For Day #3, I am talking about finding time to write. In every book or article that I have ever read about writing, it is always stated that you must set aside time to write. We all know how often something actually gets done if we don’t make specific plans for it to get done. Other things come up, we are too tired - there are hundreds of excuses ( Read more... )

Day 2 is supposed to be about goals. I talked about some of my goals yesterday, but today I will see if I can write 500 words on them. Since I was a little kid, I have loved writing. Back then I wasn’t so self-conscious about my writing, and though my parents tried to help push me along, I put it aside for several years. I took two creative writing ( Read more... )

For Day #1, I am supposed to announce that I am challenging myself to write 500 words for the next 31 days. I am under no illusion that this is going to be easy. The last time I posted anything on this blog was February of 2013, and I managed to write 1200 words for NaN0WriMo 2013. So obviously, though I love to write, it is not something that I ( Read more... )

I didn't know what to expect when I decided to watch the pilot. From the summary, it seemed like it was going to be a politic-heavy plot that might end up being too confusing and boring to get through. But I was willing to give it a try. I think I must have given a dozen shows a try that day, but this was the only one that grabbed my attention. ( Read more... )

I know that I promised a review of the first episode of The West Wing, but it seems that the writing has gotten a little out of hand. I have way too many things to say, and I keep getting off topic (talking about other episodes in the show). But I promise I am writing and I will be posting it soon. Maybe after this first one they will come out

I cannot believe that I am actually doing this. I have so many other things that I should be finishing up, yet here I am starting something else. That seems to be the story of my life. I began watching The West Wing at the beginning of September 2012 and as of October 4, I have 36 episodes left to go. This means that in that last ( Read more... )

I keep telling myself that I need to write more, but what ends up on the page is not what I was thinking in my head. I just get so excited about things that instead of it coming out in an organized fashion, it comes out in fangirl. So, I haven’t been writing as much as I would like. That has to do with the coherency problem as well as with the fact ( Read more... )

I saw this the other day and still cannot help laughing every single time I see it! So, I thought I would share. This face pretty much describes me! I feel like this look is constantly playing inside my head as I go through the day. Which might be why I think it is so funny.
