Another productive day today. Made some food, tidied the living room, removed icky buggie from plants, drew another silly picture, stayed extremely well hydrated, talked to Mommy and Shra on the phone, sanded my decoupaged journal and added another coat of Mod Podge, petted Lyapa, washed dishes, cut up more magazine pages, tore out more magazine pages, finished last week’s Artist’s Way, took breaks every half hour and stretched, and discovered to my great pleasure during writing class that brainstorming comes very naturally while puttering in the garden. While I weeded, I thought about a story idea I scribbled down years ago, and came up with enough of a setup to get me going writing. It felt good to be working in prose again, and good to be starting on a new story. I’m very pleased with my progress so far this week.
