Journal Entry #88: Nostalgia for the 90s or Anything
I recently downloaded Jezzball and DX Ball for my computer. I’m more than a little psyched. I’m also moving my photos and files from my iMac that is ancient to my laptop. Needless to say, since I formatted my external for Apple, I can’t use it to transfer my stuff. It’s been a long process.…

Flash Fiction: Lennixx
The photo I took has nothing to do with story I just like the fact it says Twain. I haven’t written or rewritten much of anything since I was laid off. I’ve been headstrong on trying to find a job. I consider this job a stepping stone and will take it from there. I have…

Journal Entry Type #87: Let’s Count All the Ways COVID Changed Our Lives
I recently found out ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres are closing down all their theaters across the U.S. If you’ve never been to one of them, they were by far the best theaters around. Of course, the price was high but they had the best popcorn. I don’t know what they did, but it was…

Journal Entry Type #86: These Last Six Days
I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth although it feels like it. My emotions have been all over place since being laid off. Let’s just say I sort of knew it was coming, but when it did, it still felt like a gut punch. I thought I would be retiring at my now…

Journal Entry Type #85: If a Door Closes, Another One Opens
With the recent news of me being laid off due to COVID, I took a few days to myself to digest the information. It’s easy to freak out after losing a job, but there is comfort in knowing I’m not the only one. There are millions of others that lost their jobs, way before I…

Journal Entry #84: Who Needs Sleep When You Have a Life to Live?
I’ve given up trying to stay on schedule since not working a 9-to-5 job. I’ve tried hard to wake up by 10 am and fall asleep by 1 am. I’m usually still up at 2 or 3 am and still having trouble falling asleep. I used to work the night shift 20 years ago. It…

Journal Entry Type #83: Writing is a Journey
I got my edited version of my first story back. The good news is that it isn’t as labor intensive as I thought it might be. The bad news is, if you want to call it that, is I have to do another rewrite. It’s a minor rewrite compared to the lengthy ones I’ve done…

Journal Entry Type #82: A Good Reminder for Writers
It’s easy to get into the trap of thinking I will write the next great American novel, or I will write the next great novel to be translated into hundreds of languages and bought in every tiny corner of the world. The good news is that having this dream is a possibility although quite…

Journal Entry Type #81: Balance is the Key to Life
Once in a while I check in with myself to see what I need to focus on on a more spiritual/earthly sphere. I’ll be the first one to admit I’ve been trying my whole life to have balance. I find it in different ways, some days more successful than others, and other days it’s a…

Journal Entry #80: So, It’s International Women’s Day?
This year it took me several reminders that today was International Women’s Day. First, my partner, told me. Then, I got a text from a friend. Then, I saw Joe Biden speak about it on the news. Then, I read about it online. Then, I thought back to the time when one of the schools…

Journal Entry Type #79: Forget My Life for a Day or Week but No More Than That!
I made the decision to go out in nature and do a little hiking today. I brought someone along with me so I couldn’t go as far and that was probably a good thing. I kept putting it off this week because working on my Yoda puzzle is so much more exciting. Okay, yeah right.…

Journal Entry Type #78: I Don’t Know Where the Beginning, Middle, or End is, Do You?
My life isn’t as bad as the guy in the hourglass, but sometimes I do feel as if my life is spinning. It’s not spinning out of control but full of the same motions. By this repetitive motion over and over, I sometimes feel very lopsided where my life is passing me by. I know…

Journal Entry Type #77: Birthday Cards and Loud Kids
I spent last weekend going headstrong into my second novel. I decided to change it from first person to third person. Needless to say, I stayed up way too late, past midnight making the changes. I’ve been on a routine that resembles nothing when I had a full-time job. I miss the schedule I used…
