Daydreamer...

I have this habit of carrying on one-sided conversations with animals (I get it from my mother...) and today while Boo and I were looking outside at all the rain, I found myself saying "Boo!  It's raining men!... Well, we wish it was raining men, don't we Boo Boo?"

It was at that moment I realized I've hit a new low.  I'm discussing the male human - or lacking of male humans, in this case - with my dog.  I need to start getting out on my days off.

Over the past few days I've started having that itch again.  (No, you dirty-minded folks.  Not that kind of an itch.)  I've been getting that itch that I need to be doing something - after taking the past four days off to do nothing but lie around and sit on my ass I feel restless and as though I need to get my act in gear.  Mind you this isn't necessarily a bad thing; it can be motivating and inspiring, but it's also when this thinking occurs that I usually do something stupid. 

This time though, I think I actually am keeping my head out of the clouds and I'm not going to regret doing or saying anything.  Instead, I decided to start another blog (yes, another blog) and also to write a book! 
My latest blog, which I'm not going to release the name of yet because I haven't quite perfected it to publishable standards, is focused on highlighting equestrian-inspired art and design (like fashion, decor, architecture, artwork, etc.) and how you can recreate that look on a tighter budget.  I have recently become drawn to the old-world equestrian, English countryside-style design... but I can't afford any of it... which is why I've decided to start my blog.  I'll be sure to do lots of advertising once I'm satisfied with it, so stay tuned for that in the very near future! 
Now for the book; I'm very excited to start digging into it.  After writing my poem Why? I thought that I would also write a "memoir" so-to-speak but in a slightly fictional way.  I plan to tell the story of a girl who loses the confidence in herself that she once had due to media pressure and how her life changes drastically throughout the process, etc.  I have a feeling that, like my poem, it will be a kind of therapy for me and I really want to tell my story from the inside out.  Basically, I'm excited to write it but I'm nervous to tell it - this is something I've wanted to do since I first became healthy again, but I'm scared that my writing won't be strong enough to live up to the story that I want to come out... I just need to shut up and start writing though or else it'll never happen at all, am I right?

This itch?  I like this one.  I'm optimistic about the possibilities and I'm excited at the thought of more work! (Sounds weird, doesn't it?  But I'm a person that needs constant structure and something to do, or else I go crazy! ... Seriously though.)

Anyways, let me know what you think about these ideas and I'll hopefully have something to show you (in both cases) soon!
