Even now I look at them all the time, I just don’t buy them as I don’t wear that much makeup anymore. As for writing, I’m trying to make my current WIP sparkle but it looks like an overly made up drag queen instead.Angelina Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953868243120764347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049806523867335071.post-90985434937021810182011-03-07T05:54:00.997-08:002011-03-07T05:54:00.997-08:00I didn't run, but I promise, there is no spark...I didn't run, but I promise, there is no sparkling makeup in my writing.

I confess to being a closeted girly-girl - I'm not REALLY, but every now and then I adore playing around with anything glittery and sparkly, and that present would have made me all giggly and happy! <br /><br />As for the writing, though, I feel few sparks at the moment. It actually feels much more like I'm trying to get ready for a big first date, and I'm not sure whether the guy likes it subtle or sparkly.

Perhaps if I approach it with the idea of experimentation (with my outline to keep me afloat) it could be fun instead of holy-cow-terrifying-what-if-I-DIE. Thanks for your post Jennie B., I really needed the reminder that writing is supposed to be fun, it's so easily forgotten when you're focused on getting everything perfect first time!<br />- Sophia.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926811798176739307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049806523867335071.post-24495274527937468752011-03-07T01:53:48.651-08:002011-03-07T01:53:48.651-08:00WOOT WOOT for makeup references in terms of writin...WOOT WOOT for makeup references in terms of writing. I LOVE playing with makeup. I LOVE playing with my writing too. Some times things work and some times they don't but I really like the experimenting process. <br /><br />This is a great comparison. <br /><br />I wear matte makeup so much less than sparkles (or shimmery). I just like knowing I'm sparkling. <br /><br />I don't have time to write anything but essays right now...and those aren't sparkling (no matter how much you scrub concrete....it don't sparkle!)<br /><br />But I am glad you're sparkling right now!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096764010151024050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049806523867335071.post-40854579974873693232011-03-07T00:53:03.654-08:002011-03-07T00:53:03.654-08:00You had me at Sephora!

Same goes for my work - a lot of days are hit and miss. Sometimes a subplot seems like it's working, but it doesn't. <br /><br />Right now, I'm sparkling. Which makes me happy, because last week it was all about the pain!Jennifer Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783975547643539868noreply@blogger.com
