Full Circle

Posted by monicacollier on Jul 5, 2009 in General

Another July fourth has passed. This year is much different for me. I don’t feel as though part of me is missing. I am happy- emotionally and whole.

I was reminded last night that I am an ordained minister and that I have a purpose. It’s not about me. I need to be using the gifts God gave me to bless others. Afterall, that is why we have talents, financial freedom, and ability to share and to bless.

I went on an almost seven miler today on the Greenway to clear out my head. Part of me is changed forever, part of me is the same. I just had to find her again.

Someone I went to high school with has contacted me. I am to go out on his boat one day with him. It promises to be amusing and of course, entertaining.

I saw my muse for writing Noah Wheaton today in a commercial for wildlife preservation. None other than Noah Wyle himself- and might I add, he’s looking good. He seems to be like fine wine, just better with age. He’s so talented and intelligent. I wish him well with the new series on TNT.

Unbecoming has been taking a hit today with my thoughts. Kissing Hollywood is where my heart is and making it rather difficult to finish Unbecoming. I need a good dose of David James Elliott. Now where are my JAG discs?

Feel The Burn

Posted by monicacollier on Jul 1, 2009 in General

I logged about 5.6 miles today on the Greenway. That felt good. My feet don’t even ache. I suppose I will see how they feel tomorrow.

My mind keeps playing tricks on me. I have scenes in my head for Caroline and David, in Unbecoming, that are playing against a tune- Muse’s Super Massive Blackhole. And then I’ll be doing dishes, or something completely arbitrary and a line or thought for Kissing Hollywood comes out of nowhere. I have no trouble keeping the two projects separate because they are entirely different. But I feel like I am living a true dichotomy, or I’m suffering from a split personality.

Perhaps I should just sleep more.

Whew!

Posted by monicacollier on Jun 25, 2009 in General, Unbecoming, Unwritten

I ran today! I haven’t done that in so long. It cleared my head and made me objective to writing again. I need to stay motivated. I found so much inspiration for Unwritten on the Greenway in Franklin. I worked through plot problems and founds ideas. I know I will do the same with Unbecoming.
