Day 28, 30 Day Writing Challenge, about...writing! YAY!

 
As I sit here typing this blog, my mind can't stop racing through the details of my new story.  It feels good to find that passion again and I have a feeling this one will lead to the ones I have had in my mind and have written a million different time, for almost 20 years.  A story that has continually morphed, up until ten years ago, when the idea was firmly locked in place.  This one just happens to be a branch-ling (new word!? maybe?) from that story, but I think it will help me figure out where I am going.
 
Sometimes writing can be my addiction.  Seriously, instead of working I would rather be writing and truth be told, I might find myself mentally focusing on something other than work, but I can't help it. It's my passion and one day I hope to be good enough to be successful at it. 
 
I have signed up for another online writing course and I think this one might do the trick.  I love, go-at-your-own-pace programs that are online.  I do, seriously, need to work on punctuation, my mortal enemy.  I get the basics, but seriously, the whole comma thing, for the most part, throws me, and I am sure it drives my very few readers of my blog, nuts as well. I promise I will get the hang of it though...someday.  
 
Back to the original thought...it feels good to be productive again and with my first story finished and some of the processes gone through, I feel like, perhaps, I might be getting the hang of this, but before I get too far ahead of myself, I do know there is much to learn and I am a worthy pupil, waiting to absorb all that information.  What I need is to find a smart man, who can read my stuff with a red pen. lol!  Yeah, yeah...I know, there she goes again about finding Mr. Right.  Just sayin', I need someone smart, who reads a lot more than I do. ha!
 
So for now, I will just plug away on my short story and be grateful that I am finally getting to the books I have been wanting to re-write, for the last time, and finish them this time.  It is possible...I'm such a slow bloomer...yes, a late one too...but all good things in the right time, yes?
 
Until tomorrow...pursue your dreams, never give up and always believe...in you. <3

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Not sure what the title should be.

Brace yourselves, this will probably be a rambling post, but hey, no one is perfect and it is apparently one of the things I do best.  I think this post will be about resolutions, but I didn't want to put that in the subject line, I thought I would keep you guessing.  So mean right? Or is that clever trickery?  Sometimes I am so wicked awesome (in my own mind).  So let's get to it.  Resolution number one.  No resolutions.  For me they end up being empty promises that only make me feel guilty at the end of the year.  So for the second year in a row, I am flying by the seat of my pants and coming up with idea's of things I want to, need to and have to get done. As those of you who read my blog know, I made this oath last year and went on one hell of a year long, transformative, journey.  As I write this today, I think I might have just finished with one of the biggest transformations in my life and I didn't even realize...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...
