Slam, Shoot, Slam.
The practice has become ritual.
Dancing with the Agave.
Lime and salt intermixing upon my tongue.
The burn, the burn it’s
Only temporary.
The residual ecstasy is fleeting.
Oh Tequila you saucy minx.
Each time you justify the pleasure being worth the pain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy Cinco De Mayo.
I know this isn’t practical and really doesn’t make any sense at all but that is why I have to have it! I don’t know if I would start with a white book shelf, I am more likely to use light blue. I would have various colors of sharpies readily available and anytime someone wanted to borrow a book I would have them leave a note upon returning it, or maybe as a check out routine. I could also see myself jotting down a few notes about my favorite books. It is a big bookshelf of creativity. It’s more than just books and writing; it is a collaboration of them, right in front of you.
Hey, I might even be able to keep my books organized that way….. haha who are kidding my books will never be organized, just the way I like it.
Happy Friday Everyone!
Visions of Green Leprechauns Dancing in my head.
It’s a holiday,
A great excuse to put away your
sorrows.
Celebrate the good,
Save everything else for another
time.
Immerse yourself
Enchanting (ly)
Blissful (ly)
Four leaf clovers,
Guinness flowing,
Jameson poured.
Debauchery all in good nature.
Jig, Laugh, Hug.
Fall over,
Stumble, Occasional (ly).
Cheers, Salute, Be Merry.

Yep I just went there. Yep I am feeling frisky this Friday.
Generally Fridays are all about setting goals, getting out there and taking risks. Not this Friday.
This Friday I plan on celebrating; I finished my first quarter successfully.
Not only that but I shared some of my writing and guess what? People close to me enjoyed it… I know it was a pleasant surprise!
So instead of talking about inspiration or taking a new step I am encouraging everyone to take the time and celebrate.
I am sure you have done something great no matter how small this week.
Go on do a little dance in victory, don’t deny it. I know you want to.
Get Down On It.
Just Dance.
If would be fair if you asked me if I had hit my head some time in the past month. The answer would be no but it would be a great excuse. It’s not like I am taking classes, working at the job that pays my bills, and working on two other novels or anything during the month of April. Oh no wait I am. None the less I have decided to add yet another project and this time it comes with a deadline outside my control. I am going to participate in Camp Nanowrimo and you know just add another 50,000 words to the month. It will be fun, the book idea I have decided on will be fun and the deadline makes it a great challenge. I have never backed down from a challenge.
So I ask you my followers, anyone care to join me? We could bunk together? And no that is not as creepy as it sounds.. We can also do word sprints and lament the fact that we took it on together.
I mean what excuse is there not to?
When was the last time you took a big chance?
How long has it been since you risked it all?
Have you ever gone double or nothing?
There is no reason to not start your next project. You can create whatever you want.
Take a Risk.
Take a Gamble.
Write it Down.
Happy Friday Everyone!
This glorious slice of paradise in the hot springs pool in Glenwood Springs Colorado. It has been a long and hard week for me, perhaps it has been the same out there for some of my followers; why don’t we all escape together?
Let’s take a minute, let all of the tension drain from your body. You walk out from the locker room and feel the 32 degree mountain air take over your body. There is a hint of sulfur coming from the natural springs. The water is warm, so incredibly warm, 104 degrees of unadulterated bliss. Floating on your back you are able to see thousands and thousands of stars crisply, clearly, without the impediment of city lights. Serenity.
The great thing about writers is that we are able to escape so easily. 😉
Happy Friday Everyone!
Do Bears hunt? I have no idea, I assume so since they are a predator. What I do know is that they fish for salmon, snatching a single fish from the group as they rush up stream. Isn’t that how we should approach our next big project? If you are like me your mind is full of ideas, thoughts, and words all of which have potential so why not be the bear? Be the Bear, get aggressive and commit to that one idea and reap the benefits.
I don’t know if I would select this particular bookshelf, I have never been the field and stream type although I do enjoy the modern look of the piece. It would be fun to mess with the neighbors, Happy Friday Everyone!
It is the end of another long and successful week, while I was looking for fun bookshelves for my Friday post I came across this gem. Yes, that is an upside bookshelf which seemingly holds the books onto it, I remain skeptical. Either way it is fun and imaginative; sometimes it is better to try something completely outside of the ordinary, who knows what amazing idea you may come up with? It may not work or it may work beyond your expectations but you have to think outside of the box or even perhaps upside down to get to those ideas. Happy Friday Everyone!
The first full week of the New Year, the first full week of school and more books on hand that I can possibly read. It is a fantastic yet daunting way to get the year rolling; the last few Friday posts have been all about finding inspiration, this one is not. After all the inspiration and hard work there has to be a reward otherwise what is the point? I have always enjoyed a nice warm bath and book to unwind after a long week, this is the ultimate version of that experience. Can you just imagine yourself in this cave hot tub in Santorini Greece unwinding with your favorite book? I can, Happy Friday Everyone!
