Old and New Idea #2

12/07/2019

Writing

5/17/2010 Something weird happened to me as I was sitting on the bus yesterday. I had spotted a woman with brown hair. It stopped just past her shoulders. She should’ve had it up instead of down. I was mesmerized with her neck. It was elongated like something you’d see in a television commercial. You know

Mixture of Old and New Idea

12/03/2019

Writing

I’ve been thinking about ways to get myself to write more without the fuss of editing later. I need a good massage, but back to my old/new idea. I started writing in my journal several entries about a character and what s/he goes through and thinks about. I plan on continuing this until I feel

Journal Type #25: Do I Feel Lucky? Thankful? Hopeful?

11/26/2019

Writing

As I was waiting in line with my roommate/partner for food this past weekend, I told him I hadn’t really fulfilled any of my 2019 New Year resolutions/goals to the point of being happy about it. He says his usual, well you better start moving your ass then to get them done (as he’s nowhere

Journal Entry Type #23: Five Day Reprieve

11/11/2019

PTSD, Writing

I’ve been feeling stretched thin, pulled in many directions, like I have for much of my life. You might be asking yourself, why the hell is this person so wound up all the time? Like one of those old toys where the ticker inside finally stops and she needs it wound up again in order

Journal Entry Type #22: You Can’t Live Without a Heart

10/25/2019

Health, Writing

As I was jogging the other day, I thought about how long it would take for my heart to go down to a normal resting pulse. I have yet to do this because I couldn’t remember how long you should wait before checking my recovery heart rate. I looked it up and it’s after 2

Journal Entry Type #21: Different Subjects, Different Tastes

10/19/2019

Random Thoughts, Writing

Here is my bright idea of different subjects and my take on them in a sentence or two or three and more. Chapstick/Lipbalm: I could not live without it. I have about 15 tubes from different companies in my apartment. They are so essential especially now that I live in the desert. My skin was

Journal Entry Type #20: At Least, I’m Winning in My Dreams

10/14/2019

Writing

I didn’t do much this past weekend but laundry, vacuum, dishes, dust, color, journal, read two chapters of one of my books, watch TV, movies, and Netflix. By the time Sunday rolled around, I realized Peaky Blinders, season five, came out on Netflix (will be reviewing sometime this month) and watched that all day. I

Journal Entry Type #19: Do What I Can

New Year Resolutions, Random Posts, Writing

I recently posted somewhere else my ability to touch the back of my feet with relative ease. The thing I didn’t mention were my thighs hurting like hell before I bothered my roommate and asked if he’d take a picture. They always seem to be overly tight and have to force myself to use the

21 Harsh But Eye-Opening Writing Tips From Great Authors

09/27/2019

Random Posts, Writing

I like when writers state the often harsh and brutal reality about writing. It isn’t glamorous by any means, okay maybe some of it, but little. It’s hard to contain the personality and emotions involved at times. Writing is more than quotes and opinions about writing from writers but it sure is fun to read,

Random Posts, Writing

I’m not one that too often posts other people’s posts directly from their blog or from the Internet, but I thought it why not on a Friday? I sometimes find people who have never written any kind of story less qualified to tell you how you should write a book. My inner thoughts, at times,

Journal Entry Type #19: Seriously! Really! No Kidding!

09/20/2019

Health, Life, Writing

For the last two weeks, I’ve been out of sorts and going through the motions of work without much going on except medical crap. What I thought was a routine CT scan of my sinuses, to try to get some relief since I’ve been dealing with this what feels like forever, the radiologist wanted me
