Wow I have some major catching up to do

Yeah tell me about it...things have just been crazy around here over the past week or so. For now I have a few fun bits of information to throw out there for your reading enjoyment:

Common Sense Police:
Insomnia Issues
My disdain for October 27th
The What if syndrome

Culture Feast
Media Literacy Rant
Finding A Halloween Costume


Still to come...a Halloween Retrospective...a look at how the economy issues can effect you personally, and maybe even a look at things we can obsess over once the election is over.

On the fiction side, I have been very busy...holy geez!

The issue is that I'm constantly coming up with new ideas, or developing my old ideas . It is theold ideas that get me in trouble. Sometimes the changes change where my story was even going. Sometimes I will have five different versions of a scenes written while I was in various moods and situations. Then I have to decide what stays and what goes. Sometimes it is a simple thing of yeah I came up with this but I wouldn't be comfortable with just putting it out there. Other times I'm okay with it, but I wonder how it will be received by the people closest to me.Then sometimes I just have to decide what will make the story better. I it is a lot of work and many times always on my mind...it is hard because I spend so much time on it, and my paid gigs aren't always my priority!

Challenging Your Writing

Blogging is easy for me. In an attempt to start shaking up my writing, I decided to start doing a writing workshop and trying some new writing prompts. Trying to get my blog back up in shape has been harder than I thought it would be. I am feeling like writing again, but I need variety. It has been fun trying new topics. Still, I was always picking the safe ones. This week, the list came to my inbox and the one I was instantly drawn to was of course the easy one. However, there was another prompt that was nagging at me. "What I lack" Here is the deal: I don't want to always write about negative stuff. This would be a negative blog. That wasn't the worst of it. I knew it was a topic I would have a hard time putting into words. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I am just  not sure how to put some of these feelings in words I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't shake it. I wrote the blog. It is far from the best thi...

What Does One Wear??

On May 21, I am attending Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio's Commencement. My mother was a student there, and she would have graduated this May. The college has decided to award her a posthumous degree. This is very kind, and we are honored they have decided to do this. Today I was trying to  figure out my plan for that day, when it occurred to me: What does one wear to accept a degree for their mother (who died nearly a year ago)? Well black doesn't seem fitting (and there goes half my wardrobe) It cannot be too short It cannot be to low cut (there goes most of the rest of my wardrobe). So what are my options? Very obviously this is not going to work: Maybe something like this, but not in Black? This had potential...until I noticed those were skulls not polka dots This has potential Then I was distracted by this (but....it is on sale!!) Okay...more like this? I just don't know...any suggestions?
