did not drown at least) put a bit of a damper on my plans for going outside. It really put a damper on my ability to concentrate. 

I made note after note for my next book, redoing the outline a number of times. I even began writing a little on a new book, and attempted to work out the kinks in the story for another book. 

I am venturing far from the path of Moments, Money & MemoriesObservations Obsessions Oddities, and even the FTP series. While I am still in my comfort zone there are days that it feels as if I have ventured into a foreign land and do not speak the language at all.

Well, I am off to attempt to find inspiration.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
