First Fry:  Preheat the Vegetable Oil to 280ºF/137ºC

April Open thread

 Now it maybe time to plant and start on spring cleaning.  

 

Any hour of the morning is coffee or tea time, join us!  Tell us where you are on your project. Are you happy where it's going?

Some stories and movies you wish would just keep going, 

I always wonder what happened and the story was just left open ended.

After coffee the gears start churning to get to first tasks of the day.

And this month is spring break for many.  Whether it's the beach, pizza or the mountains or just a staycation works just find t6o recharge.

Go out for seafood at that little restaurant on the beach everyone is talking about.

Remember the nutritional content and the zinc and selenium with omegas in seafood will help recharge the mind and body to write that big important story as it should be written.  Don't forget to read a good book!

Of course  many are homebound but put this on and through the night, very relaxing to take you away for awhile.

In the meantime keep on journaling!

Creativity Corner: Great Projects Take Time

So you have been working on something.  It's a spark, your spark that you let simmer and keep coming back to.

 

Sometimes an artist needs inspiration.  First it starts with

Coffee to start the morning.  Heck, work in jammies all day. 

Freewriting and a friend that's joined in to inspire.  Getting a feel which scene to write next,

even though the book is outlined in pencil to modify as I go.

Sometimes we let things simmer as we 

Snooze. Our Tazzy dreams of carrots 

For his treats in his sleep. 

A piece of art or literary work in progress will be revised, reworded,

switched around. Somethings are good to omit./

We express ourselves in ways that are

a gift to others.

An artist is not finished until it is

done.  It's almost like interior decorating.

Finding the right color or pattern. 

Even in a literary piece or a movie, keep the fun!

Such an Aragon thing to do!

If you express your work like a movie that goes on in your mind, 

it's all good.    Each day get further ahead and a sense of accomplishment.

I make small reachable goals, but surprise myself doing more and finishing strong at the end of 

the day.

Most of all, trust in God
