I'm writing this post on Steven's fancy dancy new laptop! I'm getting less afraid to touch it now :) Anyway, thanks Mum & Stace/Dave/Caleb for the supportive comments. It really means a lot to me, especially when others can negative and/or cynical.

Anyway, we bought some cool software to help us with our business plan, so that may be my next project for a while, until I find something part time. Steve's been working a lot, and is looking forward to some much needed time off. Everything else is pretty normal & regular, quiet evenings at home with the cats (no...I'm not a crazy cat lady lol). Take a look at the charmer here...he's really not that beastly!

I'll try and get some new pics up soon, Steve & I really need to get some new pics of us...we only have two different shots I think (blah!) Maybe I'll dabble in some novice photography!

Later!

Is it absolutely terrible to have writer’s block before you even start to write? That is my dilemma at the moment. To be more realistic, I do have more than one dilemma; actually several! However, wanting to become a published writer, this is the most daunting of all. I'm on a quest to write something, I just do not know what to write.

I feel as if I have a million ideas in my head that need to be organized, and I'm not quite sure how to go about it. There is the obvious answer to brainstorm, which I have tried with minor success....but how do I turn my jumble of ideas and words into a great literary piece?

I stand firm in my belief that this is something that I can accomplish. I often think of great writers and what the world would be like if they decided to keep their creative forces to themselves. There would be no Shakespeare, no Sylvia Plath, Dr. Seuss or countless others who reached into their hearts and minds to give us the opportunity to delve into a world different than our own; or one we can relate to.
