Creative milkshake

The tree of creativty has really blossomed this season and when the tree was full of fruit I went out and picked an armful of fruit. I brought the fruit into my kitchen and let it ripen for a bit, but soon turned it into juice. I have been drinking this juice regularly...the creative juice sure is flowing. ;)

A friend and I are working on a comic. It started as an idea I had, but I knew that he likes to write and is an excellent drawer. I took it to him and told him that I had an idea but was pretty sure the only way I could present it was as a comic. I am not sure I can convey the images properly in print.

While we were talking he told me about a dream a friend of his had a long time ago, and the produced the second book I'm working on....it will be a children's book that I will write and illustrate and print. I plan on sending it to several people I know with children (my cousin is due in December and one of my friends just had her third, along with my mentors in Arizona who are planning on adopting another child). I drew up more characters yesterday, and now just need to mash out a story. We're thinking of plopping some of these characters into the comic book in the above mentioned paragraph.

A friend of mine started writing a story this summer and after reading it I became inspired to write a "fanfic" for it. We started working on this world that he had built together and I let him read what I have so far - he liked it. :) I told him how I saw things and how my character saw things and he is planning on using some of the terms I coined.

And that's pretty much it. I think I'm going to go and play the piano for a bit...it's been far too long since I sat down and played my version of Amazing Grace (Yes, I wrote another melody).

I should be sleeping

but instead I'm writing this....there's no work coming in at my job which means there's no money. I know God will provide, but I'm not sure how He plans on doing it...will it be work where I'm currently at or a new job? Will I have to move? If I start subbing and like it and it pays the bills but I get a job somewhere else which should I take? What if I get a job I don't really want and later a job I want opens up? What if I can't get any jobs? Will unemployment give me enough money to live? What if I can't get a job and unemployment runs out? Do I really have to move back in with my parents?

Those are just some questions bouncing around in my head :(
