Book of D: Writing Prompts

I am in dire need of a writing prompt generator. It's not that I don't have ideas, it's more like I have way too many of them. It's similar to having too many clothes: it becomes cumbersome to pick out an outfit because you are bowled over with too many choices. The same goes for writing: I have way too many ideas. I love to write, and I seldom lack the inspiration to do so, but I usually get overwhelmed and end up not writing anything formal at all. My ideas and thoughts might instead get scribbled on a piece of paper or on a yellow "Post It," which then reminds me of Romy and Michelle - and off on a super tangent I go. But not like super Pangea. LOL. Stupid geology joke. And, I start adding superflous data to my original thoughts. Ughhh. It's so frustrating. Word!!! So ... If anyone out there who reads this blog has any ideas on a writing prompt generator, please share. I like reading Julia Cameron's The Artisit's Way, which is filled with many a writing prompt, so perhaps I will start there and instead of putting pen to paper, I will put keystrokes to digital media - or whatever the comparison of "pen to paper" might be. See there: another freakin' tangent.

Book of D: The Much Too Excited Insomniac

I return to my campus job on Monday. In a few hours, that is. I am so excited that sleep escapes me. Soon, we will be moving to a brand new location at the Student Activity Center (SAC), so I am looking forward to decorating it. But, until then, I am anxious to take some of the graduation gifts I was given to my current office at the Falcon Center (MB-FC). 

I must say that I am so grateful for my current job/career path. I have an outstanding support group and supervisor at the university. I have been allowed to telecommute for several months for various reasons. But, now that my grad school career is at a standstill (only because I am not sure when I will start working on a PhD), I am going to pay-it-back, per se, and devote my free time to the U. 

To boot, I have been given a promotion of sorts with a higher salary. Getting a salary boost is customary at the university level for staff members upon completion of a bachelor's/master's degree. My usual duties will now be accompanied by new ones regarding student insurance information (+ HIPPA), title IX cases, student conduct (+ FERPA), and liaison for the three counseling departments on campus. Those clinics include the general counseling clinic that serves only the student population, the practicum clinic for the counseling graduate program that serves the public, and the practicum clinic for the psychology graduate program that also serves the public. 

Falcons Up, y'all. Loud, proud alumna!
