I finally went to the gym today. Walking on the treadmill...listening to my motivation playlist...it was good. I felt the change, the one I've been wanting. It's going to take some motivation and hard work...but I think the first step is always the most difficult. Now, I just need to keep up with the change. I need to evolve with it. I'm ready. So ( Read more... )

Soon I will start work and all will be well. Until then, I rack my brain trying to find a muse, not just for writing but for life. What is it that makes me happy? Still not sure. I think that's the most honest I've been with myself in a while. There are the obvious answers...family, friends, puppy. However much I love these aspects of my life, they ( Read more... )

As soon as I settle on a plan, an idea, something blocks my way. I need to save money. I want to move to the coast for a few months....or something. I need a change, but I don't want to leave Whitefish. So, my plan is set. However, for this to happen, I need money to do it. To get money, I need a job. I have a job, an amazing job. But, mother ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I start work. As usual, I feel as though I've done nothing productive on my time off. This is the reason I'm disliking the seasonal work. I have all these plans to better myself. I always find something great to do during my time off. Yet, I always come to the end unfulfilled. I did not do what I set out to do. I feel like I have failed ( Read more... )

I just had a delightful time with my family for Thanksgiving. Yes, I missed some key players (the brothers), but we still managed to make it familiar. I took a break from writing. I think it helped. I'm ready to bust out a manuscript. I really want to be known as a writer. To do this, I must actually write. So, on to number five ( Read more... )

Waiting for my car. Yay for studded tires in the winter in Montana. I'm sitting in the Starbucks at Safeway. I don't like Starbuck, but it is close and a coffee shop and I can sit for a while. So, why not write? Here's number four in my question series ( Read more... )

So I'm on day three of my 50 questions and have discovered another part of this site....they are currently on question 680-something. So I have some catching up to do. This also means, I have something to think about when these questions are finished. Just because the solution period ends, doesn't mean things are resolved. On to question three ( Read more... )

The second question of my little experiment has me feeling bad again. I feel guilty because I know the "right" answer. I know how I'm supposed to answer this even if I'm pretending...then I'm supposed to walk away from it thinking about my real answer. I'd contemplate what it would be like if I could say the "right" answer...truthfully. Then, I ( Read more... )

I found a fascinating website while "stumbling" through the internet world. (It's amazing how stumbling will soon replace googling. Yet, stumbling is an actual word and googling is still underlined with red squiggles as I type.) This website has a list of fifty questions to motivate or inspire or what have you. The questions definitely inspired me ( Read more... )
