WRITING

I have been having a ball with Rayna’s Story (hey, its better than calling it Untitled). I had forgotten how well I can write when I’m not trying to get 50k words in 30 days ^-^ Starting from the beginning was the best thing I’ve done for my writing. Although I’d love to become a stronger writer. I have found some great writing tips in the past, but more would be grand. When Mollie and Jay are out of town, I think I’ll spend all day on their puter looking up more writing articles.

As for as the poetry book is going, I think I have enough selected now. I’ll be editing & polishing up the .doc file sometime this week. It’s got a rough organization to it, but it’ll prolly need some more.

GARDENING

(this was an e-mail to a friend, but I’m crunched on time)
Well I had just had fun with some gardening in that little area I’ve mentioned before. Today I went out for strawberries and fell in love with some other plants. Now I have some alyssm, sunscape daises, and two different kinds of strawberry to try out. My pot of violets that a friend gave me this winter is looking great (no blooms though). I didn’t think they would make it because they looked kinda sad whet I planted them. I yanked out one of its babies and did a poor ass job at planting it in some rather hard, clay-like soil nearby… I’m calling it a science experiment :)

We have, I think, daffodils scattered all across the property, and quite a bit in my little garden. They haven’t bloomed yet and I hear they’re hard to get rid of, so I’ll just leave them. I like the wild, overgrown look.

I’d love to grow some herbs and other flowers I really like, but I have limited space (or should I say - sunlight). At least I can grow stuff now… I was reluctant before because of the dog. He had free roam of the area and liked to trample and say on anything alive. Now he’s fenced off in the back of the house so he doesn’t run away and visit the neighbors or try to chase down cars. Damn dog…

PIANOING

Iiee! I’ve been learning a bit of White Houses from Vannesa somethingrother, thanks to searching “how to play” on YouTube! I started on Clocks by Coldplay today, but my monitor started in on its eardrum melting sound, so I had to stop away for a bit.

So yeah, I better turn this thing off before it starts again.
