Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

            So I have my first appointment with the dentist today, and for some reason, I’m not nervous. I know that in the next hour I won’t be able to feel half of my face, and that I will have holes drilled into my teeth, but for some reason, I’m not trippen! LOL!! Well, we’ll see what happens when I walk the Green mile to get there. But this is just the first appointment of many. Just a word of advice, don’t wait 12 years to go to the dentist and use dental floss. Oh man. This is a no tanto mucho moment if I ever heard of one.

            But anyway, in other news, in my quest for spiritual balance, I have decided to actually live by my quote of the day “Don’t mistake activity with productivity and really start to scale back. The weather is starting to get cooler, which means that I will be spending a lot more time in doors, so now is the time to focus. For real this time. My career as a writer has really been put on hold, for various reasons, and to be perfectly honest, I have been itching to fall back in love with my characters, to start spewing out poems, to be inspired by literature again. But with the change in seasons, and the introduction of great new music, I feel a sudden surge of creativity that I need to tap into. I had to stop for a while because I was starting to get bored with my voice. As an artist, its really easy to become trapped in your style. Pretty soon, everything starts sounding the same and then you just need a break from yourself. I was going through that a few months ago, but I got over it. As much as I complain, I am a fan of the Fall, and I feel like this change in season, might be just what I need to cultivate the change in my voice. My goal is to have the first draft of this novel completed by the end of 2006. I have about three months and some change to finish it up. I think we can make that happen. Anyway, I’m off to get holes drilled into my teeth...Pray for me y’all!!
