I added the 'baby' part because I am a dork. Two things happened today that were good.
1. The electricity went out in my apartment for EIGHT hours today, allowing me to pick up my short story research material and get to reading uninterrrupted. If you are having a hard time keeping away from the internet, distractions and whatnot, I suggest you try losing the electricity. It really worked because I had no other choice!
2. My husband gave me "Let the Galaxy Burn" today for inspiration, a collection of science fiction short stories. Warhammer 40,000 series. He is a huge fan, the bookcase is full of these things. Seriously, a lot of reading to do.
I am researching so much because this will be my first work of fiction, ever. I come from the romance genre, sue me, so this is way out in left field for me. But it is a challenge, and I do like those. Wish me luck.
Did anyone feel that little nip in the air this evening? It was delicious! I am on the East coast, so I've been enjoying the swamp that is DC for the last month. The little chill brought back so many summer evening memories...
I digress.
I guess my tip for the day is (from the novice, I know): Send your ideas to the gym until they look like Lou Ferrigno. Night!
