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

Self-Control

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

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

Readership has really grown a lot in the past month, so I wanted to say hello to all of the new people that have kindly followed, liked, and commented. It is a joy to read messages from like-minded souls. I see everything, and I appreciate all of you for stopping in. I especially have to … Continue reading Welcome & Thank You

Sometimes, the most important thing I need is silence. Having finished that hellacious read-through, I am glad to be able to be done with it and be able to put it behind me. One of the most important things I have learned about reading a truly raw manuscript is that as a writer, I truly … Continue reading Right Now

Okay, Here’s The Deal…

Fall is still in "full bloom". The trees are lush with color, but there aren't a lot of completely leaf free trees, mine included. Naturally, this is right about the time when I might get sick. It's slowly been affecting me for about a week now, but I kept saying "Oh, the time is about … Continue reading Okay, Here’s The Deal…

Let Your Voice Be Heard

Miss Poison Honesty, Musings, Writing , , , , , , , ,

If you're voting today, get to the polls and let your voice be heard. I generally do an absentee ballot because I am not always home or available on Election Day and I like to get it in early. Honestly, I have no genuine interest in this particular election. It's all about deciding which snake … Continue reading Let Your Voice Be Heard

Coming Out of The Ancestral “Closet” I find it more than a little appalling that in 2014, I am still being asked “What are you?” Not “What religion are you?” or your average, inappropriate social questions, which, by my standards, are still rude. No, it’s always been “What ARE you?”, with such profound emphasis, as if … Continue reading Coming Out Of The Ancestral “Closet”

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

I'd love to say I'm up early and writing. The truth is, I was woken from a migraine by the smell of brewing coffee. At 12:30 a.m. Strictly speaking, the smell of coffee is really pleasant to me. I breathe deeply, it evokes memories, but when I'm sick, there is a very long list of … Continue reading Dark Clouds
