Writing on Writing- fun stationary and candle

 Writing about writing? I do enjoy this topic, really. I think about my younger self and when I truly started enjoying writing and creating stories. 

I was a daydreamer; my head was always in the clouds. But making stories and ideas go from my mind to my fingertips, then to the paper. Or from the pencil to paper or pen. The love for stationery also started around this time. 

I remember being about nine or ten years old. There was an ancient typewriter resting in my grandmother’s house, gathering gentle dust. Asking if I could take it home, then getting a yes was so exciting!! In my room, I set up a space on the floor where I listened first to the sound of the 'Smak-tape' when pressing down on the keys. Trying to keep my fingers over the keys properly was a true challenge. To this day, I don't type the way we were taught in school. BUT! I can type without looking down at the keys now, just a different form.

While my daughter and I were gone to Canmore Alberta. There is a sweet little book store there I just love to support! So I purchased a candle that says 'First Draft' and smells of coffee and vanilla. It sits on top of a pretty day planner for 2026. So this one will only be for my writing, where and when Ill be to get my writing done. Also what sense Ill be working on and or character development.

Kind thinking about finding a old planner to keep up the time line in my story world. What do you think???

THanks for reading friends!
