Misty Mornings or Nebulous Nights?

"Day vs. Night" by TangYauHoong via foter.com

I want to be a Morning Lark. I read this beautiful post on writing in the morning and it inspired me to try (again) to set my alarm for crazy o'clock and try this morning writing thing. 

It sounds so artsy, so sophisticated. I love this idea of writing in the morning when everyone is still caught up in their pre-dawn dreams and the world holds its breath waiting for the sun to rise. I love the idea of writing in this dim, gray stillness and quiet. 

So I set the alarm every night for weeks, sure of my intention to get up and work before BoyChild wakes. I anticipate the relief and gratification of spending my days knowing I'd already written my words.

One Lovely Blog Award

Bronzed award from Cassandra Page's blog

Wow. I'm excited and humbled by Amber A Bardan's nomination for this One Lovely Blog Award. It's especially flattering because it's an award given to writers by other writers (blush). Thank you, Amber!

It's much like a blog hop in that I was tagged, I must tell you seven random things about me, then I'm to tag seven other writers.

Back in March, 2012 I wrote a 5 Random Things About Me blog post. Though it was tempting, I did not duplicate any of those things here.
