There are times when I dive right in to insane projects. Take, for instance, the 3-Day-Novel contest. You spend your entire Labor Day weekend sitting around writing a novel. You end up eating strange foods, not showering regularly, and have a (short) book by the end. I started this project at 12:00 a.m. on Saturday and am still going. Sadly, I ended up scrapping the first attempt and am now on the second one. I needed a break from writing and decided a blog would be a good idea while I wait for my espresso to brew and my breakfast to cook.
I routinely say yes to doing insane things. The next big one is that I said yes to, and am now making a public commitment, is doing a 10k in the spring in Oregon. That is a bit insane from my end, but a good kind of insane, I think. One could argue that going to music school is insane and another person could argue that having a purple bookshelf is insane. All I know is that I have a lot of energy and when I get bored, big projects are planned and completed in a very short amount of time.
I watched the movie "Julie and Julia" and thought that was a cool idea. I'm a pretty terrible cook and much more vegetarian than Julia Childs, so I decided to very slowly work my way through my jumbo Moosewood Cookbook. It's slow going but kind of fun to expand the dishes I can make. I don't like potato pancakes, however, and I have a few more of those recipes in there. I really don't understand the point of potato pancakes. Just make hashbrowns; they're easier. Hmm. I've been ranting about potato pancakes in my book, too. This seems to be a topic.
Anyway, I've been staying up until 3 or 4 each morning, getting up in the double-digits, writing for a good 8-9 hours, practicing for 2 hours, and then watching a bit of Netflix before falling asleep. It feels good and natural. Now if I can only get paid to live like this...
Moral of today's pancake: hashbrown.
An Erinku:
there is a thing
called the sun
I'll see you
soon
