Stuff I Like October 09/10 2015

The 9th

• Attending a Writer's Conference and taking 20 pages of notes.
• Meeting new fascinating writing friends.
• Scintillating conversations with literate people.
• Feeling hopeful about my future as a writer.
• Crisp, cool Cobb salad by the pool on a hot day.
• Iced coffee with a pinch of cinnamon.
• Being stuck in traffic for two hours on the way home which made my husband a captive audience to download all the plethora of things I learned at the conference.
• Words, strategies, ideas, vision, tips.
• Learning from pros.
• Buying stacks of books.
• Remembering that I started this blog last year and starting it up again!

The 10th

• Waking up and rereading all my notes because I am a giant nerd.
• Feeling reenergized in my writing efforts.
• Realizing that I'm further ahead than I realized.
• No makeup, no plans, no time commitments Saturday.
• Dried lavender on my table.
• Picking which veggies and fruit  I want from the farmer this week on farmfreshtoyou.com
• Making homemade chicken apple sausage.
• Eating leftover jalapeño cheddar cornbread and coffee for breakfast and no one home to judge me.
• Dreaming of the future and making spreadsheets filled with pros and cons. (I'll take "Things nerd love for $500, Alex.")
