Rainy days and Mondays...

It's a horrible rainy Monday morning here in Sherwood Forest and I have ideas buzzing around in my head and I should be happy about that but guess what... I'm as cheerful as the weather at the moment. Maybe it is the weather, I don't know.
What I do know is that I have rain lashing down outside, too many thoughts in my head to sort out to any satisfactory conclusion and the beginnings of a headache.
Well, that has to be my moan for the day over and done with so I'll have a go at looking on the bright side.
I have my cat - Stripes - lying on my desk. She's not in my way and she's very peaceful and happy. She no longer has the kitten stripes that she was named for unless the light catches her just right. Then my daughter's cat - Garfield - is lying on Trev's chair, also alseep and peaceful (hey, this is working, I'm smiling)...
Some of the ideas that are in my head go like this:

Ancients and Gods seems to be waiting for something. I can't get the words out of my head at the present time. I know where the story wants to go and I'm willing - more than willing - to let it take me (us) there but it's waiting. I've found that until the story is ready to come, there's no point trying to force it because I'll just end up frustrated... oh... yeah, here I am with that, see? Point proven I think.

Dusty is the same too... it's a difficult past that I'm trying to 'remember' (create) for her and she's not quite ready. I spent some of yesterday plotting her history - names details etc and I found that her mum hasn't been mentioned by name yet. She'll let me know when she's ready I think.

I'd like to get back to Celtica Diamond, she has a great story to tell but again, not quite the right time.

The story that popped into my head just this morning and has been nagging at me is one that I didn't want to do. I have stayed away from this story because of a few reasons - cliche, 'done to death', 'everyone and their dog has done this' etc etc but I think I want to write a Vampire story.
Oh I don't know, it may never happen but if it does, you'll find out about it here first, I promise.

Off I go then to see which character finds me and acosts me first.

Michelle, even authors need to rest sometimes and recharge their (and their characters') batteries - perhaps you need a day to pamper yourself? How about a nice bubble bath, making a special dish just because you like it; watching a favorite movie ... I'm sure after you take care of you, one of your characters will come along and say, "hey, wake up, girl, I have a story to tell!" Love and hugs from Julie xoxox

Thanks Julie... I know what you're saying is true but I bet you find it difficult to practice the skill of 'looking after you' too... :)
