Writing Writing Writing

The trouble with trying to get back into writing is that you actually have to sit down and write. Imagine that, having to practice something to get better at it. Ridiculous is what it is. I have been inspired recently to see what some of my favorite writers have to say about writing. Turns out they all say the same thing. Just start writing. Write as often as you can. Anne Rice also suggests watching movies that inspire you to tell stories, so I might attempt something like that tonight.

Some people suggest just trying to get words on to a page, I rather like that idea but then I fear I would fill the page with nonsense and rambling. Maybe rambling is okay, maybe rambling is my style?

I just took a break to work on a writing prompt, my goal was to get to 500 words but that was actually pretty difficult. I stopped somewhere near 470.

It's funny, when I was younger I thought writing would be easy, this is probably do to the fact that I used to focus more on writing than my school work. Maybe writing is similar to food in the respect. I can't seem to devote myself to both. Each demands all of my time, all of my heart and all of my attention.

I'm rather excited because my husband and I have reservations for San Diego Restaurant Week. Each year it seems to sneak pass me but this year I actually have a reservation! It's always exciting, going somewhere you haven't eaten before. The best part? Dessert is included!

Speaking of dessert I'm very fortunate that my chef allows me to basically do whatever I want  because I'm absolutely in love with my Mocha Bar. It is a white chocolate mousse and espresso bavarois which sit on a gluten free fudge cake. Coffee and chocolate? Doesn't get any better than that. My coworker and I came up with it completely on a whim, which is pretty funny to us because there are not enough hours in the day but when it comes to dreaming up new sweet things we can almost always find the time.
