I wish I had a dose of wisdom to bestow upon you today, but I don't. I wish I had something to give that somehow made even just one person's day brighter or easier, but I've got nothing. I am all out of poignancy at the moment. 😦 The thought is disheartening, to say the … Continue reading I’ve Got Nothing!

It is unbearably difficult to move today. Everything hurts ten times worse than it did yesterday. 😦 The only non-painful part of my body are my toenails. That is sad, at least from where I'm sitting. Pain like this is torture and no decent human-being should be forced to live like this. I'm not stating … Continue reading Aches, Pain, and Shooting Stars

Mondays bring forth a lot of stress and anxiety. Fridays? Not so much. In fact, I feel calm that the week has come to an official end. I'm looking forward to putting up a load of laundry, eating dinner, and eliminating an hour or two off my DVR. I spent a huge portion of my … Continue reading Friday Musings

For an incredibly communicative person, I don't always want to talk. As a creative-type, I spend a lot of time inside my head. As a writer, it's my job to state the facts, and when writing fiction, it's my job to create a world that is relatable and draws you in. I feel blessed to … Continue reading It’s Okay

http://www.collective-evolution.com/2015/06/14/genetic-link-found-between-mental-illness-creativity-here-are-the-details/ As a right-brained individual, I find this slightly over-the-top. However, I don't deny having the advantage in terms of creative talent thanks to my genes. By the way, I've NEVER liked the words "Mental Illness". We preach acceptance of others, but that label is one of the worst in the United States, rarely ever … Continue reading Genetic Link Found Between Mental Illness & Creativity: Here Are The Details

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

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. 'Gods' is overly egotistical, and many writers don't write fiction, so in being fair to everyone... We create.
