Yay,
I can’t tell you how much my mood has changed in the last twenty minutes. I just got some exciting news.

But first… I’d been deeply inspired to creative thinking once again since the crafts fair. Not only do I look at many of the crafts and think, I want to try that, but many of them get me thinking, I can do that. Still others get my mind thinking about what I could do if I did this or that slightly differently, combined two unrelated ideas ect.

I always walk out of that fair with a mind that has been kick started with ideas. But that doesn’t always mean much. As this past day or two can show, I may be inspired and come up with gobs of ideas and still face the trouble of the current of inspiration failing to jump the gap towards action. It’s sort of like a conscious marionette with cut strings. I talked with a friend at a local group get together Monday night and that helped me a bit to overcome the inertia holding me still. But still for some reason the momentum was failing to build.

That’s where the last twenty minutes come in to play. Apparently at least part of the problem was that I’d dumped some energy into several projects in a row and was getting little or no feedback to keep my motivation going. Well I just got word from one.

http://groups.google.com/group/mess-n-bot The message in a bottle project was sent on its way and I have heard the first answer to the call. You should be able to follow the link and see where it’s going from here. That’s a really great feeling.

Soon I think I will upload some images of the bottle I took the day before it left my hands, I might make a few buttons and t-shirts and such, that people could buy. You don’t have to but I think it would be cool. There are three more bottles to be sent on their way eventually.

Now If I could only figure out how to get my write-a-thon to gather a little more, it would be wonderful feedback and send me through a high in momentum that with my creative high should give me a month of achievements that will inspire me ever higher. (I feel like I’m making myself sound like a coin operated device that needs to be fed in order to do anything, which isn’t the case).

For those who are already participating in one of my projects, message in a bottle, write-a-thon, or anything else; feel free to visit my site and go into the folder to download a free hand drawn maze. They are samples of the material I will be releasing as an eBook some time during the next month. As always you are welcome to leave comments and feedback with me.

I’ll likely swing by here tomorrow but may not post again until Saturday. I’m in desperate need of time to tear through some of the projects I’ve let backlog in my fog since the end of the convention.

Until then, Take care of yourselves.
