Satisfaction Beyond Words

I enjoy writing. I enjoy reading, but I have to admit, there is nothing more satisfying than visuals. When I was writing serial fiction, I looked so forward to seeing the illustrations bring my words alive. Later, I learned to do some basic digital art, turning my own words and those of others into... Sign in to see full entry.

Long Time No See

Thank you to everyone who has dropped me emails over the past few weeks, reminding me I am missed here. It is nice to be wanted. MajRoj has said it repeatedly that we outgrow places and people, and Blogit is no exception. It serves a wonderful purpose, but after a time, most people move on to... Sign in to see full entry.

Chat Room Code

I learned something new yesterday. Something totally useless and irrelevant. Did you know that if you are a woman with a profile in a chatroom, the number of children you put down is an indicator or what you charge for cybersex? I never knew this before. To tell you the truth, I never even knew... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Say Fuck It All & Start All Over

Have you ever had the urge just to say fuck it and chuck the whole thing in the garbage? I have a few things up in the air at all times. Right now, I'd say about 25% of them should be trashed and started all over or dropped. It most cases, it seems most prudent to drop them so I can concentrate on... Sign in to see full entry.

Learning To Write

I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. The best way to learn to write better is to critique the work of others. For every manuscript you critique, you will pick up style tips you may never have thought of. You will absorb some of the flavor of the author's style, and you learn grammar...

Jennifer Aniston Speaks Up

You know, if you had this to say for the press, you have to wonder what she says in private. I'm sorry, but I don't buy the sweet act. I have a feeling Jennifer can be a real bitch when the urge hits: She speaks, she finally speaks! In her first interview since filing for divorce in March, Jennifer... Sign in to see full entry.

Failure

I am a bit confused. The Boy was homeschooled last year but decided he would rather burn in hell than go through another year of schooling with me. We compromised and I enrolled him back in school. The school counselor and I have agreed it is sink or swim. I am to provide the time, materials, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Bored or Not

Bored or not, I tried my hand at some fiction today. Some of it actually held interest for me. I even managed to finish an erotica short story. Maybe it was just a phase. For the sake of all who have to listen to me whine, I sure hope so. I am also seeing light at the end of the tunnel because my... Sign in to see full entry.

Too Boring Even for Me

Life is pretty sad when it gets too boring for even the person living it to handle. Today, that is where I am. No book, no movie, no quick fix is going to change the way I feel today. Even my daily Tarot card says I am having problems empathizing with my own plight. So, what you can't fix is best... Sign in to see full entry.

Side Effects

I was at the pharmacy this morning and heard an interesting conversation between the pharmacists. While I don't know what medication they were discussing, the gist of the conversation was the medication was apt to cause more severe side effects than the original condition it treated. How often is... Sign in to see full entry.
