This summer, at writing bootcamp, an amazing Newbery Honor author urged us fledgling writers to "be luminous." I'm trying to decide if that applies to blogging.
Things that are not luminous:
I currently base a day's success on how many vegetables I have hidden in the boys' foods. Yesterday's triumphs: clandestine veggies in oatmeal, cookies, popsicles, and smoothies. It was a five star day.
I am not writing or creating art. I am in creativity limbo, and it will end tomorrow when I will get my act together. It will happen! A big Monday is a-coming!
Things that ARE luminous:
My sister. She sent me two hand sewn skirts this summer (skirts with pockets!). They are wearable quilts of genius:
New teachers. We are the welcoming committee at our school this year, and I feel pretty ridiculous that everyone needs far less help than I need on an annual basis, and I've lived here for almost eight years. They are competent. And kind. It's silly. I keep hoping someone will rampage, but they seem to just be pretty swell.
Tuesday. After I get my act together, there will be art to post to this. There will be works written. There will be peace on earth. Maybe.
