This has been a busy week, to say the least! I finally received more yarn for a cardigan I am making. Seems none of the local yarn shops carry it, so I have to order it through the manufacturer and wait for it to come in the mail.
Writing wise, it has also been a busy week. I'm working on two short stories I am going to enter in a short story contest. I'm finished with one of them, and the other just needs some tweeking. Short stories are not my forte, but I'm learning. I have one manuscript I have been feverishly working on has almost 100 pages done. Whoo hoo!! Some days it flows like water, other days it comes slow as molassas!
My one tidbit, if you get writers block, work on something else for a while!
Happy writing! Happy knitting!

Week-end
It is a beautiful fallish like week-end. A great time to sit and write. I'm working on one manuscript in particular quite fevorishly, trying to finish it. I usually try to devote several hours a day to writing, but today, with the weather, it is quite inspriational as my story timeline is going into fall (quite by accident).
What do you do if you get "writers block" and can't continue? I found by keeping more than one manuscript going I can move to another if the one I'm working on stumps me. That way I've always got something to work on, so I can continue the process.
As for my other projects, knitting for one, I have started a beautiful sweater (cardigan) in a beautiful shade of light blue. I love the yarn! It's cotton with cashmere. Very easy to work with. . .
Enjoy the week-end!

Welcome!
Today is the first day of "Just Do It!" This is going to be a blog on creating, writing, and anything else we can do.
Creative: whether it be knitting, jewelry or writing, it will be posted here. I have been a knitter for years. I enjoy knitting and lerning new techniques. Right now I am working on a sleeveless top from Vogue Knitting, my first Vogue project.
Writing: I love to write. I've always written, but my life has never allowed me the time or opportunity to get serious about it. I'm at that point now, where I can be. Not being able to hold a regular job, writing is a way I can make extra money and keep myself sane. I now allow myself several hours a day to write. I have several manuscripts either finished or in progress. If I get stuck on one, I go to another, so I always have something to work on. From time to time I'll post a portion of something I'm working on.
I encourage comments, suggestions, etc. This is a way to interact with other writers and creaters
