I have spent the last two years doing what I love to do – writing. Becoming a writer was always a secret dream of mine, even when I was heading toward a career in music. I have always devoured poetry and cherished good books in a multitude of genres from horror to literary fiction. With a few “good” rejections under my belt, a full novel and a novella as well as countless started (but never finished) attempts, I know that I am closer than ever to finding that magic thing in my own writing that leads me to a published…

Well, it’s officially week 2 of the new year. So far, I haven’t lived up to my hopes for 2010, have you? It’s easy to blame the cold I had last week or the terrible back pains, but this morning I feel fine. Okay, so I’m a little bit tired from staying up too late reading Stephen King’s newest book, Under the Dome, last night on my new Sony reader… but that’s not really an excuse. This morning is the beginning of my 2010 in some ways since I was feeling ill most of last week. So what are my…

Well, last night the weather forecast said snow from midnight to 5 am, but alas, all it did was rain. It must have warmed up too much for snow to fall, and that makes me sad. 🙁 There have been several days so far this year that snow was in the forecast, but I have yet to actually see any snow. Last year, the big snow occurred when I was in Georgia awaiting the birth of my beautiful niece. G took pictures for me, but by the time I got home, all that was left was a tiny dirty ice…

Wow, talk about dreams! G and I both woke up this morning exhausted from dreaming all night. Why have we been dreaming so much lately? It’s been so many nights over the past week or two that we have both felt that we dreamed a lot and didn’t get much rest. Last night, my dreams were about Vegas, I think. Except in my dream it was a foreign country and I was there with a friend of mine from college who I haven’t thought about in a very long time. We ordered bananas and coffee from some guy that brought…

Having a cold sucks. It’s torture, really. Slow, agonizing, torture. Aside from swallowing what is essentially snot all day, your throat burns and you have a constant desire to cough, which then burns. Not to mention the fact that you’re tired and run down and can never really breathe through both nostrils at once. This week, I have a cold. Just a common cold, I guess. Probably unrelated to the flu-like symptoms of last week. (And I’ll take cold over flu any day.) In some ways, it’s like my body said, “Wait, the wedding is over? And you’re back to…

I know I’ve talked about Goals before, but the topic has been on my mind a lot lately. I guess it’s just that time of year, isn’t it? Most people call them “resolutions”, but basically that’s the same thing as a goal. In the end, it’s all about change. Changing something we do or say in order to obtain or reach something we want most in life. But how many times have we set the same new year’s resolutions year after year? How many times have we set the same goals only to look back a year or so later…
