The Little Things
You know you're a writer who lives and dies by her laptop when replacing your laptop battery is a big deal. What's worse, you're excited about the fact that you got it for a good price and it should be here sooner rather than later. The fact that I considered getting a second one "just … Continue reading The Little Things
Sick & Tired
I am sick & tired. Mostly of being both of the aforementioned. Because I have Fibromyalgia, my body responds differently to the weather and a lot of other external things that I, personally, cannot control. I have heightened senses, so a lot of smells make me sick and I often have to retreat to my … Continue reading Sick & Tired
Sometimes People Ask For Way Too Much
Here's something important you all need to know about me. Above all else, I am supremely professional. However, if you're antagonistic and you push my buttons right out of the gate, I will remain professional until the job is done, but I won't ever be anywhere in the vicinity of nice ever again.

September always sneaks up on me unpleasantly, kind of like the holiday season (If I see one more Christmas decoration, I'll flip my lid!). I'm never fully prepared for it and I am always happy to see it go. October is my favorite month of the year. It reminds me of very happy times in … Continue reading Saying Goodbye To September…
I’m Fried!
After editing for ten hours yesterday, I am completely fried to a crisp. It's going to take a while before my back, neck, and shoulder feel normal again. I did yoga stretches to loosen all of my muscles when I was done for the day yesterday, and then I covered all the affected problem spots … Continue reading I’m Fried!
Once Again
Once again, I find myself astounded by the audacity of people. There are jobs in this world where you truly DO "get what you pay for". I have a healthy respect for money, but as a writer, there are some things I'm not willing to do in order to earn pennies. Maybe that sounds horrible, … Continue reading Once Again
