FUN-tastic friday!!

Happy Happy Friday!!! I plan on seeing Alice in Wonderland tonight and enjoying some Don Julio's Mexican Food! Should be a pretty fun-tastic weekend! What are your plans?

Thanks to my wonderful husband I was able to get another 2,000 words added to my current WIP. I must say that it did not come easy, Wednesday evening I had somewhat of a breakdown explaining to him that the book was going nowhere, I had all these ideas in my head but I was unable to put them on paper, the novel was out of order and the story had changed a bit. All the excuses in the world and yet he took the time to listen to all of them, and remained calm. Something he's excellent at.

Are you a calm person?! Do you think it helps you in writing? I will tell you I'm the exact opposite of calm, which is why when I'm in the middle of freaking out I accomplish nothing. I also forget to breathe! Anyways my wonderful husband read my WIP all 30,000 words to help me out. He let me know what he thought, what he liked and disliked and if he liked the direction I was going. Luckily enough he said he was still very much intrigued and was able to get me back on the right page, and I've been ecstatic since!

So have you ever had any freakouts and thought you'd never make it out alive? Were you able to pick yourself back up? Or are you still stuck and need some help climbing out?

So the past two days I haven't been writing. Not because I don't want to, but because I just haven't had the time. With the stress of life in general sometimes its hard to get my head screwed on straight, at this point I would much rather have my head in the clouds. However I am happy to say that this evening I plan on writing, and it is the perfect day to do so, it's cold and rainy. Normally I am not a fan of this weather during the week, but when I am working on my Natalie story and The Collector I find that I work best when it is dark and rainy, gives me more of an eerie, terrifying feeling.

Now depending on the weather this evening I might make a visit to my local coffee shop. The Daily Brew, it is my favorite, now I am not a coffee drinker, but they serve cinnamon rolls!!! I must make an exception since as you all know that is my favorite snack! I also find that when I take my writing outside of the house I can concentrate more on just the work at hand, rather than the laundry that needs done, kitchen counters needing to be clean, catching up on DVR'd shows, you know... daily life. It's also very quiet and peaceful, they choose a light blend of music and it just adds to the inspiration!!

Where is your favorite place to write?

PS - Due to my busy schedule I have yet to be able to comment on several blogs, don't worry I haven't forgotten about you, I plan to take a look at your blogs sometime this week :)
