Lesson In The Frustration?
What’s wrong with this picture? Why it’s the fact that the knitting is not on the needles as it should be. See I made some sort of mistake in my last lacy row and now my count is off and I have no clue how to fix it and I must start over…again.
So I’m going back to zero and unwinding. I put the knitting down for a full week as I thought of going forward with the mistake but I knew in my heart I couldn’t do it. There would be a flaw in the pattern. The only way forward was to go back and start over.
So painful as it is this is where I am now. Unwound and snipped off and back to the starting point.
Of course there is an obvious lesson in this pain that has to do with life and writing that’s hitting me on the head that I’m sure will make a great speech later when I’m feeling more accomplished, but right now I’m just feeling like a person that can’t walk, chew gum and knit.

Bright Idea
So I’ve been struggling with writer’s block and part of it is too many ideas and part of it is fear and then another part of it is terrible indecision… UGH!
But thankfully I think I’ve now got a little bit of a handle on the beast that has been roaming around in my head. Now the words are not flying across the page yet, but my thoughts are getting more streamlined and contained into something (though it’s a lot bigger and more daunting than expected) that feels like a story I can get my heart and mind around.
Something else I can get around and it goes with the whole idea of streamlining are these lovely Moleskin notebooks for bright ideas found on Etsy. Aren’t they cute? You can find them here.
Have any bright ideas lately?

Metro Memories
What’s Jack up to? Poor Jack is trying to catch a breeze just like me. It’s too hot for the dog to do anything but chill where he can.
Happy Monday! So summer is officially here. Today the dear twins go to their summer job orientation (Yay for kids working) and I start on getting into my summer writing swing. Let’s hope I swing big.
I hope you had a good weekend. Me? I heard this song well after midnight on Saturday night while playing Blackjack waaaayyy past my bedtime and it brought back so many memories. Yeah, it was a fun weekend.
Best,
KwanaP.S. Not enough guys with perfect Covergirl coral lips in videos anymore.
