If you're any kind of freelancer, you know, all too well, what the "low bid" means. In today's market, it is something I find utterly distasteful. You cannot put a price on creativity, but apparently many people are going around claiming they cannot afford it. Okay, then don't ask for it for free, and don't … Continue reading The Low Bid

When I First Started Writing…
When I first started writing, the advice that has stayed with me for 28 years is this: Write what you think, write what you feel, and write what you know. It doesn’t matter if someone doesn’t like it. There may have been some profanity thrown into the mix, but that was the gist of it. I’ve … Continue reading When I First Started Writing…
Days
The days are filled with terror. Problems piled up so high. Panic sets in, as soon as the birds start chirping. Sleepless nights, filled with anguish. Nothing solved from day-to-day, constantly being turned away. No one has answers and no one seems to care, absolving themselves of any and all responsibility. Reliability is rare, it … Continue reading Days
Unpreachable
(Author's Note: Happy Canada Day!) I don't like being preached to. I'm sure most of us don't. By "preach", I mean someone on their high horse with an agenda who is an absolute know-it-all and doesn't know when to stop. Initially I let it slide because it wasn't a daily diet, but now... It's gotten … Continue reading Unpreachable
Self-Centered Planet
On your own self-centered planet... No time for anyone. Believing your own words, as if they're the complete truth. Impressing upon others, that they're always wrong... Invalidating feelings that are actually dead on. I don't have time for nonsense. I don't have time for bullshit. I will not have my thoughts and feelings reduced, not … Continue reading Self-Centered Planet
Silver Linings
At this particular point in time, I am having difficulties seeing the silver linings. Life has its ups and downs. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it sucks. We've all experienced this. I'm not quite certain what to do when it's predominantly sucky. I work hard, but there is always a problem that arises and it's … Continue reading Silver Linings
Moody Musings
I'm in an ugly mood. I think I went to bed that way, to some extent, which only partially explains my nasty mood this morning. I (almost) never lock my cats out of my bedroom, but when they started their petition to shove me out of bed around 5:00, I silently got up, put grain … Continue reading Moody Musings
Emerging From The Cave
I woke up from a dream this morning that could have doubled as the weirdest movie EVER. Or a book. In fact, I'll be writing it down later since my dreams revert back to a clearer picture within a certain amount of time. Rule #1- Never share your writing ideas. I'm exceptionally exhausted and in … Continue reading Emerging From The Cave
