jenny_wildcatMade it home to Callao for the weekend. I swear - I get lazy whenever I come home (I did practice guitar for a half hour). Our neighbors have this huge Labor Day weekend picnic every year and it's like Woodstock Revisited - only with rednecks and hippies (proof that we can all get along - at least over a three-day weekend).
I had BIG plans to write this weekend - it never happens. But I have to mention this: I 'm taking a cue from Stephenie Meyer. Do you know how vastly inspirational music is to the writing process? (I'm sure certain members of my flist are rolling their eyes in fine "Well, duh" fashion). Seriously - yesterday as I was driving out here listening to a mix CD of Big & Rich, Creed, Nightwish and Nickelback, I worked out a huge plot element that had been bugging the snot out of me for weeks. And now - I am quite happy ^_^
[If you follow the link to Stephenie Meyer's website, she has playlists that she listened to when she was writing the "Twilight" books (they're under each of the separate books' sections). And - just as a point of ironic interest - I'm listening to the Twilight playlist and the popout window for playlist.com has an ad for The Vampire Diaries on CW. Funny.]
