Last couple of days I have been drinking loads of coffee just to keep going. This is my third week of traveling back and forth from Nashville. No time for book or painting. Just driving and rehearsing. This time a friend of mine is riding with me so, company is good. I hope this time I can remember the code to get into the tower. Last week was something else. I found a neat carry on bag at the local mall. I will be out of town again for the next 2 weeks. Today I picked up some travel size bottles. Its easier packing those, they don't take up much room. I cleaned on my house this week. I knew that I won't be here much the next couple of weeks. Just left my suitcase where it sitting. I think I will take my new writing book with me and camera. I love digital cameras , you never haft to mess with film. The weather is going to be bad, rain, but we need rain. we are in a drought here. I finally bought me a little travel pillow and portable dvd player. Hopefully I will get some quite time. I met some really nice people last time I was there and didn't get stuck in any traffic jams. I never thought I would see the day I would be drinking coffee, now I look for other kinds and flavor.

I have not been able to write on my book at all. I have
had several ideas to add but had to write them down so I will remember it later. Its been a busy week. Most of this week I have been in Nashville. The weather was pretty good for driving. It has been extremely dry here but today we did get a little rain. I am a little sad I had a really good dream and did not write it down and now I cannot remember the idea for my book. I am finding it hard to know exactly where to put some of the story sections. Do I let there be flashbacks in my story or
let the story progress to the points? I have went out around Halloween looking for events to write about and so far they have been useful. This week things will slow down until Saturday so I will have time to write and its going to rain so, good writing weather. I am thinking about creating new names for my lead character. Don't know yet. I am completed a computer game a few days ago and part of the game had names of the ancestors from years ago I really liked. In fact we are having a thunderstorm right now, perfect weather, i think I will stay up and write.

I went to the Nobels book store and lost time for hours, looking. Borders, Nobels, Books A Million haft to be my favorite stores. i just wished I lived closer to them. Each store is about a hour away. I found some neat little books that you can paste your stories and pictures in. They were made out of bamboo and beautiful asian materials. I wanted to buy them all. Maybe i will get to go back soon. These book stores are like my hiding place. All the ideas and different categories. I never seem to get to stay as long as I would like. Wish they had a hotel near this place. I forgot to add the books I bought were Utopia, Managing Stress, a book on Feng Shui, Travel Europe magazine, thought about buying the book called Living with your Neurotic Dog but didn't
