Writers are a very different breed of artist. We create differently. We all have different “methods to our madness”, which, in my opinion, is a good thing. I have friends from all different professional walks of life, but I am drawn to the creative, unique, and quirky. I am drawn to well thought out opinions, … Continue reading After Midnight Musings

Another One Bites The Dust

At approximately 9:00 this morning, I submitted a completed, edited manuscript back to my current client. Ten days, four revisions, and I am DONE. I felt incredibly exhilarated by that. I think it is, by far, the fastest I have edited in a while, but factoring in that everyone gives me projects with different word … Continue reading Another One Bites The Dust

Self-Control

Miss Poison Anger, Honesty, Musings, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing , , , , , ,

Like most people, I have neighbors. The ones in question bought their home over a year after I did and then did an extensive remodel to the interior because the previous owner had allowed her kids to punch holes in the walls, etc., so they didn't move in until after it was finished. We were … Continue reading Self-Control

Retailers Should Really Be Ashamed Of Themselves October hadn’t even ended and the few stores I walked into were full of Christmas trees, decorations, candy, and “special, early shopper prices”. I hate this time of year. I don’t do Christmas. You will not find green & red anywhere in my home and you most certainly … Continue reading Retailers Should Really Be Ashamed Of Themselves

Readership has really grown a lot in the past month, so I wanted to say hello to all of the new people that have kindly followed, liked, and commented.

For about six years, I’ve diligently tried to work on my personal anger issues. It took me on an interesting journey. I learned so much about myself that I was a little astounded by the epiphany I had several months ago. During all of the time where I walked away from arguments and fights, kept … Continue reading Anger Management

Sometimes, the most important thing I need is silence. Having finished that hellacious read-through, I am glad to be able to be done with it and be able to put it behind me. One of the most important things I have learned about reading a truly raw manuscript is that as a writer, I truly … Continue reading Right Now

Okay, Here’s The Deal…

Fall is still in "full bloom". The trees are lush with color, but there aren't a lot of completely leaf free trees, mine included. Naturally, this is right about the time when I might get sick. It's slowly been affecting me for about a week now, but I kept saying "Oh, the time is about … Continue reading Okay, Here’s The Deal…

Let Your Voice Be Heard

Miss Poison Honesty, Musings, Writing , , , , , , , ,

If you're voting today, get to the polls and let your voice be heard. I generally do an absentee ballot because I am not always home or available on Election Day and I like to get it in early. Honestly, I have no genuine interest in this particular election. It's all about deciding which snake … Continue reading Let Your Voice Be Heard

Tomorrow is Samhain, which is Halloween for the uninitiated who can't even pronounce what I just said. I've taken some time this week to be quiet, to look deeply within, and to give myself some space. Every year brings a new set of challenges, and I am hoping to embark on happier ones this time … Continue reading The Need For Silence
