Plugging away...
I bought Will Terry's Perspective Folio class last week (still want his designing for pictures). All my high falutin' plans got interfered with by life, and though I'd ALSO planned on making up for it this past weekend, I was simply a slug. But funny thing happened on the way to naptime. Today, I have more ambition and a better sense of focus. Last ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes you have to fill your well...
So I was sick over the holidays and today is one of those run around like your a chicken from headcutting axe. I micromanaged my small depression away (the disappointment for not finishing my book in time for Christmas). You know I let what's given be enough in other areas of my life, I think as long as I plug away, I can do that for my creative, ( Read more... ) -
let's try this again...
Will Terry has admonished, stoked and suggested (yeah, I got all that from his post) to journal. He's already inspired me because his tutorial made sense of what all my other friends had said about Photoshop, so I'm merrily on the path of learning to master it. Not hating the results either ( Read more... ) -
So I can't post, share, or speak through my facebook page...
I take my niece home, watch some shows and come back, and my friend Jean Worthley posted a Warren Buffet interview from a few months ago with how to end the debate on the deficit in five minutes. I go to post it, and cannot. I spend the next two hours trouble shooting. This is on the heels of watching raw footage of the Occupy movement, for which I ( Read more... ) -
Choices, Constitution and Politics. I'm disgusted with Trump and much of what's going on
I spent a lot of yesterday and truthfully the last two weeks, trying to defend Donald Trump's politicking of the last few weeks. I was relieved the birth certificate was produced for the ignorant, because like Obama, I believe there were much more pressing problems facing our great country. I mistakenly, naively thought it would put this to rest, ( Read more... ) -
I feel like a stalker!
That's too harsh, but it is a strange feeling. I've been immersing myself in learning about epublishing, with the intent to commit (and have, my first offering, a short story Room Wars, is up at Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/44790 and Amazon: Read more... ) -
Revision of the worst kind and honesty of the best...
One of my thrills early on in my writing efforts was SmartWriters quoting my belief on the fluidity of language. Having researched letters written before the spelling standardization had taken full root, by well-know figures (Oliver Wendell Holmes or Charles Sumner anyone?). It was apparent to me content should supersede the niceties--- yes, ( Read more... ) -
Day two Nanabooboo, er NaNaWriMo...
So up at 4:30 a.m. to take G to work, take care of E till 9 and we go get her. Vote on the way home, because I know I'm not going to make it out again today, and didn't at least not until 11:00 p.m. to pick up Holly. Instead I'm making earling noises at the commode and acting very flu-ish like. Spent a lot of today in bed, but have been writing the ( Read more... ) -
First day follow up...
Though I'm officially at around 1400 or so, my word count is 1766. A good year and a decent start methinks. Tomorrow up at 4:30 again (this week shall be brutal, I think my best approach is to embrace it. Already being a bit of a hard-ass with my 11 who has a serious crush on a sweet kid, but she's pushing the envelop and not sure why her usually ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
NaNoWriMo. National Novel Writing Month for those not in the know... non-writing people or my friends I haven't yapped to. Reasons to fail (again) this year. I chauffeur two people (not to mention my own butt-that-should-be-in-chair) to and from work seven days a week, at opposite ends of the day. G's shift begins at 5 a.m. (UGGGGGHHHHH!!!!) ends ( Read more... )
