Year of No Fear

So way back in 2011, I posted my manifesto. I put it in a document, picked out fonts I liked, and posted it around my house on purple paper. As with many things we see every day, eventually I barely noticed it. However, Erin Zarro is doing a Year of No Fear, and I want […]

Upon Reflection I’m Not Sorry

Upon Reflection I'm Not Sorry

Join me in a wallow? I promise I’ll bring it around. Through the amazing generosity of friends, I went away last week. It was the first time in…eighteen years? Something like that. I’ve run away for weekends a few times, but this was a whole week of near-complete freedom. I didn’t have to worry about

Way back when I set up my first social media account (on myspace!) that was my quote. “My head is harder than your wall.” There’s a thing about me. Each of my characters, in some way, is me. Everyone is inside me, they just come out with things more emphasized than they are in me.

My 750 Words

I wanted to put up a blog post, but my brain has gone walkabout. Or perhaps it has been taken by zombies. So here’s my 750 words from this week Monday, minus a few I didn’t want to share with the internet. I thought it was a fun read anyway. 😉 Happy Monday. Stupid cat.

Self-Discipline is Remembering What You Really Want

Self-Discipline is Remembering What You Really Want

The lovely and amazing Kit Campbell (read her free awesome story here!) is going to/is in Peru. I’m thrilled for her, but also envious. I want to go very much! Reality, though, does not accede to unreasonable demands. I have to recognize that I am in no shape, health-wise or financially, to go to Peru.
