It struck me today that everyone who practices multiple disciplines (usually motherhood, work and some kind of hobby) talks about balance. I don’t work the way they say I’m supposed to. You’re supposed to focus on one thing for a really long time and make it really successful before moving on to something else. But [...]

I’m really worried about taking three months off of blogging/writing while overseas. I guess I will have to write stuff down on paper instead of in the comforting glow of my lappy for that time.
It will be the only time I’m overseas without a lappy though I can tell you that right now.
That is all.

I’ve only got one more weekend and 11 more week days until I leave for my 6 month training consisting of three months in Monroe, NC and three months overseas working with women, children, refugees, the homeless etc.
During this time I will continue writing but probably not so much published work as I have been [...]

I’m worried. There I said it. I know that you’re not supposed to mention things like this in public but I am. I have two weeks before I leave for a small school in Charlotte, NC at which I will be for 6 months. 3 of those months will be overseas at an undisclosed location [...]

How’s this for a Techie Weekend? I discovered the problem with what happened to my old lappy. I knew that it got a virus which basically wiped out its memory of ever having an operating system and I sort of knew where I got the virus but it wasn’t until today that I found out [...]

A lot of famous writers suggest that they wouldn’t write if they didn’t have a set time and place in which to write everyday. Now I admit that most of the time I like this too but does it make sense? I’m asking this because the second thing they say is that they are writers [...]

I’m pretty sure I’m dying. Sorry that was a bad opening but I have to blog about something and I think it may be true. OK, maybe not actually “true” as in the “true sense of the word” but…yeah you’re probably right, I’m not dying.
I’m just trying to get used to my new lappy. I [...]

Boy when I go away I really go away.Not only did I not do a Techie Weekend post last week or any other posts this week but I haven’t written word one in any story or article in the same week. How, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. I was house sitting at a house [...]

I got a direct tweet from AC first thing this morning saying that my story I posted a few days ago is now fixed so go read it on Associated Content.
I was so excited and I will definitely be posting more fiction on AC as time goes by. Having it fixed so quickly and efficiently [...]

I wonder if anyone else does this. It could just be me but I have imaginary friends. Let me rephrase: I am 24 and I have imaginary friends. As if that wasn’t enough I have imaginary friends that happen to be real people–celebrities. It sounds a lot creepier than I expected written out.
I don’t really [...]
