Who Am I?

It’s highly likely that no one visits this website any more. I’m not surprised and I’m not discouraged either. Blogs are only successful if the owner posts and I haven’t done much of that over recent months.
Some months ago, I clearly announced to the world that I had decided to stop writing…forever. […]

A Quiet Mind

I spent some time visiting some of my writer friends tonight. I read their posts with interest, but I didn’t leave any comments. I’m not entirely sure why, but I think I feel that I don’t really have the right. It sounds stupid…because it is stupid. I know that. But […]

The Battle Between Fantasy and Reality

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. Some readers might think I’ve deserted this website. I haven’t. Regular readers have probably wandered off to find more interesting (and active) blogs to read. That’s fine.
I guess the question on everyone’s lips (if, indeed, anyone still visits) would probably be […]

Never Say Never

A friend and member of the writing email group I spoke about yesterday made the following comment in response to my post - To Write or Not to Write.
I’m also a firm believer in “never say never,” though. Karen, if you don’t feel like writing right now, I think you should absolutely feel free to […]

To Write or Not to Write

This morning, I wrote the following and posted it to an email writing group I belong to:
I’ve found myself in situations where I just want to give it all away before, but every time that happened it was spurred on by depression, anger or some other upset in my life. Always in the […]

2008: A New Beginning

Today I returned to work after a two week break. As always, the break wasn’t long enough, but I’d say that no matter how long I had off work. However, I’m happy to report that I feel relaxed and positive. It’s a wonderful feeling.
What did I do with myself in those two […]

Taking Control and the Odd One Out

The last couple of years, well nineteen months, have been tough. Yet I’ve survived everything that has happened and I am sitting here today planning a future. I think that’s a good sign.
I am looking at the future and wondering what I want to do with my time. Sometimes I feel pressured […]

Stepping Back for a While

Life is throwing too many curve balls at me at the moment. I’m not coping particularly well with it and have decided to step back from the unnecessary things and give myself time to recover as my health has been affected by what’s going on.
I wrote through the first week of the trouble and […]

Saying Goodbye

Just over five years ago we moved into the house we are now living in. As we moved our belongings in the front door, a black cat sat on the window sill watching us. He was a regal looking cat with white paws and a white stripe down his chest.
Settled, we […]

Didn’t Get There

Not only did I not reach the personal goal I set myself this weekend, I didn’t even reach 40,000 words. True, I only had another 220 words to write, but sometimes you just have to stop and let go of a goal and that’s what I did.
Saturday, as I mentioned in my previous post, […]
