Something *new* in the air...

Don't pop, brave new bubble world!

There is most certainly something different about my personal atmosphere lately.  Something heady and magical, shimmering right below the surface of normal.  Thinking about it is like staring down a star- anything aimed directly at it disappears hazily, but if I focus on the edge, I can see it with diamond bright precision.

The first sign- I've abandoned the Box of Soul Draining Procrastination.  As in, I've forsaken the television.  In the past, my normal after-work routine involved stomping through the door, addressing an immediate, Pavlovian instinct to use the restroom, and flinging myself down into the billowy depths of my bed to watch endless, mind numbing hours of MTV.

These last few days, I've miraculously changed my habits.  I contemplate writing. I tidy random rooms of the house. I roam lustily around the newly refurbished backyard. I paint.

What is this bizzaro world of bliss and productivity I've been abruptly beamed into?!?!!

Just this afternoon I found myself randomly recording 100 tidbits of writing inspration and advice onto a weekly calendar pad.  Apparently, I've decided to write a novel in 100 days.

And guess what.  I wrote 365 words in no time flat.

Wanna know what it's about?

Me too.

NONETHELESS- I am a changed woman, and I have to say, I'm pretty damn proud of me.

Happy Trails,

Natasha
