Here’s some REALLY bad fairy-tale writing for you all today. Sitting on hold, being hungry, worrying about hubby, feeling tired and icky – all equal completely useless writings:
Once upon a time
In a land far, far away
There lived a princess
Whose prince was in a land
Many leagues hence
She would get word
From him daily
On how he was doing and
What was happening.
And then suddenly there was nothing
And she was sad.
There is a Jamaican quote, I am sure, regarding getting used to something only to ..read more

Since we haven’t been told which day exactly hubby is leaving, we sit and wait this week … wait for a phone call.

I keep thinking I should go get a “real job”. The extra money would be awesome right now – I could pre-order the next generation nook! But I have to ask myself whether that is what I REALLY want to do. With FRG duties warming up and opening up a whole new world of possibilities for activity, will getting a day-job leave me with time to write?
On the heels of that, I ask myself if writing isn’t what I ..read more

My mind is like a combination train and bus station. Grand Central Station, comes to mind when I say that. There are always a million and one things happening at once. Thoughts arriving on the 5:10am train from somewhere, stepping off the steps en route to somewhere else. There are the thoughts that are sitting around waiting for their train or bus to arrive so that they can leave for their destination. And the ones that are just arriving by ..read more

The experts all say that the key to good blog content is to focus on a particular area of interest. Find a niche and carve out your real estate. Well, sort of. I’ve been looking at my own blog and wondering how to improve it. Don’t get me wrong, most of my faithful readers love reading and keeping up with my daily ramblings. However, I find I want to reach out to more than just my close friends. I ..read more
