For me, music has always been a big part of the writing process. It’s rare that I write without headphones on. If you’re like me, what kind of music or, more specifically, what musical artists inspire you to write?

I could answer this question a million different ways. But, the music that inspired me to ask this question was that of Simon and Garfunkel! I’ve heard it all a million times, yet a quick listen this weekend gave me so many new ideas.

For years I’ve been mulling over the idea of opening my own cafe & bakery. I think about this a lot actually. Ever since I was little I’ve loved baking. When I was little, I used to help my grandmother make biscuits in her kitchen. I’d stand on a chair watching as she rolled out the dough on the counter top. Then she’d hand me a small glass and tell me to press the glass down into the dough and rotate it. So I followed her instructions and voila, a perfectly round biscuit. From biscuits I moved onto cookies and eventually onto tiramisu. I still remember each Christmas sitting around in the kitchen with my sister, mixing and scooping out dough. These are some of my fondest memories.

I still have that love for baking. But I don’t know that I can actually achieve the goal of owning my own shop. I’ve talked this over with one of my roommates before, Amaris. I love her so much. She suggested that we open one together. But in her suggestion, she added a twist. Not just a bakery, but a cafe. I mean I can’t believe that I didn’t think of this beforehand. A bakery without coffee? No way. We planned out our responsibilities; I would bake the goods and she would make the coffee. I highly suspect that we’d both end up baking, but the point is that I’ve always loved that idea. I can see myself owning a little shop somewhere in a small town, serving homemade sweets to those who share my love of baked goods.

While I know that it may not happen, I still hold that as my one aspiration, one thing that I’ve always wanted to do.
