“My future starts when I wake up every morning.” -Miles Davis. The brilliant miss rosen posted this quote on her blog a while ago, and I had to swipe it for my own, because I’m kind of in love with it. For a while now, mornings have easily become my favorite part of the day.…

Have you ever gotten caught up in a whirlwind of activities and then, finally, when the wind stopped and the dust settled, you were left standing there, not sure what to do with yourself without that driving force of chaos propelling you in every direction at breakneck speed?

Today rounds out the last day of my personal little writer’s mini-workshop, on account of having three days in a row off from my regular, paying occupation.
