All over the place
My body has had enough of sitting at a desk. I feel like my muscles are congested. I feel like I need to stand up and stretch until my fingertips graze the sky, and my feet reach the center of the earth. I can’t take any more applications that crash. I can’t share any more […]
I just wrote a lengthy post about how on Monday I stepped in a crack in a dark parking lot and twisted my ankle. I was using the WordPress iPad app. I thought I had saved the post as a draft. Apparently I didn’t. I started the post talking about how I wasn’t going to […]
It really stinks when you have all of these great ideas for your digital life, but you’re sick, and you just can’t bear to sit at the computer and work on them. That was me last week. I felt bad. I was tired, lightheaded, lethargic, and at times, nauseous. I wasn’t blogging, so I worried […]
There was a time, a few years ago, when I decided to embrace the color pink. I bought a pink wallet and a pink iPhone case. I also had a pink hat that I liked to wear in the winter. It was the “hot color” of the season, so you couldn’t avoid seeing it in […]
I’m in over my head, and it is my fault entirely. I have too many irons in the fire. I am but one woman, but I apparently need to be three or four. Here’s the problem. I’m trying to become some kind of content curation maven on various social media platforms. I also want to […]
I am going to write as if this is a normal post. I will avoid mentioning my avoidance of three letter words. Here I go. I have written about trying to be seen as an expert on some subject. Since I think Instructional Design is my calling, I thought I would become an expert in […]
I’d like to write a poem about my feelings about my struggles (such that they are) about my everyday and every night I’d like to put words together in a pretty way with wit, rhyme, rhythm, meaning, metaphor, simile and other devices things I learned in Mrs. Greene’s 11th grade English class That was my […]
It’s day whatever of NaNoWriMo. I decided to do some descriptive writing, and construct the places where my characters will live and work. My first idea for a location is a place like Heaven, a Perfect Place. One of my characters dies and goes there. I think she’ll be flitting between her world and ours. […]
Permission to Proceed Slowly I have given myself permission to do my NaNoWriMo thing slowly. I wrote a couple of hundred words today about a character who will help me bring the story into the realm of the magical. It won’t fit into the Magical Realism category because it won’t fit all the criteria. I’m […]
So I thought I wanted to write a novel, but now I’m not so sure. It’s hard work! I stated in my last post that I would be participating in NaNoWriMo, but without an outline or a plot. I’m creating characters, and so far I’ve got six of them and a place called Jay’s Bar […]
