I’m wondering where my brain went today. It seems to have wandered off. Perhaps its lingering in the remaining powdered sugar from the Dunkin Donuts I indulged in over the weekend. All I know is, I can’t find it.
This brain abandonment always occurs after a writer’s conference and that’s where I was this past weekend. I kibitzed with other writers, listened to interesting lectures and I sat down with editors to discuss my various manuscripts. The angst alone of those meetings is enough to send my brain underground. Throw in the lack of sleep and the abundance of people and I’ll be lucky to find my mind before Christmas.
On the plus side, I got lots of good feedback, insights and new avenues to pursue. A small publishing house, Written Word Communications, is interested in looking at my novel Deborah: Woman of Flames. Another contact insisted I try my hand at writing screenplays and helped to rekindle my desire to do theater again.
But now it’s back to reality and I must find my muse again. The NaNoWriMo count awaits and I’m two days behind. No matter what the future may hold, I have to remember the goals of the past and get back to writing my story.
Maybe I need another donut…
Don’t forget the coffee! (If coffee and donuts don’t work, let me know, and I’ll be happy to deliver a swift kick in the pants. No charge.) 😀
I had a lot of coffee at Bible study this morning. I”m hoping after my trip to the grocery store I’ll still have enough caffeine in my system to catch up. If not, I may need your suggestion!
I agree with heather- it’s all about the coffee, Kim! You are a gifted writer and I once again want to encourage you to try your hand at screenwriting. Yoiu have a gift for dialogue and that’s a rarity!
Thanks Torry! Hey, do they have Dunkin Donuts in TN?? I think that’s been my problem here in Omaha. No DD coffee on a regular basis. It stifles my creativity man! I may have to move…
