Over the past couple days I have been inspired to work on several different things. Usually when I'm this inspired I am super happy, tired, or very sad. Well I have no reason to be sad...life is great. I have not been tired when I've been inspired to work on each piece. So it has to be that I am super happy. I'm not just super happy, I'm rather giddy. I spend a lot of time smiling and just enjoying life. It might just be that I'm still on a mood high from Saturday, or I'm just super happy from being on a mood high lol.
So when talking to C the other day, he said I was super talented. To myself I don't think I'm that talented, I just like to try different things and I'm good at some of them. I wouldn't use the words SUPER TALENTED. So when we were talking I mentioned that I have tried writing books, usually for young adults. I said I couldn't write children's books or adult books. C went on to say anyone could write children's books and something else after that lol. Confession 1: I took this statement as a challenge, even though he didn't mean it to be. So taking this challenge, today I tried to write a short children's book. What I wrote wasn't too bad. The only reason I was inspired was because I was holding a purple pen and decided to write in cursive. It just flowed out of my pen as I wrote. I ended up with what I would describe as several pages to a book written before I ran out of paper. My story is about a little girl who wants to be a princess and one day she hits her head and then she is suddenly thrown into the world of the princess and the pea with a twist. I let B, one of the people I live with, read it and she said it was really good and would be good for a child of 8-10 years old. So I might keep working on it. Sadly, I cannot draw how I see my main character...so I might have to ask C.
Another project I have been working on for a while is figuring out what to carve on my pumpkin. I have to thank C for the inspiration. He had me draw my character Fuzzy the other night, and now I think Fuzzy shall be what is on my pumpkin. We shall see how it turns out, LOL.
The last big project I am working on, is one I started this summer. I couldn't sleep one night, so I grabbed a chunky black sharpie, and a piece of white poster board. From the depths of my mind flowed several trees and grass and darkness, with the left side of the paper completely blank. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to draw, so I just went to bed. I didn't try working on it again, until maybe 2 weeks ago at the earliest. I had considered a path or river for that empty side. With the help of my artistic little sis, I decided on a river. Slowly but surely my picture is coming together. The trees are getting details, leaves are showing up, a river and more trees now fill the left half. This will be the biggest project I've ever finished. My goal is to get it done in the next couple weeks, so I can find something new to work on. Maybe some knitting or writing a book, or who knows what. I guess I'll see.
So for all of those you may be reading this. A friend of mine brought up the question "How do you live globally?" I was unable to answer, but maybe some of those who are reading can answer how you yourself are living globally and maybe define living globally.
