10 Reasons I shouldn’t write my autobiography

It has just begun. My Grandmother is still alive and she just doesn’t need to know those things. Where would I start? It would be a saga and who wants to read that. Parts of it are too painful to write. Parts of it I don’t remember. I don’t want to be named in a…

7 worst things to say to someone who just got dumped

You’re better off without them. I didn’t like them anyway. It’s not you, it’s them. Would you mind if I went out with them? Now you’ll have time to write that novel. You were still going out with them? What did you do? This short post brought to you by a creative writing prompt –…

NaNoWriMo

For those out there who are writers, wanna be writers, or know writers, you may know about NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Every November, there are “Thirty days and nights of literary abandon”.  What that means is – You write, you just write.  Bang out a novel in a month. While I have not officially…

Follow through

Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it’s done right-Walt Disney Follow through.  2 simple words.  Not a simple task. I feel like I have good ideas ALL the time (well I DO THINK that), but I don’t follow through on them… why not?  I.have.no.freaking.clue. I just…

YES!

I am so excited. I have been saying lately “I’m a writer, I’m a writer, I’m a writer” and then… I haven’t written.  My ADD has gotten so bad that the thought of sitting down to do ‘morning pages’ sends me into a hysterical laughing fit (which isn’t fun while recovering from pneumonia and bronchitis,…

Note to Self…

Commitment. This is a good word for 2011 – for numerous reasons.  I need to commit to the following things or else I might need to BE committed.  This list is probably not comprehensive – but it is a start.  This whole thing is really a note to myself…  but how many hit home for…

Truth

I wrote a guest post a while ago about what living your truth means to me.  You can read it here. It was an extremely hard post for me to write… and now I know why. Finally. Every single thing I wrote is true.  A lot of it was deep seeded thoughts and beliefs.  And…

Oh my!

I have no idea why I did this today, but I went back on Sarah Robinson’s site (I linked it – but it is www.escaping-mediocrity.com) I went back over the ’30 days to changing your game” series…  I read through the posts and the comments again. I realized how many people I follow on Twitter [...]

Updates

First of all, I want to apologize to anyone who had their Google Reader inundated with posts from me!  I just went through all of my posts and added tags – and I didn’t realize that updates got sent to the reader! Sorry. Now I know. However, in reading the posts, I laughed.  I went…

wasting time?

Boy, I feel like I have done a lot today, and I also feel that I have been wasting time!  I have re-vamped my blogs, changed the colors and the formats and I had so much fun doing that! I’ve played the Wii with my son…    I get so tickled when he has to…
