With all of my awesome new projects going on, I'm wondering if this blog is going to fall by the wayside...
While I think about that, you can ruminate on this awesome, lovely word: perspicacious.
Yep. It rocks. Totally.

today's horoscope:
Your current angst may be increased today by the difference between what you want and your lack of willingness to go out and get it.
AND...this is different from every other day...how???

Going to VT!
woot woot!
me & k-frayz decided we need a little R&R, as well as lots of seclusion to get some work done (writing and curriculum, respectively). i'm toying with the idea of not even taking my laptop...writing old school style, pencil & notepad. i need to start from scratch anyway...
regardless - we're going to VT!

Re-Fueling Session
Amidst a very hectic weekend, I got a voicemail from A.J. saying she had one hour to meet with me on Saturday--did I want it? I assumed it was a rhetorical question, but called her back to confirm anyway. I had been toying around with my "Indian student/cranky-white-lady teacher" story, in between feelings of what? I don't need to write anymore. I 'm a mom...that's my identity. writing is something I used to do because I didn't know how to do anything else and, actually, had boldly emailed A.J. a few weeks ago to get a quick refresher on multiple storylines. To which, she had suggested we meet during the residency, and, I guess the rest is history. Or, the rest is what I'm supposed to be blogging about right now, which is that meeting with her (or, probably, anyone that believes in you) is so inspirational. It's like going to church for writers. I left feeling not only confident but really quite interested in the story I was halfheartedly writing. All of this action conveniently coincides with Henri's first week of "mornings with his French babysitter"...so, yes, I'm writing again. Wow.
Also...
A.J. told me this stunning quote by Toni Morrison (the writer she studied with) that goes something like, "If, at the end of a story, you've learned something about yourself, then the story isn't sad." I hope that I can one day use this against anyone that calls me writing sad and, if not, at the least, I plan to tattoo it on myself as a daily reminder of what I'm aiming to write, when I am writing.
