Hello out there? Anyone still around? I just wanted to give a quick update on things going on in my life. (Plus I gave up Facebook, Twitter and Reddit for Lent so I'm fiending for online ( Read more... )

On Sunday I picked up my paper diary for the first time in a long time. I wrote for a couple hours about my writing. One of the things I concluded is that I need the emotional outlet of my diary. It's been in my life for almost 20 years as the first way I work out my problems. Having that initial emotional release really helped me open up. I began ( Read more... )

I feel like I should cry, but on one level I don't want to open those gates. On another, I know I'm just ridiculously tired. Crying isn't the proper response. It would just make me feel horrible. I guess this is how cranky babies feel ( Read more... )

It's been so long, LJ. I've just been so busy, and then my phone died, and then I meant to call you but I got caught up so you know how it is ( Read more... )

I've been writing more, which is good. I came up with an idea that will hopefully be a series of books that could possibly put my name on the map. obviously that's a streeeeeeeeetch, but who knows? I don't want to say what it is so much, because you know how I am, but I ran the idea by Courtney and Charmane and they both think it's a great idea. I' ( Read more... )

Foreword:This is a story I (unknowingly) re-tell via lj every 2 years or so. It's a situation that obviously still weighs heavy on my heart, and reminds me of who I am today. As I saddled up to relive this moment again and got that fire in my belly just like it was Christmas of '02 all over again, I realized that I need to do something with it. ( Read more... )

i had a dream that I kept killing a baby. not on purpose, but I would put him down and I would accidentally lay him on his face when the phone rang and he suffocated. but when I went to give him mouth to mouth, he took a deep breath and he was breathing on his own. Then another time he wasn't a baby, he was like, a robot, but the embodiment of the ( Read more... )

so the cards are on their way. Vistaprint was having a great special. All Premium cards were $1.99 for 250 and also for 500... I don't know why, but I went with 500. I didn't want to waste paper, lol. Anyway, they'll say Writer/Humorist. Thanks for the suggestions though, I REALLY debated on going with "wordsmith" because I felt it said so much, ( Read more... )

since finding paperbookswap.com, I could best be described as a book junkie. I acquire books, think about how I'll read them as quickly as possible then put them up on the swap. A couple of times, coworkers have given me books that they don't want anymore. Even though I know I don't want to read them, I take them just to put them up on the swap. ( Read more... )

i looooooooove that song by Daughtry. I hear it on the radio just about everyday and I've been meaning to download it at home, then I finally decided to find out who sang it today and I was just like, "DAMN this white boy is good." I wasn't into AI last season, but whenever I caught it, I would say, "this guy is going to be big." I really hope he ( Read more... )
