Full of Ideas

In the last year or so - or two - I've had some concepts for creative projects I hope to explore. Ideas for writing, for creating, for learning, for selling, and for teaching. But none of these projects has had the opportunity to expand enough for me to know whether they are good concepts or not (or how to improve them).

In all my adult life I've been in school, and working part-time. This means that the majority of my time was spent developing my good ideas (i.e. in academic projects and similar pursuits). The unique stage I'm at now is that I'm no longer in school, so I'm able to conceptualize projects I didn't have the brain-power for before. Concurrent with this, however, is that I now have to work full-time.

I have ideas for a line of stationery. For a novel about rejection. For a business teaching young wives things their mothers did not. For learning all about clay-working and tiles.

But these days I'm very much in love with my husband, and spend a lot of my spare time choosing to be with him, and not wrapped up in creative endeavors. Anything I may take-one creatively is more along the lines of being a "home-making" project. Something that demonstrates my love for my husband.

So it's sort of frustrating, having a free mind and no free time.
