I was building a resume over at www.indianacareerconnect.com (a job board for ppl in Indiana) and they had lists of categories for your skill. For example: one category was "entertainment and media" and that had a huge list of skills beneath it. You click the box next to the things you've done whether they were in a professional setting or not.

I'm sure you all know that my dream job is as a writer. I want to make my living writing novels and spinning stories. Writing an article here and there wouldn't be such a bad thing either.

I am determined that someday I will have this job. If I have to have a small part time job on the side to make ends meet that's fine. But someday my main source ( Read more... )

Last night was a simple night. I stayed in and did nothing. Ok that's not entirely true. I broke up a cat right, finished a book, watched Ice Princess, and chatted with Angelo. But that all counts as nothing because it was quite relazing...except the cat fight.

I've been seriously lacking in motivation lately. Not on the job front, that's all going ( Read more... )

Here's my conundrum people: I have two stories going right now. This is not unusual for me, actually is highly USUAL. The problem is, I'm having trouble listening to some of the characters. My two stories are thus:

The problem is that, though I'm definitely enjoying working on the second story, Arabella and Sadie keep tugging at me to return to them ( Read more... )

Every morning when I wake I reach over, pull back my curtain just a sliver, and thank the Goddess for the beautiful new day. This is my way to start the day off right. However lately, despite my morning ritual, I have been feeling disconnected from my spirituality. Let me rephrase that...not necessarily disconnected but not FULLY connected, ya know ( Read more... )

If you've ever read any of my fiction work then you know the topic of sexuality comes up in almost every single one of my stories. I'm not talking about someone coming out to their friends and/or family as gay or bisexual. I'm talking about someone in the book having gay tendencies, being bisexual, or being gay/lesbian. This does seem to be a big ( Read more... )

This weekend was quite enjoyable. Things didn't go quite as planned but it was still enjoyable. Friday I headed up to Carmel for Carmel Fest and enjoyed walking around there for a bit. I wanted to get some Henna done but didn't want to wait forever for it. Plus, if I have any jobs interviews, I don't think tats (even if they are temporary) would be ( Read more... )

I...love being a writer. For the past few weeks I've instituted weekly writing times. Essentially it's where I do nothing but write for one hour everyday. Or work on characters. Or outline stories. Anything that has to do with my current writing projects. The drive to write and create art through words lately is almost overwhelming ( Read more... )

Great Goddess these past few days have just been filled with ideas for poems, stories, even songs!!! I haven't written songs since I was in high school!

The only thing I can think it could be is the Brighid mediation I did a few days back. She's been a matron of mine for a long time but, I hadn't really honored her like I should for a long time. ( Read more... )

Was reading through the Spring issue of Faerie Magazine yesterday and came across an article on the tale of "Beauty and the Beast". I didn't know how many times that story had been reworked! I only knew of the Disney version but I'm eager to explore the others now.

Anyway the thought came into my head of: What if 'Belle' were the beast? In other ( Read more... )
