But it did. It did because I facilitated its arrival. After seven and a half years with this company, I handed over my keys and walked away. If I were reading anyone else's blog, I would think to myself, "big deal". We all blab on and on about our nonsense. I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/447555I always thought that life was very cyclical. You know, something shitty happens, it pushed you back, but then you recover. I've gone through bad times in my life-painful times. I didn't have the most pleasant childhood at all times, but who has? I somehow made it out alive and living a...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/443263I have a severe case of writer's block. Many writers would argue that it simply does not exist. I have to disagree. It has been at least a week since I sat down in this chair to write anything aside from an email response. I don't know what causes this blockage. Fear, I suppose. Very soon, I will...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/441511I want to go jump off of a bridge right now. No, I'm not really going to do it- I don't have the guts to. Plus, knowing my luck, I'll go straight to hell. I have never felt the kind of pain or emptiness that I feel right now--and I've come close so many times. I am a boxer in the ring who keeps...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/440187I have hope again, and suddenly, I can see dreams that I've had about my future- things that I have always wanted for myself- but never gave myself permission to believe. I see travel to exotic lands, and a passionate love affair that would inspire even the most cynical writer to pen a novel. I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/438105Trajectory is defined as "a path followed by an object moving through space". To say that I'm not inclined towards science and math would be completely understating it. I was an honors student in school, but it was all I could do to get through Physics and stay awake. What I'm trying to say is...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/436011Since I met this man- who lives very far away- I have been struggling to juggle all of my priorities. Very soon, I will be quitting my job and traveling for a bit. The goal of this time of unemployment is to give time and attention to both my travel and my writing. I am afraid...no scared...no...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/434366It was 3:45 in the morning yesterday when I arrived at the airport. I was flying Continental, and since it was a Saturday, and I was flying internationally, there were ten million other people trying to do the same thing. The couple standing in front of me had their toddlers clinging to them and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/433155I think about the direction my career will take at least 500 times a day. Sometimes I think that if I could use that time instead to pursue all of the opportunities that are laying before me, I would already have another job. Here is my predicament: I am a retail store manager. I don't like my...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe/431552It seems to me, as every new year approaches, life gets in the way of life. I have two careers: business manager and freelance writer. There is an endless task list that just keeps growing. I get the sense of gratification as soon as I draw a red checkmark next to one item---and then another item...
