Happy Valentine's Day

and for all of you who hate Valentine's Day here's something totally random.
 
 
Sooooo whoever out there is dreaming about me, knock it off.  I need some sleep.  Please and Thank you.
 
I fall asleep VERY early in the evening.  I'm exhausted from lack of sleep the night before.  A couple of hours later ('bout the time normal people are going to bed) I wake up and that is generally it for the night.  Now I know the reason.  ; )

I'm unbalanced

Anyone who knows me would not contest that statement.

The Plot Whisperer arrived on my door step. Squee!!

In the first pages it suggests that you identify your strengths and weaknesses.  Are you linear or circular in your thought process.

A linear thinker is left brained and can easily create dialogue and action packed scenes.

Circular thinkers are known to fall in love with the characters and ponder themes and meanings. They are right brained.

The left brain struggles with right brained activities and the right brain struggles with the left.

A balanced brain can deal with all of the above.

In my pursuit of all things write it makes sense to me how utilizing the whole brain would be a good thing.  I do struggle with linear and the logical.  It is a part of me that I will work on.

A passage that I liked from the book that I wanted to share. Doesn't have to do with left or right but I liked it.  The book came very highly recommended and though I'm in the early stages of reading it, I can see why.

"When you move from talking about writing a book, a screenplay, or your memoir to actually doing it, you join your destiny.  Once you begin, there is no turning back.  The act of writing changes you. The transformation has already begun." 
The Plot Whisperer

Cheers to transformation

Every day is Friday.

It has been one of those weeks where every day is Friday. 

At some point the realization that I will have to come into work the next day jars me back to the reality of what day it actually is.

Today's reality check came when I was thinking about the up coming weekend.  I ordered The Plot Whisperer and it will be delivered today. Squee.  My brain cleared its throat, so to speak, and let me know that I'd jumped the gun, again.

If I wake up and tomorrow isn't Friday.  I'm going to rent Groundhog Day and stay home.

When hoar frost twinkles on the trees

A.A. Milne.
Who does not love Whinnie the Pooh

Lines written by a Bear With Very Little Brain

by A. A. Milne
On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
Now is it true, or is it not,
That what is which and which is what?
 
On Tuesday, when it hails and snows
The feeling on me grows and grows
That hardly anybody knows
If those are these or these are those.
 
On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,
And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it’s true
That who is what and what is who.
 
On Thursday, when it starts to freeze
And hoar-frost twinkles on the trees,
How very readily one sees
That these are whose- but whose are these?
 
I love hoar-frost. It is so beautiful.
