I Can’t Write Now; I’m Too Busy Doing the Peppermint Twist!

Standard

Mood: mellow

Music: Barbara Lewis “Make Me Your Baby” (via Real Oldies on iHeart Radio)

As I write this blog, I am sitting here in my favorite chair listening to Real Oldies on iHeart Radio yet again. Yes, I know those songs were before my time, but I still love the music. Brings me back to road trips as a kid listening to COOL 94.9 FM (Mom’s favorite station). I would give anything to have COOL 94.9 back. I LOVE TOM 94.9; don’t get me wrong. But COOL 94.9 could come back on another frequency. Anything is better than my Mom’s favorite station now which is Willie’s Roadhouse on Sirius or Watercolors occasionally. 50’s on 5 and 60’s on 6 are okay, but they lack the variety. But anyway….how did I get on this subject? Oh yeah. Real Oldies on iHeart Radio. Maybe I AM a real oldie for forgetting how may own tangents start.

I really need to start writing again. I pretty much quit back in February and March. I was writing the last book in my Perfect Strangers book series. And yes, I mean Perfect Strangers the 80’s/90’s TV show. For those who might be interested, go to http://oddpastychick.wordpress.com and check out the first 5 books and the beginning of the last one which is on hiatus. If I get enough buzz going on about it again, I might have enough motivation to start up again. Truth is, I was planning on writing PS stories more true to the actual TV show. And then I had an idea for a series of stories about a guy who leads a very….unusual life. But I don’t think he was too keen on the idea. I’ve always wanted to write stories either based on famous/semi-famous people I know or fan-fiction stories. That’s just how I roll. Ask me to write a book based on all fictional characters never known outside of my brain and I fall apart at the seams. But when the time comes to write now, whether it be old stories I haven’t finished or brand new PS stories, “something” always “comes up”. I need to catch up on my DVR, I’m too busy playing games on my iPad, or I just lack the giddy-up and go. So I am desperately seeking motivation as of late to get off my blessed assurance and start writing again. So, any and all praise, encouragement and/or hero worship is welcome.
