I’m chilling in the garden with my coffee and I happened to check my instagram and saw Celina Spooky boo’s video about her book Hollow. She made it on the NY times best seller list! How cool and incredibly awesome for her! It made me smile to see her video today and I felt it deeply too. I’m actually writing a book myself, and I thought about all the late hours, the brainstorming, the research, the emotions, creativity, the coffee, and the love that goes into every single word and then more. I thought about everything that gets poured into these type of creative endeavors… when it’s done RIGHT that is! Then I thought about the moment she found out, how incredibly emotional she must’ve been and still is. I thought about what it would be like if that kind of thing happened to me with my book, and I would probably cry and be at a loss for words too. I would probably have a sea of “holy shit” and “what the fuck” spilling out of me as well! Then a small striped cat came out of nowhere running right in front of me and startled the fuck out of me! THANKS UNIVERSE. I looked it up and apparently striped cats symbolize good luck, prosperity, and comfort amongst some other cool things that spoke to me. I also noted that it was a smaller cat likely younger so that also resonates with my book journey because it too is very young and just beginning. Who knows what can or will happen with that, but I haven’t been writing it since December 23. That was the last time I jotted down some ideas that need to be organized now and expanded further upon. I say SOME but there was A LOT that day. I have SOOO much to work on with that and I guess I’ve been kinda putting it off. Which is fine, we need breaks from even our greatest passions sometimes to refresh and reset. It’s always cool to me to forget what I’ve written and then go back in and read it again with new eyes and then get inspired again by oneself. It’s SUCH a cool thing to be a writer AND an artist. Very beautiful moments and feelings…
Maybe I’ll go write my book today…I feel inspired and I’m getting cold outside now anyways. Time for a vibe change and a coffee refill!
