Of emotions, house sales and writing

I had a little chat with myself yesterday about my mood. I was tired and grumpy and hormonal. This resulted in my flipping out over a lost jandle and bursting into tears in the car. I realised it wasn’t worth it, I didn’t want to be unhappy, so I pulled over and flipped through my CD wallet and found a mix CD I had made entitled UP and I put it on. Bingo uplifting, inspiring music to help tell me that life is awesome and I am awesome and put a bloody smile on that face. (And yes I did pull over, I don’t want to crash with Kaeden in the car and I may be super talented at multi tasking but there are times to be zen and focus on one thing and one thing only and I think that time is driving when my life and the lives of others are a bit more at risk)(plus it means I am more focused to see the idiots on the road of which 42% of them were on the same roads as me yesterday)(also if you are reading this know that I will NEVER EVER drive with you if you text while driving. I do not believe there is anything that is important enough that has to be texted right there and then, and if it is that important it is important enough to take the 30 seconds to pull over and stop the vehicle)(okay soap box back in the cupboard.)

Today has been a much better day. First off I am excited that the people who saw through the house are coming back for a second look tomorrow. Promising. I told myself a little over two weeks ago that in three weeks we would have an unconditional offer on the house. I am sticking with my guns on this one. We have the power to influence the world through the power of belief.

OMG how fitting. A new song just started and the first words were “I Believe” Thank you Jared Leto for that (and the rest of 30 Seconds to Mars)(If you haven’t heard This Is War their new album, please do, it is very inspiring. I am in love with the album and have listened to it I don’t know how many time since I got it for Christmas.)

Planning to do some writing this weekend, Hubs is locked and loaded for Xboxing with friends in Auckland, hopefully they play tonight and Saturday. So while he goes hunting zombies or what ever it is in Borderlands, I shall enter my own world and take on the mantle of Fae, Vampire, Human and all things in between for my own adventures. I have to keep focused. Within the story is a television show, and this television show has now exploded into its own in my imagination and plans to come out either as said television show or short stories, and a perfect starting point for the Elven Lord and I to collaborate together on a writing project. (We have a couple of concepts waiting for us to find the time and insanity to create together)

I am really excited about this book. It combines so many ideas I’ve had wanting to be written since I was maybe Fourteen when I first started trying my hand at the novel. As Stephen King says (not in these words) sometimes two different ideas come together and the real story is born. So I truly believe that this could be the one for me, my first awesome novel and the start of my career as author-writer-bard.

I’ve had a couple of new ideas for children’s stories, so those have been jotted down and filed away ready to come alive at some point when I’m not working on COTI.

Okay time to do the Daily Reading for today. I didn’t do one yesterday I was too caught up in being bored and grumpy on the couch watching television shows I don’t like, or perhaps liked twenty years ago when they were first on.
