This month's ISWG question made me laugh. Here it is: If I ever stopped writing, what would I replace it with? Friends, I am so ridiculously busy, I wouldn't need to replace it with anything! I work 3 jobs, one of which is being the Executive Director of an orchestra. My to-do lists are a mile long!
But seriously, if I didn't write at all, I'd probably practice more for all the gigs I do. Music is my main creative outlet. I've thought about composing music. At the moment, there's zero time for that. So, I guess if I felt the need to create something new, I'd compose.
What about you?
And here's what's been happening in my world: Any guesses where this was taken?
Pleased you enjoy music as well as writing, I was brought up with music then found poetry writing after I was widowed.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and happy with you.
Yvonne.
Doing well. You're a great poet! I always enjoy reading your creations.
DeleteMusic is a great creative outlet. Unfortunately, I could never play (or compose - what horror!). I'm tone-deaf, can't hold a tune. But I enjoy listening, specifically to classical music. Classical music concerts are my favorite outings. I envy you your ability to create music.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great you have an appreciation for music! You're the reason we musicians have jobs. :)
DeleteHave you composed anything so far?
ReplyDeleteYou are a gifted musician as well as an author. Are you somewhere in Europe? Jeff. Https://fromarockyhillside.com
ReplyDeleteYes, I am. Paris!
DeleteWanted to mention, I still stop by your blog, but there's no place to comment. Looks like your Cumberland Island trip was fun! I'd like to visit there someday.
Delete'If you want something done, ask a busy person' seems to fit you to a tee:-)
ReplyDeleteTrue statement!
DeleteYou are just like me! Music is my creative life right now. I haven't written an original song yet, but maybe it's time we both stretched our wings and tried?
ReplyDeleteI think so! If you ever compose anything, I'd love to hear it.
DeleteI have a lot that would keep me busy too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'd do if I wasn't busy. Sitting around idle isn't for me.
DeleteThree jobs? Yikes, that's a lot. Yeah, not writing might take a load off for you.
ReplyDeleteYep. It's a lot. I'm always racing the clock. I love vacations, but inevitably, the stack of stuff to do is really high when I get back!
DeleteHi, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteGreat answer! I have never known anyone busier than you, dear friend. I admire your stamina, and you amaze me with your talent and success as an author and as a musician. I am reluctant to hazard a guess as to where your globetrotting has taken you most recently as seen in that video clip. Can I rule out Rattlesnake Gulch, Wyoming? :)
Thank you for visiting Shady's Place while I was away on break. I need you to know that this is goodbye for an even longer period. Mrs. Shady and I are moving more than 1,000 miles away from our current location and there is a tremendous amount of work to be done here in Florida and up there at our new home. I hope to resume blogging in November and look forward to reconnecting with you then. Have a safe and productive summer, dear friend Sherry!
I will certainly miss you for those months! Good luck with the move. I hope you're very happy with your new place. Moving isn't easy!
DeleteAnd yes, you can rule out Rattlesnake Gulch, Wyoming. :) Is that where you're going?

I like reading and writing....
ReplyDeletethe video is nice.... love the place.
Paris!
DeleteYou have your music, and I wonder if it isn't your *first* creative outlet. For me, I'd become a cat rescuer fulltime, cleaning litterboxes and herding cats. I'm only an amateur at it now.
ReplyDeleteI think music is my first creative outlet.
DeleteThat's so nice that you take care of cats. You seem like a very loving person. Those cats are lucky you came into their lives!
Not nearly as creative as you and certainly not at all musical. If there were more hours in the day I'd love to write a book ... if only for myself.
ReplyDeleteWas your photo taken somewhere in Greece?
Photo is from the top of Sacra Coeur in Paris, France.
DeleteI like that you have other creative things lined up.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I might try is painting. If only there were more of me...
DeleteI love listening to your music. From the links on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad people enjoying listening to my music.
DeleteYou are busy! Music is a great creative outlet. Currently I am spending a lot of time painting. Hmmm- not sure where the video was taken. Italy? ~Jess
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your creative art. You're so talented!
DeleteThe video is from Paris, France.
Beautiful blog
ReplyDeleteI love your answer because it shows the effort you make to work writing into your life.

Thank you! You know, honestly, it's the bloggers here that motivate me to stick with writing. You are all inspiring!
DeleteGah! I missed this post. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a very busy woman. I feel the same way with all the things I do. There'd always be something to fill in the time gaps.
I hear you! I'm glad you keep going with your writing. You're a talented lady!
DeleteJust a couple of months ago, I gave this relationship doctor Robinson buckler a try. It was my last hope to get my ex husband back.
ReplyDeleteWeeks before my ex left me and our 2 children, there were a lot of argument and fighting between me and him. On the day he left me, he told me that he doesn't think he loved me any more and this was not working. I was so devastated hearing this, I begged him not to go and I even promised that I would change. But he made up his mind already. He packed his bags and left our house.
I tried calling him and texting him to tell him I miss him and still love him. I asked him to give us another chance. He slowly stopped replying to my messages and stopped picking up my calls.
I then searched the internet on how to get ex back, and even bought a few products such as text your ex back and ex recovery system. Nothing worked, and my ex was still very cold towards me.
When I was about to give up, I found Robinson buckler ex back program. He is a relationship coach with a lot of success stories. I knew what I needed was not a book but a coach to guide me how to make my ex fall in love with me again. I immediately signed up for his program.
In the first couple of days, I made a lot of good progress. I am happier and more confident. My ex saw the positive changes in me, and started to talk to me more and even asked me out for dates.
Fast forward two weeks later, my ex told me that he wants to give our relationship a second try. I was beyond happy when I heard that.
Now, we are closer and happier together. It would not have happened without Robinson buckler help.
