pictures-forthcoming

I had a blog post all ready, then decided it was more of a personal post than a group blog post AND BESIDES, after spending the weekend cleaning/rearranging/sorting/filing/throwing away stuff from my “writer’s” Closet I found myself filled with a burning question.

What the hell do you do with the accumulated writer paraphernalia? You know…the research and book ideas you’ve accumulated over the years. Because I write mostly contemporaries, I have a lot of stuff on different cities, as well as research on BDSM, classes I’ve taken, articles I’ve printed out that interest me…you name it, it’s in there. And I can’t stand to throw any of it away especially sine most of it is on books I haven’t finished yet/will write in the (hopefully) Near Future.

I forgot the digital camera so when I get home I’ll upload some before an after pics of the closet……My two hour project ended up being a TWO DAY Project after I pulled a Michelle and didn’t have the right size shelves. I cried and pulled my hair and gnashed my teeth, teetering on the brink of inevitability–going back to Lowes to get the f*)(&*#g shelves cut.

*sigh*

I didn’t WANT to drive to Lowes–Target was four minutes closer to home! And besides…every girl needs a saw, right?

It took me all evening to charge that LOVELY PRECIOUS SAW and get that first shelf done, then fight with the stupid bracket but I did it (in between solitaire breaks and cleaning breaks). Then three holes in the wall later, I got the support thingy’s up in just the right spot because frankly I think they were made wrong but that’s another blog post. (LURVE that technical lingO) Then…THEN I spent from about 7 am to 5 last night CLEANING out the closet, putting stuff back where I wanted it and just admiring my handiwork.

So, how was your weekend?

MAUREEN is my winnAH!!!!!! Maureen email me at amie at amiestuart dot com with your address and I’ll get some books out to you. Stand by……..I’ve got LOTS more LOL
