I want to become a published author of many, many books, and own my own small public library. I want to build it from the ground up, and have a cute little cafe attached to it, as well. It's going to be a cozy little place, not overwhelming. The main community library can be the place for main research, mine will be a place of wonder and imagination. This is still several years out, but I'm on my way to learning all I need to know. I've applied for a Master's in Library Sciences, and so the journey continues.

It's only been a week since I started on this story, and I've been really consistent about writing in it or at least exploring the story ideas and characters every day. I missed maybe one day, but that was semi on purpose since it was Sunday. Anyhow, I've run into my first state of writer's block...

So, with all the craziness of feeling like I was running out of money, searching for a new job, getting a new roommate, and then finally getting the new job and starting with all the new things, my brain had no room to be creative. It had no energy to do so as all of the energy was spent elsewhere, just trying to survive.

Today, I had a day off from work. I've been working nearly every day, minus Sundays, for a couple of weeks, and it gets to be a little exhausting. I needed a break, so I was really grateful when my manager reached out and said I could have today off. I spent it mostly watching YouTube videos :PBut, I also used it for cleaning. I vacuumed the stairs, hallway, and my room. It was really great! I love the look and feel of freshly vacuumed carpet <3 I also folded and put away laundry (a task that needed to be done many weeks in a row, but hey, as long as they're clean, it's probably okay if they just sit in a pile for a bit...

I had a dream... I was wearing a large apple as a shirt near the end of it, and when I woke, my thoughts were, "That was weird." But then I kept thinking and went from apple shirt to fruit leather, and then leather for clothes... so fruit clothes, so what if fairies wore clothes made of fruit leather? but fruit leather is too sticky and wouldn't last and would be prone to attracting bugs and mold and stuff... so then I was thinking is there a way to preserve it to make it work?

Thursday morning, I had an epiphany.

one foot at a time
