The Blank Page

April 2, 2012

I’ve been writing ever since I knew how to form a sentence.  Hell, I think my imaginary play activities prior to that were just priming me for writing.  Some people can remember the first time they did something important–drove a car, had a job, kissed someone–and while I have plenty of those, I cannot remember [...]

Random Thoughts

October 26, 2010

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday.  I took the day off in order to take the cats to the behavioral veterinarian.  It was well worth the trip, though.  I think we finally have the beginnings of a plan in place that may just work. Having the day off yesterday, I met my parents for [...]

My Angle

September 9, 2010

“Cock your hat–angles are attitudes.” – Frank Sinatra It comes as no shock to anyone that reads this here blog that I want to be a writer some day, in addition to the fifteen other things I am pursuing.  But writing is my passion, my release, my all-encompassing drive.  And for weeks now, I’ve been [...]

You Write Like a Lawyer

August 5, 2010

Yesterday I had to turn in my take home final in my non-stats class.  Thankfully it wasn’t too painful.  But at the same time, we got our literature reviews back and I got a 96% on mine.  Underneath the grade were comments.  One of those comments, which was meant to be very kind and generous, [...]

Mini Posts: The Tired, Stressed and Jealous Edition

May 20, 2010

Post 1: Sometimes I think I’m running out of things to write.  The truth is that I’m not.  I just get so wrapped up in other facets of my life that I often forget to make note of things that I want to write about.  And then I get stuck on a morning like this [...]

Words Are But A Drop of Ink

February 17, 2010

With all of the intervening issues surrounding Rocky the Dog and The Mister’s Dad, I’ve failed to tell you all about an important first in my life.  During the last weekend in January, I heard my words performed by someone else for the first time in my life.  And, yes, it was as out-of-body-experience-esque as [...]

New Beginnings: Drop of Ink, A Bloggers’ and Writers’ Journal

February 5, 2010

It must seem like I never have enough to do.  At least that’s what one would think once they found out I’m starting a new project.  Do I strive to be an overactive overachiever?  No.  Well…maybe.  Either way, something new and exciting is on the horizon and I couldn’t be happier. This is the GRAND [...]

I Believe, Part Ten

January 28, 2010

I believe that my words have a future.  I’m just not sure what that future is yet. I believe that McDonald’s breakfast is a saving grace. I believe that all too often I want the future to come all too quickly. I believe in the power of tea–iced or hot–to make a day complete. I [...]

Random Thoughts

January 27, 2010

I used to think the word “backbiter” had something to do with gay men.  I only learned what it really meant when I embarrassed myself after someone used it.  I was thinking of that this morning while I had a Johnny Cash song in my head. I never get calls on my work phone.  Yesterday [...]

In My Own Way

January 5, 2010

“But if you try…sometimes…you get what you need.” I kind of lost all inhibition over the holiday and gave up checking up on the internet obsessively like I do here at work on a daily basis.  Nevertheless, the world kept spinning on it’s axis, the sky didn’t fall on Chicken Little and VH1 continued to [...]
