So, I've come to this page many times over the last several weeks, but I find myself staring at a blank screen, unsure what to write, if I even can write. Life has become so backwards... What began as a casual relationship became something so incredible I thought nothing could ever come between us; and now, he is sick, and I'm stuck here unable to ( Read more... )

In the dawn, the tree is waking. It stretches like a cat

and throws itself as a maiden at the feet of her lover

toward the sun’s golden rays. It does not know

the sun has problems of its own and cannot undertake

a great journey of self discovery for the tree, nor does it care

its advances go unnoticed in the sea of forest around it.

It's 7 AM, and I've already made breakfast, fed the dog, cleaned the kitchen, and am just enjoying a bit of coffee before heading off to the shower. I never, ever thought I would be a morning person... I don't think I am in reality now, but with a dog that wakes me at 6 AM sharp every morning and a boy that is awake when I return, there's very ( Read more... )

There have been many things on my mind lately. It's incredible how much of the world we come to understand when we look to the past.

...It's hard to believe two months have passed since I last posted here. I've been meaning to update this for a long time, but my little one has discovered that fussing instantly gets my attention, so I've had very little down time of late. November was entirely more than I'd bargained for, and December came in at a close second, but I wouldn't ( Read more... )

I've decided to participate in National Novel Writing Month this year, with a plot that I came up with in little less than a week! I have no delusions (but perhaps just the tiniest flicker of hope) that I'll complete the 50,000 word quota, but hopefully it will give my writing the much needed kick in the pants it's been begging for since last ( Read more... )

Halloween has always bothered me. It's the one holiday all year that nowadays has no positive message. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Independence Day... They all carry a sense of making the world a better place and loving your fellow man. But not Halloween. October 31st is when ghosts and ghouls come out, when ( Read more... )

A compilation of the best advice I've ever received:

Never date someone you wouldn't want to fall in love with.
Never enter into a relationship with someone you wouldn't want to dump.
Never sleep with someone you wouldn't want to have a child with.
When in doubt, ask yourself, "Will I regret this later?"
