       Tick Tock, the blank page has been mocking. I believe, and this is the excuse I'm sticking too, is my thoughts are taking this week, as a vacation. You see, my thoughts will be working over time starting the 18th. These thoughts of mine have been put on notice that high levels of expectation and creativity are wholeheartedly expected starting the 18th.

       I'm going on a sabbatical. I'm tossing all pertinent items in my Tahoe starting Monday morning, and taking off. My children are going on a 10 day vacation with their Grandma and I'll be a free woman. So what should a person do when they find themselves with 10 days of no responsibility on their hands. Well, I suppose some would stay home and work. Maybe some would just bask in the glory of having a silent house. For me I see a huge reader board flashing "Adventure is in order."

       Think, Thelma and Louise, except I'll forgo the whole murder aspect. All right, and minus the sidekick. So it's Rebecca and Rebecca. Alone, driving across the states, stopping for random acts of writing, flyfishing and exploring. Destination unknown, time and place irrelevant. I am chomping at the bit tostart my adventure.

       10 days. Exactly how long I will be gone, alone and living up my ownmind and physical adventure. Ya, I'm strange like that.

       With that being said, my mind is tinkering with all sorts of writing topics and leisurely adding words to my novel without a lot of conviction this week. I've turned into a resting mush pile of thoughts. Then again, so is my assistant. The minute I told her she had to hold down my business for 10 days without me, she seemed to have taken a working break. So, I expect both my assistant and my brain to get working as soon as I leave the silhouette of the city in my exhaust fumes.

       All right, I've managed to coax the lazy into putting words on this page.
      
       There is a new journal taking up residence in our little nook. I personally think it's a wonderful idea. I can't count how many times I've run across a glorious entry someone has left in their journal, only to find no one has commented, or I think it needs extra special notice. This new journal will be a place to showcase a special entry you've done. or if you come across an entry that reaches out and grabs you, nominate it for special consideration!

It's a circus out there, one I'm most content to be a part of!
