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

Exhausted

I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I'd like to sit and cry, but I don't even have the emotional capacity to do so today. I can't remember the last time I felt so incredibly deadened. I've spent an enormous chunk of my life taking care of others, being the dutiful daughter, being responsible and … Continue reading Exhausted

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

One of the things I struggle with as a writer is friends and family reading my work. If it’s fiction, they really don’t spend a lot of time reading personal things into it, but when it’s on a platform like this? UGH! I cannot tell you how many times I have received e-mails, text messages, … Continue reading Writer Struggles: Part One

“There are two kinds of friendship: the beneficial friendship and the erroneous friendship. The erroneous friendship balances on the principle of “The closer we are, the more okay it is for me to say anything I want to you and for me to treat you any way that I want to, and for me to … Continue reading Believe It Or Not, I DO Have Boundaries

Remember That People Who Know…

Image Miss Poison Honesty, Images/Photos/Quotes, Inspiration, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses , , , ,

Sometimes people over-estimate their comfort level with me and say the most heinous things, all under the guise of "friendship" and/or "honesty". It's something I have absolutely no respect for. I am taking a "sick day" today to work through that because no one deserves to receive my work when I'm pissed off to the … Continue reading Remember That People Who Know…

My Thoughts On Ghost Writing

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

My Thoughts On Ghost Writing One of the first things I learned as a writer is that if you can’t do it yourself, don’t fucking do it. Yes, it’s really that simple, at least for me. Walk into any bookstore and you will find millions of books. Sadly, many of them are not written by … Continue reading My Thoughts On Ghost Writing

Self-Control

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
