Feelin' the Purple Power?
Well, perhaps not quite. Still, the whole "blogging thang" makes writing feel comfortable. While I had always enjoyed writing, I wasn't sure about my once-a-week posting schedule ('cuz I'm such a slow crafter). Then the Bernat gig came along. How could I pass up such an opportunity? Bottomline: I'm generating original content for two blogs on a weekly basis. And never mind all the crafting (two adult-sized sweaters, 2 toys, a child's garment and many smaller projects in 6 months--not counting all the Christmas gifts)! A record for me!
Positively Purple
So now I'm adding more writing to the mixture (perhaps a little delusional about the amount of free time in my day?). About 4 years ago, I crafted a strange, mysterious, future world peopled with weird creatures and nasty humans--a lovely blend of sci-fi and fantasy (yes dear, I wrote--or attempted to write--a novel. I now give you permission to laugh). Then I hit a snag in the plot. Shortly thereafter, my creative juices fizzled.
All this time, my story percolated in my brain. Then recently I started itching to write again (it's the same feeling when I've got the need to knit or crochet). Suddenly, long-standing plot and character problems had solutions. So I hauled out my "novel" . . . well, to make a long story short, I'm writing again. Not too much. Amidst all my daily commitments and responsibilities, I promised myself to write a page a day ('cuz I gots to knit too).
