Incandescence

This week has been fairly hum drum. Nothing too exciting. Nothing too unexciting. I think I need some inspiration. Some new music or a new country to add to my 'someday I am going to visit' list. I need a bucket list. Maybe I'll do that over spring break. I prefer to not ramble about useless information so I'll keep this post short. I read/follow a lot of blogs and I am semi-copying the idea of one of them. I want to start adding a segment to my posts about music, movies, clothes, whatever it may be that I find/want to share. 1.

I am learning a lot of great stuff about writing good scenes. I am reading 'The Scene Book, A Primer for the Fiction Writer'. It's a really great book and it has lots of very helpful information. Right now I am trying to find inspiration. I have a great idea, lots of good material, I just can't seem to be able to find a way of piecing it together (ok, so, maybe it's not a 'great' idea, but one thing I am learning is that, if I am not interested in the subject I shouldn't bother to write about it)...basically, I shouldn't write something because I think it's what people want to read. Which is good advice. So. Time for randomness. I am really liking these pumps from Payless and this dress from Target as w...

It's been a while since I last posted. I attribute it to a dull life. Actually, it's more the busywork of life right now. Classes are not particularly difficult--yet. More just filled with assignments and discussions. Since my creative juices are rather spent at the moment, I'll leave you with this thought--what would have happened if Germany had won World War II? Also, a couple of recipes for some brownies that look amazing from the blog Bake or Break. I wish I had access to a kitchen!  Peanut Butter Mud Bars Picture from Bake or Break black-bottom-brownies
