MAYBE THIS SHOULD TELL ME SOMETHING
so here I am still waiting to hear if the stories and articles I've submitted in the last few weeks to various markets have been accepted. It took two days to get a rejection on the poems I submitted. Lol! I guess I need a little more practice with those, but now that I've gotten my first rejection...

THOUGHTS ON LIFE AND A SHAMELESS PLUG
I'm feeling introspective tonight but I think I've been using up most of my actual writing abilities for all of the freelancing stuff I've been doing. I'm recycling an article that I wrote for Lizzy Morrow's website. It fits my current mood. If you haven't checked out Lizzy's site yet, you should!!...

DID ANYONE REMEMBER?
I've been watching and haven't noticed that anyone has posted about this yet. If you have, I apologize for duplicating. Today is the 64th anniversary of The attack of Pearl Harbor. I've actually not heard anything about it yet today. That's so very sad that such an important event in American...

Trying Out Something New
As many of you know, I've been working hard at trying to drum up some freelancing work. Well, the business is going very very slow for me. It doesn't help that I'm incredible impatient. I've yet to hear back from anyone that I've submitted to. Even a rejection would be nice at this point so I would...

AM I LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM?
According to Forbes magazine my humble little city is number one on the list of least expensive places to "live the American dream." Apparently I have completely missed the boat on this one! Maybe that's because I'm a family of one. Their comparison was done with a fictional family of four. This...

IS SOMEONE EXPECTING A TORNADO?
At noon today the tornado sirens rang out over my city. Had this been a Monday in the spring or summer, no one would have given this any thought. December though, how strange? We have tornado drills at noon on most mondays during the spring and summer. Do other cities do this? I really have no idea....

THE REST OF THE STORY
My guy and I had a talk on Friday night after I had posted about him. Many left comments expressing their concern about this guy. I had intended the post to be lighthearted but it is often difficult to interpret the mood of a writer. Though the post was meant to be lighthearted, I did gain a new...

GUESS WHO IS STAYING THE NIGHT WITH ME TONIGHT!
Someone from my past is visiting today. Someone I care about very much. We use to spend many nights together and I really miss those times. Want to know who it is? It's little Pep Dog! Actually her name is Pepper. My family got her when I was a sophomore in high school and she's still around and...

I Think I Need a Translator
So I just broke the news to Mom that my guy is probably "not that into me." She's the one who bought me the book so I knew she would understand. She was so excited in the beginning though that I had met someone, I was afraid she would be more broken hearted then I. She took the news in stride...

ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
We met at Halloween. He was a vampire, I a sexy pirate. Well, as sexy as you get at fourteen. He was a year older and I could tell he was dangerous. I was young but old enough to know that there was something interesting about him. He was the only person at the party that I didn’t go to school with,...
