Death Valley's Little Brother




Today I went to my most inspiring and cherished cafe: Death Valleys Little Brother.

I pretty much always order a cafe latte. In the summer, it is chilled. In the winter, it is warm. Both are absolutely delicious and make me want to be a coffee drinker.

This afternoon, I was writing a journal too myself.. basically getting some thoughts down and out of my head. Planning a bit. Considering lots. You know, the usual. I wrote four pages.. here are some passages:

So, I am going to write a book......

I have not really written a book/story before, so am not really sure of the tone. Usually I write to sort out my mind's info, or to get down an understanding, or express a strong emotion. I guess it would be kind of like writing an assignment. Maybe I should make myself a rubric for it to give me some structure. There was that snowflake technique that I could borrow. Or I could just write and see what comes out.........

Am I going to make a book to write in? The nice thing about blank pages is that I don't need to worry about making mistakes and have them permanently with the writing. I could just get a file folder or use one that I have and decorate the cover. Maybe more advanced, I could include different topics in different file folders........

Okay, so in summary, the plan is, get a hand-crank-coffee-grinder, or just drink tea.. Save up for a reading chair. Make a corner space for my writing in the living room. Make a schedule I can stick to weekly, including reading, commonplace journalling, and writing time.

And that is what I did today, before going to work.
