Yesterday, between the hours of six and nine pm I did the following: upgraded this blog to a "personal" plan in order to transform it to a more proper Author's Blog (whatever the hell that is...) kicked my "satinsheetdiva" (oh, the follies of youth) name / persona to the curb, opting for the more author … Continue reading Ch…Ch….Ch…Changes
21 of 40 – I want to scream…
...to rage against the heavens, my language and attitude born of hell. I want to curse the day, to use my ire to rend the sky, letting lighting strike, the thunder shaking the very core of this Earth's foundations. I want to abdicate responsibility, to treat others as they have treated me with not a … Continue reading 21 of 40 – I want to scream…
Sigh
Overwhelmed. So I haven't done much writing. Not on the blog or my July NaNo. SIGH! So, I'm just going to leave this here. It repeats and seems to be sped up somewhat, but it's cute (to me at least) none the less. A couple of 'em are a touch on the sexist / size-ist … Continue reading Sigh
Overwhelm
Definition (as it appears in my life right now): find a new place to live (pay app fees, deposit, 1st month's rent) fix up the normal wear and tear on the old place so as to hopefully get some of my deposit back pack find a storage unit / move non-essentials to storage unit to … Continue reading Overwhelm
My Great Loves
This struck me awhile back and made me wonder how many people in the world get to say that they were able to find some type of closure with the great loves / mega crushes of their pasts? I was able to do that with four of my five and quite frankly, I find that … Continue reading My Great Loves
Not in the Mood
I don't wanna: write cook walk think decide talk plan plot read look move. Instead, I want to: lay dream smile breathe listen feel be still. Hopefully I'll be able to after I: finish work this weekend do the laundry go grocery shopping cook and package my lunch for the week have dinner with friends … Continue reading Not in the Mood
Utter, Random, Senseless Nonsense
Oh the redundancy. It's fitting though as for some reason I have "Wasting away in Margaritaville / searching for my lost shaker of salt / ....some say there's a woman to blame / but I know, it's my own damn fault" circulating in my head. My brain has tossed in the occasional, even more random thought or … Continue reading Utter, Random, Senseless Nonsense
Decisions Made
Hire and work out with a personal trainer for 3 months. It'll be worth the investment to work out with a professional and this way, motivation won't be a factor as I'll have paid money and have a set schedule to adhere to. I do better if I have appointments I have to keep versus … Continue reading Decisions Made
Tired of Getting it Wrong
So this expert explains that the reason my books aren't selling is because the covers aren't "right". Then this self-publishing whiz points out that my books aren't selling because my story isn't "right" for my genre. Another professional tells me my books aren't selling because I don't know the "right" things about my target audience. … Continue reading Tired of Getting it Wrong
Focus
Follow. One. Course. Until. Satisfied. FOCUS. I don't seem to be able to do that. I can hone in on a course of action but I tend to veer off before the action yields any satisfactory outcomes. I am great at starting, going along for awhile, but then I seem to I need some way … Continue reading Focus
