Random Thoughts from The Ninjawriter

There has been a lot going on lately so I apologize for the lack of posts.  I recently purchased a new camera and will be testing it out and looking for good shots to post on my blog.  It is so interesting what can end up being inspirational.  Hopefully, I will get some great shots. At the very least I'm hoping to update my profile a little bit.

No sage advice today, I am just keeping my eyes open for bits of inspiration that fire up my brain cells. It is one of those quiet, reflective days or maybe I just need to drink more of my cherry Amp. That is probably more the case.  Sorry that this is so unexciting.  I am really excited about my camera.  It will be the first really nice camera I have had.  Last night when I was trying it out, I discovered that it automatically takes pictures when it "sees" that the subject is smiling.  That is pretty much full of awesome in my book! Okay, I'm going to go and read the camera manual.

Happy Ninjawriting Everyone!

Mundane Aspects of Being a Writer

I finally procured a couple of journals (yay!).  My goal is to freewrite in them every day.  Not sure if I will be able to do it, but I'm not enforcing a time requirement or word requirement.  I'm just writing to see where it takes me.  I feel that it is necessary for me to keep focused on tasks and avoid life distractions.  It is so convenient to find other things which seem more important.  I spent a good deal of today peeling, chopping and cooking carrots.  I'm sure you can see that this of course had to be done today, on my only day off. Very important.

The other important things on my list involve creating myself a "writing corner" which strangely enough has not been done yet today.  I am sure I am not procrastinating, I just thought I might write a bit of my new story.  I have added a whopping 22 words to it.   At this rate, I may just get it published before I die.  The ideas are all there, bouncing around inside my brain, I just keep getting distracted by other things going on in my house.  I suppose I really should go and organize my writer's corner. ~sigh~
