surfing

i've spent the morning surfing the internet looking for inspiration...for things to keep my creative juices flowing. the problem is i am looking for someone or something to tell me exactly what to do...like write this novel or use this photographic theme...which is not really being creative at all. i did however, stumble upon some interesting sites that i had not visited before including frenchtoastgirl and oneword, which i found to be stimulating. i really enjoyed frenchtoastgirls "snippets" which were pieces of ideas and dreams that had the potential for elaboration but were not ripe yet. i also like her list of things she'd like to accomplish....mostly just cuz i like lists and to peek at other peoples lists to see if i am missing anything!! i have been blessed with a couple of months free from work and rent payments and i would really like to do something with my time...something significant...something that requires the use of this time. of course when i was working full time with rarely a moment to think i actually had quite a few ideas...i should look through my journals for past inspirations and ideas! so i am off to the library to return some books and maybe pick up julia camerons the artists way...its at the main boston public library and i havent been there yet....it supposed to be beautiful...and it is overcast today with the threat of rain...the perfect indoor activity.
