I knelt down on the library carpet, wincing as my knees made a cracking sound. They sounded loud in the muffled silence between the shelves. The student situated at the table at the end of the aisle glared at me from over his laptop, annoyed with the disturbance. I pretended not to notice, instead leaning… Continue reading Writers Block

Anxiety
It’s 5:50 in the morning; far, far too early for anyone to be exercising, let alone biking seven miles, job or no job. And yet there you are, pushing yourself up a massive hill (the only overpass that crosses the freeway for at least two miles) because the other route takes you an extra half… Continue reading Anxiety
An Unfinished Poem
I am the keeper of the words. The words I conjure form the stories I weave, the skin I wear, the air I breathe. My fragile state is held together by a paste of whispered stories, hide behind a shield of imaginary worlds created solely to protect. I charge forth into the depths of reality,… Continue reading An Unfinished Poem
’twas a Cheese Sandwich
I guess if I’m going to start anywhere with writing and sharing stories, I should start towards the beginning. This isn’t the beginning of my writing, not at all. I’ve been writing since I was very little, but that’s a discussion for another post. This is a slightly current piece of writing, if you want… Continue reading ’twas a Cheese Sandwich
Short Pause
NOT GIVING UP NEVER FEAR However, I do have to put a short hold on my writing for the next three days. I'm applying to animation college and I need to assemble a portfolio, which will require some time and perhaps some re-editing. We shall see. All I know is, I would like that to be… Continue reading Short Pause
I SURRENDER
OKAY NOT REALLY. This is no longer NaNoWriMo for me. This is now ADVENTURES IN WRITING! I'm kind of not feeling this book at the moment. I know this is the first draft, but it's not doing what I want it to do. If that makes sense. I don't want to force it and ruin it,… Continue reading I SURRENDER
I probably won’t make it to 50K
I don't mean to sound negative! I'm just being realistic.Nano is 8 days in, and despite my efforts, I am just past 3K words. November really has not been my month! It started off strongly, but Sunday, everything just took a nose dive. My favorite teacher died, for starters. That carried me through Tuesday. I… Continue reading I probably won’t make it to 50K
GETTING IT DONE!
Life things, I mean. These past two days, I have accomplished something. Hahaha, that makes me sound lazy, doesn't it? Okay. I've accomplished more than SOMETHING. First, I've made some calls. I found out that I can in fact apply for the College Program in California! So I applied and heard back and my phone… Continue reading GETTING IT DONE!
I’m actually nervous for NaNoWriMo
It's not because of all the words I have to achieve in a month. It's because I actually have to face all the flaws in my book. Such as, I have a solid beginning. I have two great characters. And a general idea of what should happen.I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO FROM POINT… Continue reading I’m actually nervous for NaNoWriMo
I did something stupid!
Oh yes, I did. I made the BRILLIANT mistake of giving up caffeine the week before NaNoWriMo.WHOMP.I need to give it up. I've found out the hard way that my anxiety increases on caffeine. So since I have a stressful job and there are sometimes angry guests, I decided it might be a good idea… Continue reading I did something stupid!
