Comfort shopping…
Posted on | April 10, 2010 | Comments Off
She felt a bit better after clicking the purchase button a few times. She had bought gifts for family and that made her feel good. You can never go wrong with books and one was even a book every writer should have, “The Elements of Style Illustrated“. Who could resist that cover? That alone made you want to just have the book on a table somewhere. At least she felt that way about it. She hoped its recipients would also feel the same.
She’d struggled all day with her thoughts and wanting to write. She couldn’t get comfortable. She couldn’t think. She didn’t want to think. She was coming up with excuses. She didn’t like the color of the background in Word 7. (Now that was a lame excuse not to write.) Every sound was a distraction, even the temperature and level of moisture in the air was bothering her. It was just one of those days where every excuse was going to come into play and nothing significant was going to get done. Lots of preparation. Lots of supplies. That was always the way.
She just wanted to close her eyes and drift off to somewhere else. The first place that came to her mind was Cardiff, Wales. She wanted to visit Cardiff, Wales. Now this was not a completely researched idea yet. But she was pretty certain this was indeed No. 1 on the list of places to visit that require a passport. She did not, however, have a passport and had not done anything yet to obtain one. So there was no rush to go on this trip. But for all intents and purposes, this was just a closing the eyes and drifting off moment, so that’s where she wanted to be.
She imagined herself in Roald Dahl Plaas looking at the water sculpture and taking lots and lots of photos. She also wanted to sit with a journal, preferably one purchased there in Wales, made of leather, and write something meaningful. After all, Roald Dahl is, after all, on her favorite writer list. It would be only fitting to sit in his “plaas” (Nearby Llandaff was where he was born) and write something.
And then there was the Dr. Who and Torchwood connection. And John Barrowman. *swoon* That would require an entire blog entry which would be saved for another time.
But Cardiff would be in her future, it was a goal, a dream and hopefully would give some wonderful life experience to write about. And that’s what she would think about tonight, a future happy.
