The subject for today is stress:

~Danzae Pace
Don’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.

The WIP is coming along and it’s cool to see the way the story is coalescing. I enjoy writing the first draft, but I’m finding the revisions process fascinating. I started researching during the earlier drafts and am still doing that as I revise. The serendipitous discoveries can sometimes create more work, i.e. changing aspects of certain scenes, and yet I can see how those changes are benefiting the WIP. 
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! 
The subject for today is art:
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
~Pablo Picasso
Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.
~Stella Adler
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.
~Isaac Bashevis Singer

The Emmys are on this Sunday and three of my favorite shows, Ugly Betty, Heroes, and Grey’s Anatomy, have a slew of nominations between them. 
It’s going to be fun cheering them on. Which show or shows will you be rooting for Sunday night?
Have a great weekend, everyone!
| You Are a Mermaid |
 You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you’re flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you’ll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational. You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else. |
