There's so much I want to say, and so much I want to protect. I'll try to say what I need to, without disrupting the delicate balance between the two. Have you ever felt divinely guided in one direction, and maybe been afraid to jump? Or let me rephrase and say, were you overly cautious … Continue reading One State of Mind, and Uncontrollable Pain

As a writer, have you ever gotten in your own damn way? Maybe even not as a writer, but as a creative person? Over the past few years I have written four novels. Three are fully-fleshed out, while one was a side project I wanted to keep in development since I wrote it in pieces. … Continue reading Writing Challenges, Ideas, and Being Realistic

I blinked and it's Thanksgiving week. How the hell did that happen?! The past two years have truly been a blur, and I definitely wasn't having any fun. Yesterday was the most Friday-feeling a Monday could be. I spent the entire afternoon confused about what day it was and what the damn time was. Genuinely … Continue reading Out of Time Blues

I haven't written anything here in a while, and I have my reasons. No, I wasn't too busy. I was stuck in my own head, with my own thoughts, and then I had work in front of me which I was so determined to get done. Most of it went great, but now I've got … Continue reading Crickets, Dark Depression, Change, & Investment Power

Lately, my every day expression is the side eye emoji most people use. Especially when it comes to hiring people to assist me in any way. Opportunities are opportunities and the door doesn't always remain wide open. Much like me, some artists are perfectionists. From a realistic standpoint, I know nothing is ever, "perfect", but … Continue reading Work, Work, Work, Work, Work

It was a bizarre first week of January, to say the least. I'm going to try not to talk about what happened at the Capitol Building because my brain is still trying to process the remnants of the act. I didn't know how much it would trigger my PTSD. Especially as someone I am familiar … Continue reading Writing, Reading, and Trying To Stay Focused

Sorry everyone. 😔 It seems as though I managed to kill the power supply for my laptop AGAIN. 🤦 Granted, the first replacement wasn't insanely expensive and almost a full two years is relatively reasonable, all things taken into consideration. I just ordered a new one. Fingers crossed it's here Monday or Tuesday. 🙏🤞 In … Continue reading I Did It AGAIN

Today is my sixth anniversary on WordPress. I can't believe how far I've come since sitting down on a particularly benign day, and saying "Why not?" It was a harmless move and thought, and I can say I am BLESSED to have remained friends with several people who first started following me on my original … Continue reading Sixth Anniversary

I’ve been working on a personal and extremely important mental health piece for nearly two months. As I was writing the end and editing the deeply personal parts, I felt stuck. I’m rarely ever stuck as a writer. I think the problem is, I’m trying to edit out the harshness and the absolute truth to … Continue reading How The Hell Do You Edit The Truth?
