I can only let her out for certain holidays though. Happy SPD!<br /><br />Wendy -- I've been thinking of you in your world down under. I'm glad the 'wild mind' had gotten into you. Is it making you clean your nest any better? Is it allowing crazy thoughts to come unbidden and they're so tempting you just have to write them down? I hope so. Miss you, come back soon, or rather, come back when you feel you're ready.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-33676160371100005172010-03-17T17:06:04.585-04:002010-03-17T17:06:04.585-04:00I think the 'wild mind' has taken me over....I think the 'wild mind' has taken me over.

It's very fun to write that way, I call it 'the dark side'.<br /><br />Davin -- Let the voices go Davin! It's all about losing control! Living in the wild mind is one of the best places I've ever been. And I'm supposed to be a nice Irish Catholic girl.

I love Natalie Goldberg -- her "<em>Writing Down the Bones</em>" is one of my favorite books on the craft of creative writing.<br /><br />The planning phase of my WIP is back on track! Yesterday was a huge day for me. Getting downstairs, into the natural light of a wall of windows, with index cards spread around me, I finally moved forward with this project.<br /><br />Thanks for all your encouragement!
