What? What? WHAT?

I love Dr. Who.

Actually, I love having Donna with the Doctah more. She's amazing and SO much better of a match for him than that Rose. Go Donna. Conquer the Universe. You know you wanna.

I really cannot believe I haven't written in this since January. How did that happen? Well, I've been super busy.

We went to a writing seminar on Saturday called "Writing while you breathe" or "Breathing while writing" or "Breathing and it's affect on your body", or something like that. We had to stand up and breathe and then shake and then pound on our legs. After that, we got to sit down and write while keeping one hand on our friend, Ms. Belly. Or Mr. Belly, depending on the seminar participant. It was a bit more involved than that, but honestly, I don't remember the sequence of events. I just remember wondering if Kevin was going to write and if he'd let me read what he'd written. He wrote a little and I have not read it. It looked more like his list of to-do items to me....heh....

I did write a lot. Once I finish it, I'll post it here. :) Of course, "a lot" is subjective. I wrote a lot for me especially after I didn't think I'd be able to write anything. Another participant wrote about 3 novels. She was constantly flipping pages.

I was on a roll at one point. Words were flying out of my pen and getting written down on the page - it was fun and fluid and real and exciting and it was "magical"...and then........the seminar leader said "Relax your jaw!"....and it stopped. My hand wanted to curl up into a fist and strike something, cause I just lost concentration. I never really did get it back no matter how much I breathed or how deeply.

The good news out of all this is that I am still breathing. Yes, 4 days after the seminar and still yet, I breathe.
