feeling that energetic push

the wild rush that seems to seep into me here and there when writing is imperative, when self-exploration is inevitable and when I'm engrossed in creating--something, anything. This time it's Issue Two of Plum Ruby Review. Editing and producing a magazine is a lot of hardwork, let me tell you.

I've been reading a lot, which is tough in between everything I have going on, but my current list includes:

  • The Unfinished Tales: The Lost Lore of Middle Earth

  • J.R.R. Tolkein: Author of the Century

  • How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci
    (which has an interesting counter Web site...how NOT to think like Leonardo Da Vinci)

  • A Whack on the Side of the Head, seeing as I'm getting ready for school again.

    I'm keenly interested in writers who are in the midst of developing full-length novels. I'm going to be testing my creativity exercises out this semester and will need a couple of guinea pigs who are willing to try out some of the tools that I have. If you know of anyone who is looking for some extra oomph in their writing, let me know.

    We spent the evening at Joe's brother's. His sister-in-law pointed us toward Awful Plastic Surgery, which allows you to get your fix of surgeries gone wrong (oh my old meanie boss should be heading in for her FOURTH nose job this month...I'd kill to see her with the clay holding up her nose after they remove the cartiledge.) Vanity. I swear. The Meg Ryan pictures made me the saddest...I really loved her and never thought she would have stooped to altering her face like she did.

    And today, Joe was saying he hoped there would be another Beulah album out soon...so I went to check out the site and it looks like it SHOULD be cool but nothing links through. At least he'll be pleased to discover that Weezer AND The Get Up Kids are getting ready to release a new album...and they'll be rolling into town on March 12!

    Even better, Bob Mould is Web-enabled now!
