It's raining and I need to write...

I have all these great ideas for plays.  Then I remember the advice I was given once - read, read, read.  So, I went to Goodwill and Salvation Army, perusing their used book sections.  Now, keep in mind I already have shelves of unread books.  Books from book-swapping parties, books that have been loaned to me, books I've bought at Costco because the price was just SO good.

I digress.

So, if you read, read, read - many different types of books, then it will stimulate the creative brain cells that are waiting to dive into a new play.

I started a book by David Baldacci, an author my mother-in-law recommended.  It's called THE CHRISTMAS TRAIN.  Yes, I know, Christmas has passed.  I'm preparing for Christmas 2009.  It's a good read.  But then, I'm also reading MARLEY AND ME.  Trying to not get the two confused.  

But whenever I read, I fall asleep.  MAKE TEA.  Tea with caffeine.  

SIGH......I'll just watch a dvd.  But a dvd about a writer.  Yes, that'll count!

WILDE - an odd little movie.  Not sure I liked it.

SIGH, now I'm worrying about all the tenses I'm switching between just writing this blog!  I need to mute that darn little editor who lives in my head.

Now can you see why I get nothing done?
