Long time since I posted anything here in my lovely blog, so I just wanted to drop a line to say I haven't forgotten you oh trusty blog. Though, I haven't been diligent in my writing and therefore haven't much to update on.
Woah am I a dreamer. From becoming a #1 Best Selling Author to owning my own little piece of downtown business district, I think my little heart does not know how to dream small.

"Oh, my life is changing everyday; in every possible way..."

Monday Morning Ponderings

Monday Morning Ponderings: 1.) Spring smells absolutely wonderful! 2.) How hard is it, really, for people to pick up their own garbage?? I'd rather pick up after my dog than a lazy person, and I end up doing both:-P 3.) "No Dogs" signs are "No fun". 4.) I love how everyone waves to each other when they are camping. I feel like I am on that show Cheers, except for knowing their names, of course...5.) How come my purse, car, and house can never all be clean at the same time? 6.)No more red tablecloths if I can't remember to not put them in the laundry with non-red items. 7.) Do I need a better memory or a shorter to-do list?

Keep writing or bust

Wow, life has been crazy and I am surprised I have found ANY time to fit in this little passion of mine. But I have, a little. Not as much as I would like to, but hey, little is better than none, right?

I can say that at this time in my life I am incredibly grateful for friends and food. There's nothing more comforting to the soul than eating an ice cream sundae or having a conversation with a real friend. Now, when I get to do both at the same time - Heaven on earth! ;) Oh, and how could I forget music? If it wasn't for the comforting ballads of Stevie Nicks, Lynard Skynard, CCR, REM, Nirvana, REO Speedwagon, The Cure, Janis Joplin, Casting Crowns, Super Chicks, Martina Mc Bride... can't name them all but don't know what I would do without 'em.

I really want to go to a poetry night at the Luna Cafe -BAD. I really want to go. Did I say that already? But the stars are just not lining up in my direction on this one. hmmmm and I used to call myself a resourceful person, could find a way to do anything!

Posted first two chapters of my newest work for class today. Hope they like it and looking forward to feedback!

Night Out with the Buds

I had so much fun with my writing buddies at Luna Cafe! It was wonderful to meet Professor Gillam and especially, to hear her read some of her new novel. The remainder of the night was spent bowling. I'd have to admit to losing the first game, but I did come back and kick but in the second. If I could have at least one outing like that a week I think I could handle the rest of week just fine:-) I'm actually thinking of heading back up there one of these Thursdays to read a poem, or at least to watch other people read theirs.

Can anyone actually make money writing poems these days?

So I have been witting a lot of poems lately. The funny thing is, I didn't think I liked poems! But for some reason every time I pull out the old laptop or a piece of paper and pen, poems come out! They roll out of my mind and off my tongue like a marble on a slide! Smooth and quick and with little or no effort. How do I make money writing those?
