Friday Freeday: First Friday Back!
Good morning!Now that the holidays are finally slowing down, I am returning to the blogosphere with full furce! I thought I would brag about some of the good things that have happened so far for me in 2014. ;)I started a new Zumba class Monday morning, so I will have a little more cushion in my pocket. *phew* Thank God.This started in 2013, but I taught 2 songs I arranged for the young adult ensemble I'm in. I love songwriting, and when there's a song that doesn't quite fit us, I'm glad to know I have the ability to make it fit. A guitar would make it fit even more, but none of us play. lol I have a prequel for my fantasy WIP that came about because it's an inciting subplot for my WIP, and I wanted to write it. I woke up yesterday at around 5am and couldn't get back to sleep for a little bit because ideas were popping into my head! This is the second story I've started where I've forced myself to not worry about writing A-B-C-D and just write what comes to me no matter where it goes in the story. It's extremely liberating. I have A, U, Y, and Z. I know the gist of the other letters, but those parts were so clear, I couldn't keep them in my head!So things are looking good so far, and I hope there is more joy to come for me, and for you. :D Song for the week: Jill Scott: "Golden"

Eventually you'll get the whole alphabet.
You're a songwriter? Very cool.
Sounds like your new year is off to a great start so far! So, so cool how you know how to write songs. Have fun with this new prequel idea of yours! :)
I love when ideas pop up in my head!!! For me, it's hard not to act on them when I'm on another project, so sometimes, I just give in and go with it. :D
You'll get it all! Good luck!
That's great that you can arrange the songs - I wish I had some musical talent.
Funny, I'm starting a Tai Chi class on Thursday. yay for a new year!
Thanks, sensei!!
Thanks, Heather! Can't wait for Echo to return. *wink*
