New Start.

I feel good today...Well, I feel like hammered crap, but I feel emotionally great. I was laying on my bed yesterday, hiding from life, when a thought struck me. A story with a really neat twist. I am still hammering it out, but I got up this morning and started writing on it. I am up to page 10 and have developed several characters. I thought it'd be a neat short story, but it may become a book. I am just not sure. I will keep at it this week and see how much it grows. If it does gather it's own strength, I will start editing on it. I've not been inspired to write since November. And that book has passed by the wayside. While the story was good and characters were viable, there was too much estrogen in it I think. I just can't do chick books. :)

I thought about the story all night. I think I have a good lay on the perspective. I am excited. It's still a woman's story, but it's different. We'll see. In a month, ask me where I am and chew my ass for saying ugggghhhhh. At the very least, I'd like to see if I can submit it for a story to a magazine. I really need to get back to publishing. Back to writing, back to the happy places my brain likes to go.

Anyway, My lovely, soon-to-be-Graduate is heading out to prom in a couple of hours--heading out on his last social event of the school year. After he comes home tomorrow, I will leave town and head for my parents house. I need to de-stress. I'd like to de-stress tonight and go, but I know if I do, something will happen to them while they are out partying and I'll have not been here. They promise they will call if they are drunk and need to get home. They'd better.

So that's my day. Clean my house so it is in good shape to leave it, and get my few errands finished tonight. Then head out for the week to my parents. By the time I get home next week, everyone will be converging on my house for the graduation. ugggggghhhhhhhh
