I'd frown, but I have no wrinkles and don't want to age prematurely. 😉 I thought I'd say hello and let you all know I'm semi-alive. I've been working on a piece these past few weeks, but have had a lot of setbacks that have kept me at a 70/30 percentage in terms of completing … Continue reading I’d Frown, But…

I'm running out of ways to describe my current state of mind. Earlier this week I had a different sense of self, and then I came home to discover I had lost my house key and the remote for the alarm.

Authors' Note: **POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING** Yes, the title is spelled correctly. Yes, it's intentional. Most of my weekends are spent doing things I'd rather not do.

There will be times when, to address certain issues, I will have to look back on this year and handle things that pain me.

I have long since passed "tired" and have reached a state of pure "painsomnia". No matter what I do, I am in too much pain to sleep properly, if at all. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, I'm not in the correct head-space to allow my body to rest as it needs to. It's twisted when anyone … Continue reading Stressful Sleepless Nights

All writers have moments when they feel unprepared. Me? On occasion I will say “I wish I were talented.” or “I can’t write this.” In other words, even the best of us have bad days. Or weeks. We all have a little doubt, or we’d be completely full of crap. I hold it in really … Continue reading Doubting Myself
