A Little Bit of Creative Can Go a Long Way

This morning it was a hard to make anything stick. My plan was to better organize all the research I did Monday and get a couple articles out. But I got sidetracked by my beads.

 I've been making jewelry lately, nothing fancy, just simple stuff. For years I've rarely worn jewelry because I'm allergic to cheap metal and I can't afford "good stuff." I had planned to take a break from writing for Helium, but then I got to wondering if there was an "empty title" (Helium gives bonuses for writing on a title no one has written on before) about jewelry making. Sure enough, there was a title about finding free beading patterns. So I wrote that, and made a couple necklaces, and started a draft on another article-- and perhaps most amazingly, I cleaned a whole bunch in my kitchen while watching Glee and NCIS at the same time -- and it didn't even feel like drudgery. Weird. But now I am tired, so sleep is next. Tomorrow will be good.
