Struggling to Write
Once again I find that I am struggling to put words onto a page. For a writer, this is painful, even a little devastating. For a while, I haven’t even been able to come up with ideas for projects to begin, nor have I been able to finish some of the projects that have been in limbo for a time. I know that I have talked about this writer’s block on ( Read more... ) -

Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Life Lessons
Like many Jane Austen fans, I have watched (and enjoyed) "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries." For those who don't know what this is, I will give a small summary in this paragraph. For those who have seen this, you can skip to the next paragraph (when I get to the main point of this post). "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries" is a series of videos on Youtube that ( Read more... ) -
First Family Vacation to Orlando
I am still using Livejournal (because this is where some of my friends are, and I have a soft spot for Livejournal). That being said, I have a Wordpress, which I like the design of a little more. I can easily add pictures and information in a post. So instead of recreating an entire entry, I will just link to the Wordpress page here.
Enjoy.Getting Back to Writing and NaNoWriMo
As previously mentioned, I have been a bit unmotivated to write since I graduated with my MFA in Creative Writing. Getting a degree in creative writing and then not writing is unfortunate. It somehow makes my degree seem pointless. Because of this I have had some thoughts and ideas, and I made a few decisions ( Read more... )Family Vacation
As December approaches, I am starting to get more nervous and more excited. No, not because of Christmas. Christmas has sort of become unimportant to me since I've become an adult (and sort of poor). It is pretty much a day to spend time with my mother and boyfriend, eating a nice dinner and doing family things ( Read more... )Writing about writing again.
I’m feeling a little stagnant right now. I graduated from college in 2014, and I can’t seem to get motivated to do anything creative. I wrote so many stories when I was in the creative writing program at Lindenwood University, and created a successful thesis. I must have done a pretty good job with that creativity business because I got a 4.0, but ( Read more... )Reading Once More
I started reading again. This might sound silly, but since I started (probably) my second masters degree, I haven't really read a book for myself. I read a few continuations of book series, but I haven't started a new series, or read individual books. I have collections and collections of books on my kindle and on bookshelves, but I have either ( Read more... )Struggling to Write
Since graduation I admit that I have struggled to write. It's not like I have no ideas, or the words escape me. It seems like I have just gotten lazy. How can someone be too lazy to sit and write? Well, I think a part of it is that I get a little depressed thinking about how old I am (31) and how little I have actually accomplished in my life. I ( Read more... )Just a little Rant
A friend of mine was bullied pretty cruelly on Facebook, and my brain was split in half between two thoughts. My first thought was to rip this rude girl apart on all levels in an attempt to make her feel just as small as she probably made my friend feel. The other thought was to ignore the rude girl because she was probably an internet troll, just ( Read more... )
