11/9/08 I have a dream of becoming a proffesional writer. I am always working on something, even if it's just journal entries. However, my stories are usually half finished, and then I get writers block. Sometimes I force myself to write anyway, but my stories look forced. Maybe I'm too critical of myself, or my writing. My heart's desire right now is to finish a few pieces for my contest entries. I did enter a contest for an October deadline, but the spacing and spelling were garbage. But at least I finished writing something. Little by little. I am looking forward to enter the writer's digest short story contest. But, I have to be very careful withmy entry. It cost 12 dollars to enter. I have to make sure it's at least technically perfect. Less than that goes straight to the trash pile. The prize is 3,000 dollars. I hope I'll win one someday soon. I have no other career prospects. Being on SSDI sucks. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for what they give me. I just have dreams of overcoming my handicap. Wish me luck, no..wish me diligence. |
| hi guys. I've moved. I haven't been here in a long while as I just got my computer back up and running. But I hope to get back into the swing of things very soon. |
| chores can be fun if doen with an MP3 player. And it took my mind off writing for while. I wonder if stalling is an actual technique. I think I'll go play a video game and then tease the cat. I'm still waiting for my hubby to come home from his Dungeons and Dragons game and bring me to my friend's house for cake and coffee. And I had this thought..am I the only one who thinks Jerry Springer is the banker from deal or no deal? Or that Hillary Clinton and Martha Stewart are actually the same person? Am I the only Cowboy Mouth fan on here? I just bought the album "Fearless" and I love it. But I can't get the Kelly Ripa song out of my head. velcro |
| i haven't been reading or writing much lately. This past week, I've been plagued with dizzy spells. I am frustrated that I'm not turning out anything at all. Today looks better though. I can't wait for my writer's market to arrive in the mail. I get one every year. And every year, it sits on the shelf until I come up with something to submit. Here's hoping it won't sit on the shelf too long this year. And here's hoping I can play on wrting.com more often to sharpen my skills and help others do the same. |
| okay, since I've been writing like made and trying to finish a blanket for my sister's Christmas present, I've been eating junk food. Not the regular junk food(although I did have a McDonalds meal tonight) but nibbling on unhealthy stuff. I haven't been exercising either. I've been moderately depressed due to the changing of the daylight for winter. I can't even go outdoors without squinting. So, I haven't lost any weight in three weeks. I guess I'll give it another try tomorrow. Maybe do some stretching. wish me luck. velcro |
| Well, getting my entry ready on time and sent out felt really good. I'm keen to enter more contests. It could get expensive though. It's usually about 10 dollars per entry. I have many good idaes for stories, but when I try to write them they kinda fall flat most of the time. I'd even have more stories here if it wern't for that. most of the time, I don't know wre a sotry is going before I start. That might be the problem. I'd hate to outline and force it, but what's a girl to do? |
| my anxiety was hell a few days ago. Jim didn't know what to say. Then jay, his friend, called and said to me. Live in the moment instead of tomorrow. What are you doing right now. I was watching hubby, Jim, put a chair together for me. I told her so. and she said, so, that's all that matters right now. I discovered she was right. If I only thought about the moment I'm in, plus where I'm supposed to be for the week, I'll be okay. So, I haven't cried since yesterday(totally different reason) and I feel great. I got my writing entry done on time. i'm looking to enter more contests, and the future looks promising. The library director, where I volunteer, invited me to open mic night at the library in March. So, I have to write a poem before then. Should be pretty easy. velcro |
| wow. my hubby bought a new computer and gave me the old one to set up as a writing center for the house. I'm been doing writing exercises all week. i feel so many stories in me that I hardly know where to start. He even bought me a digtal recored to talk into in the car when I can't write. I get sick if I look down when riding in a car. did Imention how much a love blcak friday? lol |
