Preparing the canvas

One would think that with all the training I have and the teaching of websites that I have overseen, that I wouldn’t break the primary rule: make sure that you don’t use fancy font! In my effort to quickly get a website up that was halfway decent looking, I inadvertently chose to accept a template "as is". It wasn’t until I asked a couple of my tech geek friends to take a look at the site, that I quickly received comments on the font.  I have since changed this ghastly oversight, and am now continuing the process of "preparing the canvas" for my book.

Over the years, I’ve had some epiphanies for book ideas, only to be in the strangest of places, with nothing to write on. Thereby having to repeat the idea over and over until I find a piece of paper to put my "great idea” down. These ideas, notes, and novels to someday write, usually end up in a folder soon to be filed or lost somewhere on my desk mountain. Since I have committed myself to do this adventure, each time I sit here at my desk and begin to review my notes, I realize that I have a lot of notes for a lot of stories!! They just ramble through my head, and when I pick up a note, an idea, my brain immediately starts thinking of where this could go, and how to develop the characters. But do I actually sit and write? No, because I am so ADD, (attention deficit), that I find many other things to do first! So, this is going to be quite a ride, for any of you willing to read my ramblings. For myself, taking this challenge is the only way I will be forced to finish this first book. Then, and only then can I pick up my notes on one of my many other books, and continue their stories. 

My muse is smiling at me, because now she knows, that I finally am going to follow through and allow her to stay. I'm just glad that she has returned...

Have an awesome day!
