Writing
-
Yesterday was no where near as productive as I had been hoping for, mostly because a four hour shift turned into a thirteen hour one. So that was interesting, but it wrecked hell on my ability to write much in my down time (there was precious little of it and I was so tired besides).…

Awww, shucks. We missed January’s numbers by only seven views! We’ll see how March goes! March is exciting because it gets me thinking about spring, good luck and St. Patrick’s Day, and, of course, my birthday! And it’s time to start a new novel, too, blazing forward and trying to not think about how pathetically…

Only eight views today to match January! Come on! We can do it! And, really, if you think about the fact that there are three days less in February, that speaks very highly of the traffic that’s been consistently coming in this month. No, the numbers aren’t high numbers, but it’s something, so thank you…

I had a bothersome dream last night where I was inexplicably back in college and pregnant. My college campus was more of a mix between both Mt. Pleasant and Traverse City, and there was quite a bit of bike riding and strange artistic structure made of underwear. I have a few ideas on the psychosis…

I can’t believe February is almost over already. I’m in that spot where part of me just wants to get to March, while the other part of me is wondering if March will really be much different. I do seem to have a more predictable work schedule in March, with a birthday toward the end…

“The answers you get from literature depend on the questions you pose.” – Margaret Atwood I woke up this morning wanting to do a Margaret Atwood quote; I adore the woman and her writing and find her such an inspiration and a fascinating soul. Most of her quick-search quotes aren’t even really about writing; they’re…

I’ve commented on this phenomenon not too long ago, but I love the fact that, with writing, the adage of “when it rains, it pours” seems to apply equally well. These last few days, if you’ve been following along, I’ve been dedicating myself to sitting my butt down and just writing some of the monthly…

So, yesterday, I did what I knew would be beneficial and what I’ve been talking about doing for the past few days in this blog, and, sure enough, I was correct. Not wanting to get too entrenched into anything before I had to leave for work, I shut off the computer, pulled out my notebook,…

“The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.” -Karl Marx I didn’t want to fall back on this, but, when I’m in a long stretch of a lot of other work and haven’t…

February has been a rough month for my productivity. I’m not quite sure what it is; part of me wonders if it’s just the psychological stress of feeling like you have fewer days to shove just as much stuff in, but this month has been a tricky one. Nothing has suffered quite as much as…
