<b><u>Tips to cultivate ideas for National Novel Writing Month.</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blair Mirth - © 2013</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's that time of year again. The threaded spider webs are hanging up around the house - real life nightmares dangling from their captivating yet horrific homes. I have my desk decked with cards and paper, alongside my trusted Pumpkin stamp that is inked and ready for all those overseas cards I need to make for my fellow writing and crafting friends, and I am ticking of the lists of friends who have sent emails out inviting me to there festive jives and costume parties – politely sending out my replies -That will be a no thank you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before you ask, no I am not anti-social. Very far from it. But instead of spending my night in a rented costume I am following a tradition I have kept for many going on 7 years now and will be putting a different kind of costume on – my writing cape. Yes fellow writers it is that time again where we hoard the candy instead of handing it out to trick or treaters and use it to bribe ourselves to stay awake until midnight and beyond to participate in the crazy, fantastic, life changing event that is Nanowrimo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the success of my PROMPT system time and time again the lead up to November always has me feeling a rollercoaster of emotions. It has made the lead up to the event much more enjoyable and less stressful. But there are always those days, or hours before midnight when even my own organisation and plans seem to get the better of me and even though I have develop a system that works most of the time there is still that niggling doubt that I am not ready. That I am not prepared or maybe I am too prepared and what the hell am I thinking trying to write about novel when I have 7 years of finished and half finished novels to be getting on with? I know I am not alone in these feelings. Nearly everyone I know has some kind of freak out before Nanowrimo whether it's stressing about not having ideas, having way to many ideas to choose from, guilt over the time you'll be taking away from family, friends and other engagements or simply worrying that the pantry isn't stocked full enough of your favourite treats or that those pens and notebooks you brought will still remain untouched and unused by the end of the month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fear not my fellow writer. You are not alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a few ideas to get that motor of yours rolling or at least calm it down enough to not buy out an entire shelf in the confectionery isle at your supermarket. Whether you're a planner or a pantser. Whether it is your first time, second time, last time or you just want to know what the hell to do when you're looking at embarking on a crazy writing project there is sure to be something for all of you to kick start the excitement and joy that is Nanowrimo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Read </u></b>– one of the more obvious tips when it comes to writing is to read. We have heard it all before. But it's not always the easiest thing to do when you have already got a lot going on in your mind, or aren't sure which one to go with. Much like write what you know, one of the things that has helped inspire me when Nanowrimo is approaching is to read something I know I am going to love or something that has fascinated me for a long time. This works well if you are searching for an idea, or already have one because it feeds on both aspects really well. For me I am a lover of anything supernatural. So when I am working on my planning, already writing a story, need an idea or simply just doing some research I will look for anything that catches my attention. Libraries are understated for helping you choose those few books that could break you out of a slump, kick start an idea, project a little spark into your project or really help with the fundamentals of your planning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me this year I knew that I wanted to work on one of my favourite pairings of characters, but I have no idea what or how to go about writing something new and exciting. So I read a book set near the sea and that kick started an idea rolling. After a few hours jotting down everything I knew about the sea,I went to my library and browsed through books about the sea – boats, fashion inspired, vintage and history to do with haunted cruise ships etc. Then I took that information with me and explored it more. From there I had ideas for clothes, settings, characters, conflict and even murder. You don't need a lot of information and you certainly don't have to use all of it. But even just reading some non-Fiction or Fiction books about something your interested in can really invigorate your love of writing, your passion for sharing and can be a jump start for something crazy and fantastic. It might even inspire further reading after Nanowrimo and who knows, you may even meet like minded writers with the same interests that you can form great writing friendships with as well as bounce back ideas and recommendations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Youtube</u></b> – So you don't have an idea for your story, but you really love watching documentaries on youtube, or maybe you like fashion and beauty, cooking or even world news events. Youtube is another understated resource for writers and lovers of imagination. I dare you to watch a few videos and not find an idea for a poem, a song, or in case of Nanowrimo an idea for a story. Say you have no ideas, but you really love watching videos about Indian cuisine and are fascinated with the culture and language. After a few videos you might hear some crazy story about a romantic proposal gone wrong, or a tale about a girl who trained elephants and those videos and visuals could spark something in your mind. After watching a few more you'll have a jumping point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I had a need to write but hadn't yet found my story I went onto youtube and watched link after link of crazy stories. Some were fantastic so I jotted them down, but one that really stuck with me was the idea of reincarnation. After watching a few documentaries, short videos, news clips and debates I had a good basis for a story that I could work on with topics that really got me going and made me want to flesh it out even more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Generators </u></b>– These handy 'machines' as I call them have saved my ass many of times, as well as being useful for fun writing sessions and for just generating simple things like setting or characters to help me out of a pickle. Also found on the Internet there are quote a few that can be found just my searching Random scene, character, magic – the list goes on, generator into the search box. By finding simple, short prompts to spark your imagination you can find a concept, an idea or a character that will work if you haven't the foggiest what you want to write about or to add to an addition story for depth and development.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of my favorites is on a site called Pearltress which is a comprehensive site that allows you to cultivated many websites in the one place. My favorite is Team Story Generator. It is a pearl that collects generators together in one place. It is really nicely set out and easy to find the sites by clicking on the mind map style links. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Forums, chat sites and Story sharing sites [Community]:</u></b> When I first started writing as a hobby and really found it as a passion I was all alone on my brothers laptop. We had dial up connection and I had two hours to browse, research and connect. Things have changed a little with my being a grown adult and having unlimited Internet connection with decent speed, but in the midst of life I wouldn't be without my writing buddies, connections, inspiration and recommendations that come from the before mentioned website tools. Joining up to the www.Nanowrimo.org forum and chat boards is a great way to start getting involved in discussions that will lead you towards ideas, friendship and a variety of sites, references and challenges that you would probably have never found out existed before logging on and being part of the community.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my saving graces while growing up and learning about my passion in writing was a site called Story Write. Now adapted to suit the needs of the growing social media economy you can find a wealth of fantastic features on this site to suit your needs. From communities, groups, challenges and contests, forums and chat boxes, writing classes and friends from all backgrounds Story write is an in depth site that can really suit any writers needs, and there are even groups that focus on Nanowrimo too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Fan lift </u></b>– I call it Fan lifting because its not quiet writing fan-fiction, but it does take an exisiting idea, concept, character, situation and give you a place to start from. This form of idea catching comes from spending hours watching your favorite movies or television shows or finding new ones to watch. Yes- watching T.V can actually be a productive use of your time and creative too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For all of you out there who have delved into fan fiction you will know the trials of torment and the almost orgasmic pleasure you can get from taking your favourite characters and having at it with them in bizarre, insane, romantic and murderous ways. There is really no limit to the imagination when writing about the worlds you love and the people who feel like family, or you wish that would die in a hole and be maggot meat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you who haven't this concept will still work. It is simple. You watch your shows, movie, documentaries etc. and you take something from it. I will use the example in which I just finished watching a favourite TV series of mine called The Almighty Johnsons and then on the weekend my partner and I watched Thor – I didn't want to fan-fiction the stories but there were aspects of them that during and after watching really jump started my need to write and so with pen and paper I jotted down some things I liked and disliked about both and wanted to explore on my own story and I came up with a page full of ideas and little bullet points that could be expanded to write several seperate stories and here's the best thing – without actually copying the things I have watched.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My list looked a little like this: Norse Gods, Romance [change to a gay romance] – change them to brothers – change the setting to Australia – make Thor a woman? Lesbian norse Goddesses? Make one of them a star seed [ a spirit from another planet embedded in the body of a human] what planet did they come from? And so on and so forth. So it is really easy. In a way it's like playing a what if game and you can make it as close to or as far from them as you really want too. You never know what those ideas might lead to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And you can extend that even further into creating characters traits as well. Don't you just love Thor's naivety when he crashes down on earth. The scene in particular when he smashes the cup really has me laughing. So why not take that humour and naivety and give it to your character. Or maybe you see the underlining pent up emotions between characters in a show you love. Forbidden love only in you fantasies, but in the show it would never happen. Still, you love to dream and you can – just take that personality and inject it into another character and watch that unfold. You can even base a character in your novel of another in a show or movie – it's Nanowrimo and anything goes and I can garentee that after 30 days of writing that character will only look a little like the one that inspired it at the end of the month. And the experience of meeting this character will well pay off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Window Shopping</u></b>- lastly I think this is a great one. Window shopping, it goes right alongside eavesdropping. Whenever I am truly lost I like to get outside the house and watch. Whether that means I sit in a coffee shop corner booth and listen in on conversations or I walk around the city taking in my surroundings from the shops, booths, street performers, music or the culture around me I always come back with at least a page of notes on one or more of these pointers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stressed for time? Sitting on a bus? Waiting in a queue? Bullet point my lovely writer friends. In a little reporters notebook, on your phone, in your journal, on a post card or on your palm whatever you see that gets you going and the ideas churning- write it down. Better noted then lost forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And on that same front, collect things as well. If you see post cards, magazines, flyers, events anything that you think will be great for a story board or to put in your writing journal pick it up, fold it up- hell even keep a little envelope or sandwich bag in your bag to collect all that stuff and when you get home you can use it as a prompt to explore ideas. You never know- your character might love high fashion or art. They might dream of winning a trip to India or they might be seeking a room mate who loves shaving dogs and eating burnt pizza. All these little bits of inspiration that catch your eye will come in handy some point in your writing life so why not let them inspire your Nanowrimo project.</div>

already and that very soon ‘ll be eating way to many chocolates, wrapping
presents in eco-newspaper and making very bold texted Santa wish lists so I
actually get what I want this year for Christmas.</span></div>

trip from the boogie-man and no I don’t mean that horrible monster that lives
under the bed who may or may not make an appearance in my novel, no I’m
snuffluffigas with my heat pack and cough lollies pinned to my knickers. You
might think that would be enough to deter me, especially it being in the high
30’s which feels like I’m sloshing around in a sauna, but no, the sun is
shining, my skin is melting, my eyes are watering and my heart is beating so
fast with excitement that I’ll probably <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2853118925403204216" name="_GoBack">need </a>to go for a

<span lang="EN-AU">It’s that time of year again. Nanowriomo
eve and let me tell you guys it feels more exciting to me than Christmas Eve
ever has. Maybe it’s the warmth that’s heating up the room, shining a light on
the enormous pile of TBR books on my dresser and bedside table or the joy of
celebrating Halloween with the man I love cooking burritos while we watch <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Misery</i> and anticipate our own writing misery,
or maybe it’s just the simple fact that when the clock hits 12:00 I get to
enter a world, create a world and share that experience with thousands of
people in a way I can’t often with my other hobbies.</span></div>

need to be one to be this ecstatic about writing] when my fingers hit the
keyboard and the words come spilling I know within my heart that it doesn’t get
much better than this. 30 days of following my bliss and taking a chance to do
something that makes my heart sing despite the craziness and the horrendous
voices of reason that spit at me like vipers from non- nano believers and
non-writers who think that I’m just wasting my time or putting more crap into
the universe.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU">Hands up if you have endured this in the
past or recently? I still do, even though I’ve been taking the leap since 2007.
Let me tell you guys I’ve only won two times technically, but in my heart I’ve
won every time because even if I’ve been shy 20 words or 20,000 words I’ve
loved every painful, ecstatic, maddening moment of it and I’ve met some
freaking amazing people, who still to this day are very good friends and
writing buddies.</span></div>

to do something that you are passionate about, while they complain and leave
their dreams untouched?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">During the month of November I plan on
utilizing each point to help you guys out. Those who are struggling for
inspiration might want to look out for a weekly segment where I will be using
lyrics, pictures, sentence starters and exercises to jolt your enthusiasm or to
give you ideas and inspiration for your novel and its characters. Some will be
from the net, others from well-loved books I own and if you have a suggestion
feel free to email it to me and I’ll add it to the list for others to benefit
from as well. The way I see it, were all in it together; and for every prompt
each person will perceive it differently and take it to different places.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">For those of you struggling with keeping an
outline, or who want to branch out and brainstorm during Nano I will have a few
examples and ideas for you to try out as I approach a variety of ideas myself and
I will also give you a few suggestions with saving and backing up work as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">As always I’ll be reading during Nano so
you can look out for the books I’m reading if you want to rewards yourself with
some youtube videos and I will be popping a few quotes and words of inspiration
into my weekly segments to give you something to write down, or print out to
keep you motivated [as well as myself]</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Lastly I will leave you with the strongest
piece of advice that I can give anyone during Nano. This is; to just write. No
matter what- just write because you can’t go wrong and Nanowriomo is about
quantity not quality.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">If you want to add me as a friend or leave
me an email my name on Nano.org is :Disposable.Blair I will leave the link and
you can PM me there or leave me an email at <a href="mailto:Blake.constance@hotmail.com">Blake.constance[@]hotmail.com</a> I
am more than happy to help out, give you pep-talks and kick you in the ass ^_^
in a friendly matter of course. You are more than welcome to contribute to my
weekly segments and if you want to be added to the list to spread the word that
you’re doing Nano and meet new friends then please let me know. [Note: no
personal information will be shared]</span></div>

This my friends is<b><span style="color: purple;"> Art Journaling.</span></b><br />
<br />
So what is Art Journaling - My awnser - putting down my emotions, sensations, reactions and inspiration from daily life using whatever the hell I can find in my scrapbooking room and from the local bargain stores. More about that later, of course this is all new to me in the way of using paint with my fingers and really letting my creativity flow, and let me tell you it does flow. But it was not easy the first few times I played with the idea and I found myself wanting to stop, because lets face it for anyone who has seen some of the many creations out there online and on youtube it is enough to want to stay inside the craft room forever, or run from it. But this time I did not run - I jumped and I flew and I an head over heels in love with <b style="color: #8e7cc3;">Art Journaling.</b><br />
<br />
So what do I use? To begin with old scraps from my crafty projects, bits of paper of my floor, half opened stickers, old paint supplies, copius amounts of glimmer mist and lots of tape. After a few days I added bits of magazine cut outs, copic marker journaling and punched out shapes and hand cut and drawn shapes. Now only a few days into it I have added Gesso to the mix, and a number of other items to my arsinal. Like glitter, twine, ink, die cuts, ripped up books and lots and lots of other bits and peices I pick up off the side of the road [literally]<br />
<br />
I am outta practice with giving others advice and I am a newby, but I want to share my experience to some degree and hope within the next month I will have some photo's of my creating space, and the items and tools I use to create the art that means so much to me. So stick around, it is late and I am a little high on craft glue but I hope in a few days to be more consistent and hey...I might even have a challenge for you gals and guys out there...<br />

complete the layouts, what better way to get stuck into it then start with one that I tend to avoid, as I spend a lot of money on new pretty products.<br /><br />While my stash isn't large enough to really have an old stash [ as I got rid of all my old scrapping stuff when I moved in my teenage years] I did manage to find some old trinkets with the chipboard buttons you see on the tree's and on the bottom of the page. I cannot for the life of me remember who they are by as I remember getting them from spotlight sometime last year and disposing of the package straight away. I knew straight away I wanted to use them in the layout.<br /><br />I have used a basic mustard card stock from the neutrals pack by DCWV and the pattern paper you see at the top is downloaded from a site I found while searching for inspiration. Don't ask how I remember finding it, because I have no idea, but it was a blessing because it was perfect for what I wanted. You can find the collection at:</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br /><a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/">http://www.mygrafico.com</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br />This particular collection is called: Fall Owls and Tree's.<br /><br />The rest of my page consists of strips from MME- Lime Twist- Fly A Kite range, a Jenny Bowlin Month flag sticker and Black Rocketeer Thickers, oh and a black piece of cardstock from DCWV as the matting behind the photos.<br /><br />I am certain you can find the Lime Twist collection in the Scrap Therapy Store - I used Spring Zag paper – </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.scraptherapy.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=LT1006">http://www.scraptherapy.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=LT1006</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br />& Rocketeer Thickers you can find here: </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.scraptherapy.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=43066">http://www.scraptherapy.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=43066</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I printed my photo’s in wallet size print and I love how I manage to incorporate them onto the page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This might be not what the challenge called for, but since I have only started scrapbooking again and I still don’t know my way around the site or the challenges I think it was a brilliant first short and I enjoyed making it regardless.</p>Blair Mirthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16822547864891557673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853118925403204216.post-69141767211664135902011-05-22T06:56:00.000-07:002011-05-22T07:06:31.303-07:0022 Days Off Me - 30 Days off Challenge, Drawing to and end early<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUu1KYUmc_6999VKGl98T1w9k_7mrdFmn67DA_v93JE8_gULlKZjCpfUsF_Mbd4jtyqV5_92aUv-pm9PO2yGEhw1eCGS2w9ien4Ca3P1RFmJcaiX8Dby5NSMVHy9wtTCcT3wrnZHyy7Q0/s1600/DSCN0809.JPG"><img style="display:block;

In fact I have achieved quite a lot. From mastering new recipes, starting a new short story, finishing many projects and layouts and having a blast creating and growing and most importantly doing something I love.<br /><br />I realized as the approach of my new course was drawing closer that I needed not to stress, but to wind down and appreciate the time I have, for I am going to love it more come study and work [I know I will get a job..no work towards a career by starting to work towards my dreams.<br /><br />I am looking forward to packing a notepad in my handbag to jot down the experience and bringing the camera to capture candid every day moments and milestones as I journey towards my goals in life, because I also learned that while it is great to take time for myself, there needs to be a balance to appreciate it more.<br /><br />Meanwhile...I have been rather busy with...layouts...and random doobies and a mini album... and I will show you some progress photos now. I am still working on the album but I created a page with the scraps left over and the many photos that still remained. It was going to be along the lines of a Gothic poser page but I decided to document me at 17.<br /><br />Oh and I have two projects I hope to share pictures with later as well.<br /><br />xx BlairBlair Mirthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16822547864891557673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853118925403204216.post-6961279193289822502011-05-18T09:15:00.001-07:002011-05-18T09:25:43.286-07:00Challenge Update - Day 16-19 - May 2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkFe-sIKG1IevaYMltLWnUbQgmnRACabFDK8NnT0ywvRLH1Py7fspDq7ucrpGMKS31CENY11T54PhotMxOaD0zdSE8gMa4Vmzr4gUWCntwr6en4AdoG2kC_pNzoRHWM9QO3jHakAt8TYw/s1600/Litttle+Birdie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkFe-sIKG1IevaYMltLWnUbQgmnRACabFDK8NnT0ywvRLH1Py7fspDq7ucrpGMKS31CENY11T54PhotMxOaD0zdSE8gMa4Vmzr4gUWCntwr6en4AdoG2kC_pNzoRHWM9QO3jHakAt8TYw/s320/Litttle+Birdie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608091611317612562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwHWq1N9_MLv4JXcU51tT5dqcboiJYDMVxE6j4km-JKNup4PmxaAPalKovNvm9WO6ZciXwvUVa7tyqKWOVmuwh6mRk8_fDOj018J5UPZLdmbj5w61fFs4FULydesfXuiScSmExBhiowI/s1600/Blue+Birdie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwHWq1N9_MLv4JXcU51tT5dqcboiJYDMVxE6j4km-JKNup4PmxaAPalKovNvm9WO6ZciXwvUVa7tyqKWOVmuwh6mRk8_fDOj018J5UPZLdmbj5w61fFs4FULydesfXuiScSmExBhiowI/s320/Blue+Birdie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608091617695655330" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Should Be Back Soon ....<br /></span></div><br />Meetings, course planning, friend and family guests have taken up most of my time and thrown my schedule out the window.

I have started forming my review to post tomorrow and I have until then to finish reading Voices on the waves. I also pulled out Glory in Death [?] by J.D.Robb to get stuck into again. I am hoping it might get me out of this slump I am in to read something a little more intense, and I am avoiding reading the Van Allen Legacy at current because it is so slow to read with my current mood.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">However I did get excited and get a little kick out of choosing some books I plan on reading soon, or in the future anyways. I also decided to film a book topic and what I want to read video for my youtube channel, which I hope to have up tomorrow.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-size:14.0pt;" >Writing:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Let me tell you when I get an idea in my head I usually cannot sleep until I follow through with it, but this idea to rewrite my first novel ‘The Apparition Man’ has been going around in my head going on three years now. I have tried countless attempts and It suddenly occurred to me, with the help of my partner and my writing group that I have to take the skeleton of what I do know about the story and keep it in the background to completely rewrite my story from scratch.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This realisation is a revelation and something so freeing that when I pulled out the old brown paper and colour markers I knew once I had finished laying everything out and putting the past to the side [or hopefully in a cardboard box for the garage] I could look at my baby with new eyes when I was ready and begin something fresh with the characters I loved so very much.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I did this by mind mapping. I put the title in the middle, then the characters names on either side. Also in the middle I put the links between the two.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Such as, the car accident, the jetty scene and the rehabilitation clinic that they both go too. For a novel this complex, that deals with parallel universes and sci-fi & paranormal themes it is important for me to get the basics down so I know where to go with it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The outcome of 20 minutes was an achievement I have been striving for and failing to do for three years. Here is my mind map, where events over the four parts of the book I have written so far for the novel are dot pointed. It surprised me that there was so little when it came to actual plot points, but I know I will fill them in and continue the journey of writing once I begin.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">For now it is enough to know I have made progress.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-size:14.0pt;" >Home Made Cooking:</span></b> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Tonight I decided to make good old Potato Bake. I used a sachet of potatoes bake sauce [Any brand will do] and then I followed the basic recipe for potato bake. Only I used onion and diced bacon as well in the middle of the potatoes and the sauce to give it some extra flavour. I topped it with tasty cheese and yum yum Iooks tasty doesn’t it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You could alternatively use this recipe: <a href="http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/Easy-Potato-Bake-L160.html">http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/Easy-Potato-Bake-L160.html</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-size:14.0pt;" >Crafting:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I have been taking a somewhat break from actual crafting itself and have spent most of today waiting on my favorite youtube channels to submit more videos [thus procrastinating] however early morning [like 3 am] I finished a layout with a photo I took at random and I am pretty happy with it. I think I ruined it with the arrow stamps, but it was an experimentation layout with masking tape and some form of crackle pain oh and the messy freaking embossing powder.

I know I should be well and truly into the 30 book limit right now with my 50 book challenge, but I have been reading books that aren’t all that exciting and it is hard to get involved with the characters. Not to say they are not good books, but I am coming to realise even more that The Van Allen Legacy is becoming another information loaded book and I am more interested in things happening action wise at the present moment. After all I do need something to pick me up and lift me out of this reading blockage.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">Crafting:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Not a lot of crating today actually, none. I did however get an excellent package in the main today and you can find the video of my haul here: I was super excited to know it came in so quickly. I also went to Hobby sew and picked me up a lot of red products. My favourite being some pattern paper and Tim Holtz distress ink. It’s not so much that I have been avoiding it, but I did want to give myself the chance to try different things today, even though for the most part I just wanted to create so who can deny the urge to do so?</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">Exercising:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal">This is pretty non-existent at the moment and I am not going to shame myself.</p>Blair

Not to mention now ordering more online since my paypal account has been link to my bank card [ was that a mistake :p] </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;mso-border-bottom-alt:dotted windowtext 3.0pt; padding:0cm;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 31.0pt 0cm"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Century","serif"">I don’t think I am failing exactly.

I have to admit it was really hard and until we got in to a group discussion my brain didn’t click onto the storyline and I found myself picking out certain things and having a good time looking outside the circle.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Century","serif"">After that I spent a few hours in bed relaxing. I am pretty weak at the moment and am making every attempt to challenge myself and keep on track.

I loved the kit that we got, as I have been contemplating doing a few projects with the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">BO Bunny Time Piece Range. </i>I also got a packet of Prima Flowers [drools] and some extra bits and pieces as well. Let me tell you I am loving getting stuck into techniques and I got to try some pretty snazzy ones tonight.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Century","serif"">From embossing [?] sanding, curling, cutting, gluing and scoring I am so pleased with my layout so far.

So I just had to go to my local scrapbooking store to stock up on some new papers, an album and more goodies.

with wide eyes and inspiration and after my uncontrollable nap I felt the ease of a warm day slow me down while I had to gather my thoughts and my supplies and spent the night instead working on my projects. Ah hurrah for sleeping with the air-con on and waking up with a headache from a coughing fit.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Century","serif"">Writing: </span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century","serif"">I seemed to hit a hot spot late last night when I should have been sleeping. An Idea came to me, like it always does when I was reading and I had to stop to note it down.

That goal is to reach 5k. Which will be the hallway mark for my goal in as little as three days, I am insane. It goes to show the proof of what a writing schedule can do.

It was a glorious day and I spent the better half of it sitting in my study. I didn’t mind so much. When we finally did go down town we opted for the quickest way there and home seeing as we had a few things to carry. If it wasn’t for the remembered Juice and Milk we would have spent the last 15 minutes walking home, thus we’ll have to make up for it with an evening stroll- hopefully sometime after dinner.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Century","serif""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Century","serif""> </span></p> <div style="mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-bottom:dotted windowtext 3.0pt; padding:0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;mso-border-bottom-alt:dotted windowtext 3.0pt; padding:0cm;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Century","serif"">It’s day three, and I suppose it takes a few more pushes for me to get to where I really need to be, or maybe it’s I need less ready cash to tempt me into allowing myself to make the easiest choice.

I really hope he likes it. It is simple, and I did mostly use old photos and scrap paper, but it is the thought that counts.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century","serif"">You can find my video of the album through this link: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y7rs5PqVJ4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y7rs5PqVJ4</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century","serif"">I also made a trip down to my local scrapbooking shop today as well to pick up a few more bits and bobs to finish of my pages. I ended up picking up more than I intended to, but got what I came for and finished my [Poor Wet Baby Sandy] Layout, which I am happy with. Not as happy as I want to be since my style is still limiting me to the basics, but I guess I need to expand a little and get looking at some different techniques.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century","serif"">All I have to do now is add the finishing touches to the birthday card that will accompany the mini-album and I have a handmade birthday present filled with love.</span></p> <div style="mso-element:para-border-div;border-top:dotted windowtext 3.0pt; border-left:none;border-bottom:dotted windowtext 3.0pt;border-right:none; padding:1.0pt 0cm 1.0pt 0cm"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;mso-border-top-alt:dotted windowtext 3.0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt:dotted windowtext 3.0pt;padding:0cm;mso-padding-alt:1.0pt 0cm 1.0pt 0cm"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Century","serif"">Reading: </span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;mso-border-top-alt:dotted windowtext 3.0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt:dotted windowtext 3.0pt;padding:0cm;mso-padding-alt:1.0pt 0cm 1.0pt 0cm"><span style="font-family:"Century","serif"">I got a few pages of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Time to Write</i> finished early this morning before I started writing and I do plan on reading a little more before the night is done.

[Yum]</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Century","serif"">The recipe is simple. Add Mince and garlic together and cook until brown.

Quick, easy and delicious.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Century","serif"">In the coming days I shall share with you the recipes I try

interested in other creative endeavors, but I didn’t neglect the scene that was roaming in my head like a rampant beast while I was trying to enjoy my morning wake up Chai Tea.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Try as I did though, I only managed a little over 500 today, but a little is better than nothing and my final word count for my DCBB story today is 549 which brings it to 1987 words.

Yes well, no one knows more about cracking knees and muscle tearing than me when it comes to doing the strange excited crafting dance as a form of exercise and landing myself in my study chair. Do you think lifting a glue gun counts as well?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">I did do some exercise. Not to certain if it was half an hour, but much like yesterday we went for a walk in town to get some lunch and to the scrapbooking shop [Hobby Sew] at the other end of town. I have probably eaten more than I can walk of and while I tried to muster up the energy to walk this morning and late last night I just couldn’t get myself there. I blame Daniels sniffling and snuffling. It is making me cold return and all I want to do is climb into bed and sleep.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">God I hope it is cool enough to go for an evening stroll after dinner tonight. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Speaking of which.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">Home Cooking:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Tonight I have decided to cook an easy adapted recipe for Tuna Bake.</span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Ingredients:</span></u></b></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Tomato soup [canned]</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Onion [chopped finely]</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Canned Tuna in oil</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Pasta of your choice [Dry-uncooked]</span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Method:</span></u></b></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Add the Tomato Soup, Onion and Canned Tuna into a saucepan and cook together until hot.</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Put Pasta in a round over proof dish and pour the hot ingredients over the top, stirring both the pasta and ingredients together.</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Cook in the over with the lid on for 45 minutes. </span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Cover with Cheese and put back into oven for a further 30 minutes or until cheese is crusty and golden.<br /> <br /> </span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Trust me when I say it is rich and divine.

I wasn’t really planning on doing anything apart from working more on my album- which I did, but when I came across some money my mind searched the photos I had and it was set- I had to go scrapbook shopping at my local Hobby Sew.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>$100+ later and with my creative juices exploding in my brain I had to start as soon as I got home.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">I started two layouts. One [Poor Wet Baby Sandy] using the pictures I had to take when our little kitten Sandy fell into the bathtub and was swimming around with the clothes. He came out drenched and looking a little too much like a rat, but I quickly dashed for the camera and took these shots and while my layout didn’t plan out as it did in my head- due to me exploring with my good paper before testing my new Martha Stewart Cutter on scrap paper, but I am really happy with the layout thus so far. I do need to add a few more things and it means a trip back to the scrapbooking store [ehm excuses] though I am pretty certain I am leaving the layout simple.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">The other one I had the idea for halfway through creating the first. This one I decided to use my favorite colors on, and since I brought some flowers and new Glimmer mist Rum raisin [Yum] to test try I got stuck right into it while the other layout was drying. I chose Lilac Kaiser craft painted a block of chipboard to use as a matt, I Glimmer misted a piece of embossed cardstock and some lace and even used the lace as a stencil. Glued it all down, arrange the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">PRIMA flowers</i> I brought today and added these cute <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">PRIMA Sculptured Flowers.</i></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">I already have a fair idea what I am going to do to finish the layout. Again I like to keep it simple, but elegant. My natural need to over embellish has to be restrained because I tend to take them one step to far and ruin a layout. However I am really happy with the progress I have made with my creative crafting today.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">Reading:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">I kicked started the morning hitting the 100 page mark in Voices of the waves so I am well okay with hitting the goal posts if I keep up my 50 pages. It is a confusing read, sometimes it hits a hot spot and just as quickly plummets, but I am still enjoying the small pleasures it entails.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">I haven’t spent much time today reading, so I am hoping to kick of this late evening with a few chapters read of each book. I kept getting distracted with other ideas and creations, but much like writing a little goes a long way and if I can stay away from a Gossip Girl marathon I should have the next few hours and early morning to get a few pages read.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Century","serif""> </span></p>Blair

Eager to learn, explore and enjoy the passion and journey that is creating and scrapbooking. In light of her new collection available March 20th, Swiss is hosting a contest to win one of the stamps in her collection.<br /><br />I would be super honored, to even get a chance to use these new stamps and would love to share the experience with the world and in the world of scrapbooking. I adore the new collection, from the birds to the crafty designs. Its so unique and gorgeous.<br /><br />You can find her links here:<br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:officedocumentsettings> <o:allowpng/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if
