I have the unnatural need to scratch those bright and shiny cars that someone had double parked in order to save them from the scratching. I feel like it would be a good thing for the owner to be desensitized to the possibility of, oh no, a dent or scratch on that loved machine. It would help them break their obsession and worry over it. Of course ( Read more... )

Eh, just hammered out this little short tonight. It didn't take more than a half an hour, and I didn't edit it, so pardon the roughness. Really I don't share my work often, but I need to change that for two reasons; I have to get used to people seeing my children if ever I'm to become an author, and Emma's on her last legs so I'm making sure ( Read more... )

I am very very surprised how quickly my time flies when I'm working on my stories. Seriously, I look up and it's four hours later than it was the last time I took a peek. Not even Warcraft has that kind of ability on me. I'm both surprised and very very happy at this. Wasting time in a productive way is the peak of lost time.

Rawr. I understand why it happens, and I even accept it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I feel I'm a passable editor and I am able to give helpful suggestions to another author. Yet when I try to do the same to my own works, I find that it's magical, perfect, without mistake. Obviously I can fix minor problems that I stumble across, but ( Read more... )

Ahhh, I've missed going to Tanglewood. I really do adore the classical music scene. And I am an enormous fan of Sergei Prokofiev, so I was thrilled to see they were preforming not only his famous Classical Symphony No. 1 in D, but the Violin Concerto No. 1 in D as well. Though I consider myself a great fan, I have never had the opportunity to ( Read more... )

I'm very proud to say i've finally finished my first long-term writing project of my own. It may not be very long or very impressive (nearly 14,000 words and 22 pages of a children's story) but it is my very own. I'm tremendously happy that I've done so, as this will be the first step in my writing career. I don't hold hope that anybody will ( Read more... )

Ah dreams. I've not had a very happy relationship with them for quite some time. They've always been one or more of the following: a happy dream that makes me sad when I realize it's just a dream, a disquieted peek into my psyche, or something that is relatively upsetting. Just the other night, I had a dream in the last example ( Read more... )

Eleven bloody weeks. That's a long time of silence, especially when it's a saw "aww, poor me" post. That's what I allowed to happen when my grandfather died. But silence doesn't do anything for anybody, so onward ( Read more... )
