In less than a month, I've written over 220,000 words. Does that sound like a lot? It is. To do it in such a short period of time is a testament to me pushing myself to write every single day, and not to give up when I've felt stuck. Even if I only managed one … Continue reading Page After Page
Poison In Lethal Doses
Sick Writer
I find myself unable to concentrate this afternoon as I work on what I can only hope is my second to last draft. Everything is coming together nicely, but my health is taking an unhappy turn. It only took six and a half months, two applications (the first of which they lost and didn't tell … Continue reading Sick Writer
Checking In
Hello everyone! I hope this finds everyone in a good place, or at least, not a painful one. Life happens and I know it's not all roses, sunshine, and ice cream. 😦 I didn't mean to drop off the planet for a bit, and in truth, it hasn't been that long. Even still, it's unacceptable … Continue reading Checking In
Things I Hate About Being So Sick At Such A Young Age & Not Being Understood
Things I Hate About Being So Sick At Such A Young Age & Not Being Understood Over the past few months I’ve come to realize I’ve foolishly handled the severity of my illness for years. Over the past fifteen months, I have gotten worse. In turn, people’s expectations of me are way too high. They … Continue reading Things I Hate About Being So Sick At Such A Young Age & Not Being Understood
The Descent Into Hell Is Easy
The Descent Into Hell Is Easy-“Facilis Descensus Averni” I can accept a lot of things about other people. Damn near anything, but I cannot accept lying, betrayal, stealing, drug addiction, abuse, and/or the acceptance of abuse in a relationship. As I’ve discussed in the past, I’ve lived through an abusive relationship. It was a roller … Continue reading The Descent Into Hell Is Easy
Motivation
I’ve always wondered what motivates people to be judgmental about things and/or people they’ve never attempted to understand. Character trait, flaw, or simply their nature? I’m never certain, but it grates on my nerves. The majority of my family looks down upon me with much disdain because I’m “a writer”. I’ve never understood, nor will … Continue reading Motivation
Cannon Fodder
Cannon Fodder Author’s Note: There is a huge difference between being judgmental and not accepting someone’s bullshit. For my entire writing career, I’ve had a lot of hard & fast rules. A list of “don’ts”, per se. I’ve stuck to those rules, and I’ll continue to stick to the ones that are genuinely important (Zero … Continue reading Cannon Fodder
Lethal Poison And The Scorpion
The title sounds slightly gruesome (I'm a writer who, up until a few weeks ago, was researching serial killers. Leave me alone, okay? LOL.), but it is merely a reference for people who've known me my entire career, or at the very least, a good enough chunk of it, and know what to expect from … Continue reading Lethal Poison And The Scorpion
American Values & Respect
On the 26th of January, newly inaugurated “President Trump” (Which will remain in quotes because I cannot say it with a straight face.), gave a speech from Philadelphia. Living a handful of miles outside of Boston proper, this was “Breaking News”. I’m sure it was “Breaking News” all across this country, really. I listened, but … Continue reading American Values & Respect
Out Of Sorts, And Then Some…
I'd like to thank the two people who reached out to me with messages of encouragement, respect, and kindness after my last post about how horrible I am feeling (My feelings have only worsened.). Steven & Tasha; your words genuinely helped me and, from the bottom of my heart, they meant the world to me. … Continue reading Out Of Sorts, And Then Some…
