My Workspace!! (Picture)

/ pictures, writing

Look!!!


This is my workspace–one of them. I also have a laptop. But here is my main powerhouse. See the blanket, the doll that looks sort of like me, the laser printer? Most importantly, the puppies? And if you look at the edge of my desk on the right, you’ll see my SWEET ampersand bookend. Word. Yes, this is my favorite spot in the house. :)

Inspiration

/ authors, writing

I feel like doing a sort of mushy post, and to write about what inspires me in regards to my writing. Those of you on my F-List, feel free to copy this for your own journals.

What and Who Inspires Me:
1. Reading author/writer/agent blogs.
2. Chatting with my mentor (smile!) Lauren (laurenbarnholdt), because she’s quite a few steps ahead of me in following her dreams, but not so far that she’s unreachable. In addition, she is upbeat, positive, and encouraging. We already have plans for me to be sitting next to her when she goes on her book tours, so she can pimp my book too! :D (this means I have to sell something before long…)
3. Sarah Dessen (writergrl). She says that even if she hadn’t been published, she’d still be writing, she loves it that much. I know that I’m the same. Plus, she writes amazing stories with unforgettable characters. I hope I am half the writer she is.
4. When people tell me “you ARE a good writer, dangit!” (Much thanks to Rebecca Vinyard for that!)
5. The support from my friends and family.

So, I CAN’T give up. I love writing too much. There’s that *feeling* I get in the pit of my stomach when I know something great is brewing inside of me. When there is a story dying to be told. I know I’ll write, even if I never sell a single book, but I can’t NOT write. It’s a part of me, it’s ingrained in me, it’s in my very nature.

And time for me to work/write/dream.

MASSIVE case of SELF DOUBT attacking me right now.

Doesn’t help that I don’t feel that great.

BOOO.

Guess What?

/ writing

I didn’t write or revise at all last night.

I wanted to. You have no idea how much.

But I knew it was one of those nights. And I was exhausted besides. So I refused. I got up from the computer at about 8pm and didn’t go back for the rest of the night.

I relaxed, read, spent time with Aidan and ate cheap pasta from a can. It was yummy.

I feel better now. :)

P.S. Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Sometimes, a girl just needs to be coddled. :) Especially a girl who is a writer.
