Have you ever wanted to write, but the words just won't come out. I guess that has pretty much defined my writing for the last month. Snatches of inspiration come and go through my mind, but nothing has stuck and developed enough to even begin to write about. My life has settled into a pretty predictable pattern. Get up, go to work, come home, make supper, go to bed. I'm getting paid every Friday, grocery shopping, paying the bills and doing all the things a responsible person does. Boring right? I know.

However, under the guise of this simple life, my off kilter mind is still at work. I'm making plans for my chainsaw carving business. If at all possible I am going to be changing my carving location this spring. Currently I am carving at my parent's home, which is convenient, but very limiting. My partner and I have to pretend to "just be friends" whenever we are over there, which kills me! She'll be bending over painting on of my bears, cleavage all over the place, and I can't do a damn thing about it...that is just cruel and unusual punishment!

I'm also setting up an appointment for my first tattoo. Through a friend of a friend we found a really good artist who wants to trade tattoo for carving. Sweet! The hard part is his location, about seven hours away, but we'll work it out. I'm thinking about getting a small set of wings on my left arm to start out and I'll see how I like it and go from there.

Next time I check in, I'll tell you all about the book I'm working on. I'm surrounded by writers and just can't help myself. I have to try my hand at fiction writing. I've got the characters and the story line ready to go, it's just a matter of having the time and dedication to get it done!

See ya later!
