Lethal Poison And The Scorpion

The title sounds slightly gruesome (I'm a writer who, up until a few weeks ago, was researching serial killers. Leave me alone, okay? LOL.), but it is merely a reference for people who've known me my entire career, or at the very least, a good enough chunk of it, and know what to expect from … Continue reading Lethal Poison And The Scorpion

I’ve Got Nothing!

I wish I had a dose of wisdom to bestow upon you today, but I don't. I wish I had something to give that somehow made even just one person's day brighter or easier, but I've got nothing. I am all out of poignancy at the moment. 😦 The thought is disheartening, to say the … Continue reading I’ve Got Nothing!

Here’s What I’ve Learned

2015 has been many things for me, but it's hard, at the moment, to say it's been kind. That would be a lie. Granted, there are pluses and minuses to every day, week, month, and year. It hasn't all been bad, but it's been hard times a million. We've all experienced this in some capacity … Continue reading Here’s What I’ve Learned

How Honest Are People About Their Mental Health? This Might Surprise You…

Facebook needs to institute a better policy involving "friending". Even with strict filtering, I have people sending me friend requests simply because they like something I've said. Why in the world would you want to be "friends" with someone who is simply the same astrological sign as you, or just happens to also be a … Continue reading How Honest Are People About Their Mental Health?

In Some Situations

In some situations, you are the problem. In others, you are the problem solver. In the last week, I have been both the problem and the problem solver, but I’m proud of myself because I found a way around the problems and managed to solve them without losing my cool, yelling, screaming, or “unleashing the … Continue reading In Some Situations

Freelance Doesn’t Mean Free

Some days, I am utterly appalled by the audacity of others. There is a fine line between offering to help someone as a form of empowering another woman, and then dealing with the opposite side of the coin where someone wants you to do a job, but then wants you to lower your rate. When … Continue reading Freelance Doesn’t Mean Free

Grey Days

Waking up this morning, you never would have known it was 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday. It's so dark out that even though rain was not predicted, I suspect it is getting close. That's okay, because I like the grey days. A 'grey day' for most people might mean depression, but for me, it tends … Continue reading Grey Days
