She sits, legs crossed and netbook propped precariously in her lap, and she sighs, closing her eyes for a moment. Her brain is moving a mile a minute, trying to piece together the story in her head while also trying to coax the words to write themselves.

It isn't working. )

Thanks. :)

I figured, if the Idol world is going to get to know me, they're going to have to get to know the most important players in my life, right now. Which includes the three other adults I live with, and my child.

Of course, all of the events presented above are real and this is the closest, most accurate representation of my current life. But I hate talking about myself -- but I can write about myself, lol.

Love the story format. I felt like being walked through a few days of your life provided more insight than a list format might have done.

Thank you. :)

The list format just wouldn't have done any of these individuals, or myself, justice. Especially since there's a lot of chaos in my life and I'm still figuring out who I really am. <3

I think we all are. Some are just more courageous to admit it. Looking forward to seeing more of your writing.

Thanks. :) And I think you're right -- we're all just at different places within the chaos. :)

Yeah, I uh -- didn't intend for it to be so long. D: I was aiming for 500ish words and ended up at more than double that, woops. But I'm glad they were compelling. :)

I am so very fond of tiny computers, but alas, Bob and electronics do not mix. I hope to find one that can withstand my clumsiness and Bob's lack of awareness, some day. :)
