Creative Juices

I have always loved the month of September. It’s magical to me. The weather was so beautiful I decided to open my bedroom window… to discover a lot of mold. Disgusted, I instantly went out and bought a bottle of bleach and promptly dumped most of it in my window sill. Then lit a candle so I could breathe.

Once the air cleared out a bit, I returned to wipe up the disaster still in my window. The weird part is, I enjoyed the experience. Don’t get me wrong, I was disgusted and loathed cleaning the mold out. So gross. However, it being September and magical, this damper on my day turned into a delight (mostly because it’s done and I’m not still in the sill).

First of all, I love how clean my ENTIRE room feels now. Of course, I had to clean the rest of my room, once I got going. Might as well, I’m disgusting anyways. And while I am terrible at starting this cleaning process, I love the results. It’s like a small miracle just occurred in my room and it looks and feels different.

Secondly, it’s suddenly easier to think without having all the clutter and junk and mold (*shudders*). I feel like I should have a dance party to celebrate, because I can. Please hold while dance party commences.

Lastly, I was amazed at how many words I came up with to say “gross.” I suddenly feel so prepared to get back to writing my next book now that I am prepared with adjectives!

Sounds like a win to me!! Who knew it would come from mold?
