Creative Friday

Yesterday, Laura and I had our Creative Friday! It was sooo good to see her again ... to feel the strength of her support and to be re-infused with enthusiastic inspiration.

We did what we do best: Ate and hang out in bookstores. She asked if we could meet early so we could eat breakfast AND lunch, lol.  Sharing her appetite, I responded with a resounding and excited yes. ☺ At breakfast, we got each other caught up on our lives. During lunch, she shared in confidence, parts of her history which were quite riveting.

Despite it being Black Friday, the bookstores were not at all congested.  We found ourselves spending most of our time in the New Age and Reference sections of both Barnes & Noble and Borders Books.

~ Few books I found of interest ~

We had fun taking pictures of each other with books around us on the floor.  As those pictures were taken using Laura's camera, I'll include those here once she sends them to me.

Being with her inspired me to finish up my next Exploration project and to blog more. I decided that instead of blogging just about my life, I will include results of my warm-up writing assignments taken from several books.

As we were wrapping up our get-together back at my place, we sampled some of the assignments in one of her books.  I jotted down several to try. So in my next post, I will provide the results from one of the assignments, one of which is as follows:

Create a recipe. The title of the recipe is "How to Write Everyday". The words to use in creating the recipe is grease, roast, fold, rub, cook, bake, tender, shake ... LOL, it will be sooo fun. Laura also has the same assignment, but she is to use a different ingredient of words. ☺

I slept in today, sleeping way more hours than I'm used to, and I now need to take time to get ready to head off. This is the day I get introduced to Bill's children ... I'm nervous and excited at the same time! ☺
