I'm running out of ways to describe my current state of mind. Earlier this week I had a different sense of self, and then I came home to discover I had lost my house key and the remote for the alarm. Thankfully, they were found and brought to "Lost & Found". I received a return … Continue reading Dazed, Confused, and Out Of Sorts

If I added up the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years I have spent missing my mother, I am pretty sure it would be an astronomical number. All those moments have brought me to this day; the tenth anniversary. A decade without my mother. It makes me sick to my stomach, putting the words … Continue reading A Decade

Hey, everyone. 🙂 It's been a rough time for me. Unfortunately my "rough time" is on a never-ending loop. No one is more tired of it than I am.

Authors' Note: **POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING** Yes, the title is spelled correctly. Yes, it's intentional. Most of my weekends are spent doing things I'd rather not do. The weekends were once my refuge for sleep, quiet, peace, laughter, productivity, cooking, more laughter, and space. They are now filled with rushed moments, trying to pack a lot … Continue reading Every Witch Way, But Mostly Dead

2018-04-01 Miss Poison April, Blue Moon April, Blue Moon, Stress, Writing

My weekend didn't go as planned. When things don't fall into place, it's upsetting and more than a little disconcerting. I am hoping the coming week will be better. I definitely have a lot of corrections to make in my life, especially after realizing some things over the past few days. I hope everyone was … Continue reading Sunday Night Stress & Strife

Not that long ago, what I can only presume is an "older gentleman", and by "older", I mean over fifty, but probably closer to seventy, sent me a private message on Facebook to complain about my use of a word. I remember reading the message and thinking "Are you for real?" Initially I ignored it, … Continue reading The Well-Placed Word

The best part of being on my final draft is writing in difficult scenes; tackling things I don't normally deal with in my day-to-day life. Challenging myself opens doors in both fiction and non-fiction. As someone who has always written real-life everything, without sugar-coating the good or the bad, I'm proud of myself for taking … Continue reading Exploration
