Well, that was interesting.  Yesterday, I struggled for 5 minutes trying to find where to log on and write a blog entry to this page.  Today I sat down with my cup of coffee (a pink Sleeping Beauty bug, what a metaphor!) clicked on my website and there it was.  This little link button with one word, “write.”

So write I shall.

Ah yes, the Friday ramblings.  Well, Fridays are different than my other days of the week.  Friday whatever writing work needs to be done, must be done before my better half awakens.  Luckily he is a late sleeper.

So once the man gets up, trots off into the shower, and is bright and eager for the day I am then summoned.  Hence, my writing work day is at an end.  Friday is date day.

I have discovered over all these writing years that a day off is mandatory.  After all, for those of you spiritually inclined, even God took a day off right?  And as I go throughout my day, eating a nice lunch, spending time with the love of my life, and being with my kiddos, my mind still speeds along at full force.  Muses do not follow the ways of God.  They never take a day off, or rather they don’t let me take a day off.

Yes, for me date day starts when the husband gets up and my actual honest and true day of rest begins at sundown until tomorrow (Saturday) sundown.  The muses though sneak in pushing their way through any random thought, any music on the radio, there they are, waiting for me to head back to the page.

It is funny though, those muses want that so very badly, but, as every good writer knows, when you sit down to the page, a lot of those running muse thoughts are gone, aren’t they?  Yes, thinking about writing and sitting down and writing are two different things.

However, I have this though, my blog page. My venting area.  My brainstorm, my think tank, my workshop.  My writer’s garage as it were.  Yes, that is a good name for it!

And…I am being summoned, off to date day.
