Maybe I should change the title here, to Mondays To Do list, as I am pretty much making a list of things I’ve set for myself to get accomplished this week.

I could… but, like most to do lists, we write things down and then never look at the list again! Oh well… good intentions and all that!

My heart was filled with good intentions when I started doing the theme for Monday Messages, as I was trying to elicit more interactions from friends and readers. While there was some response from some, I doubt most people actually read the messages… let’s face it, if you don’t want to read your own to do lists, why on earth would you want to read what someone else plans on getting done for the week!

I get it! But it doesn’t mean that I’ve any intention of stopping… I’m going with the old adage, Fake it til you make it! I’m a Chatty Cathy, remember, so I can talk for anyone in the room… it’s what I do! 

This week in my neck of the woods, we have a storm system headed our way, so it’s gonna get wet, then really cold and dry and then possibly snow before next week… who knows. That’s the thing about weather… it can change on a dime, without caring who said what. But it does add to my adventurous mood, with the rain and wind being all blustery. My goal this week is to steadily begin moving forward with Brutus. 

Is it just me, or is it super hard to get back into the routine of things after a major holiday season. Don’t laugh, but I was really concerned that I would lose the thread of my dragon and his story, while taking a leave of absence for my eye surgeries, and then the Holiday that directly followed. I’d anticipated having time to relax and rest, which I did to a point, but my brain kept itching… a lot… hence, the creation of Tilly!

Well, I do like to multi task, so I suppose it doesn’t hurt to add a line of children’s books to my list of passions. Never fear my friends, as I have also discovered that Brutus is still alive and well in my mind! 

This week will be the first week that I actually practice my new writing style of what I’m calling Free Writing… in the moment, off the cuff and winging it! I will edit later is my new mantra.

I’ll admit that it is easier to do with my big projects, as you all don’t get to see my typos and fragmented statements, or possibly the run-ons that will happen in those stories before being edited. For all of the writing you get to experience here, on my site, it won’t be so easy. 

Never fear, as cookies will always be near, to cover my misspells fragments and things that are just weird! Did you see how I made that rhyme… did ya???
