When you hear writers in the movies talking about having ‘writer’s block’, they make it sound like some mystical thing they have no control over. I don’t know that I really believe in ‘writer’s block’, exactly. But something is going on with me over the past few days, and I don’t like it! I wouldn’t go so far as to say I am blocked, but stopped up or something? Maybe. I was excited about starting over and getting to work on a new format for my novel, but when I sit down to write, nothing comes out. I have barely…

I have definitely been wanting an ereader for a while now, but I thought it would be a bit before I could really afford to shell out the money for one. Imagine my surprise when I opened a brand new Sony Pocket Edition (PRS-300) from my parents for Christmas! I was super excited! As far as what type of reader I wanted, I couldn’t have asked for a better one. I knew I didn’t really want a Kindle. They are much more proprietary and it’s much more difficult to put your pdf’s and things on there. With the Sony, I…

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…
