 I figured out my password which means I can finally put some of my ideas and stuff back out there.

I was missing seeds so much (no offense or pressure meant jaydecrow )  and feeling rather blocked over the summer, but I think it's because I was also so busy.

Autumn/Winter is always my writing season.

This year...holy hell.

I've found help writing the shows, so I don't feel so tapped in them. It is such a HUGE relief. I was beginning to feel..let down by others in that respect. I have this feeling that if you are in it and you care then you should want to be part of the creation. It's how I am...so why isn't everyone else?

What this has done is open the door for inspiration, in places I didn't expect.

I picked up a book months and months ago called  "Lily Dale: The True Story of the Town that Speaks to the Dead"
I carried it in my car all summer and never touched it. Out of fear, mostly I think.  I spent so much time there growing up. My parents are close friends with a medium there. It was such a sactuary, and it is completely linked with my writing and my spiritual faith. I knew at some point I had to read it, I just didn't want to be hurt by it.

And then I felt the compulsion. I picked it up and made relatively short work of it. Friends (from Lily Dale and from CSICOP) were mentioned. Some in a light I am still uncertain if I appreciate it or not.

But it was such a good and honest read.

And so much thought and inspiration came from it, which spurned my mind just...it's been in overdrive and I have
pages and pages of notes of stories.

And don't you love it when stories you think go one way go in a complete 180?
I was shocked...and in love.

And for a good read about writing and writers and publication...
"Novel Voices" has really got me thinking. I'm enjoying it tremendously.

So yeah...I'm back!
