I've lost my marbles...

Okay, so it's not really a marble, but it's close enough. This is a photo I took this afternoon of my favourite glass paperweight (actually, it's my only glass paperweight... but whatever).

I've photographed this paperweight before (and even done paintings of it), but this is the best result so far.

When I look at this orb I feel inspired to create. It helps jump start my imagination. I keep it in a place of honour, on my writing desk, and stare at it whenever I need help focusing.

I haven't had a chance to organize my novel notes yet. I'll get to it once I publish this post. It's a daunting task, but it must be done! I'm determined to make miracles happen this year!

My writing goals for this winter are to finish my Alice in Wonderland fanfiction, and to begin writing my novel, for real.

Writing a novel has been a major goal of mine since a very young age, and now I think I'm ready to commit to the challenge! It's all part of my "save yourself" mantra. I want to reach this goal, and I am the only person standing in my way!

The only trouble is deciding which idea to go with first. I have at least three novel ideas stuck in my head, begging to be released. I'm gonna start weighing my options tonight!

Will it be the supernatural disaster story, the fantasy/thriller, or the teen comedy? I have no idea!
