It has been forever since I've been here, so long in fact I forgot the password I'd assigned to access this blog. After some password assistance here I am.

Inspiration sometimes comes in surprising packages. I have been thinking about my novel but not enough to actually do anything about it until tonight. It is so dumb I can't believe I am actually going to share it. My hubby took me on a date. We went to dinner and since nothing else was showing we went to see Julie and Julia. We hadn't really heard to much about the movie but we had a sitter so we went. The movie is about Julie Child and Julie Powell. I won't spoil the movie but there is a scene when Julia Child receives the first copy of her cookbook. I know I am writing a novel, which has nothing in common with a cookbook but when she opened the envelope and pulled out the book I almost cried. I think any writer would agree that holding a copy of a book they'd poured so much of themselves into would be a wonderful feeling. I knew if I ever wanted that dream to come true I needed to get past everything that is holding me down and write. Writers, write, not just talk about it.
I mentioned it on the way home and my wonderful supportive, husband, said "it'll happen." Knowing you have someone on your side, who believes in you is priceless. So, let the journey continue.
