After holding this test copy in my hands and reading it page by page I noticed one spelling issue and realized I want to change the order, swap out a poem or two. ItContinue reading “Project update!”

Thrown
A stone is thrown The die is cast Your cards are dealt Fate is sealed Signed Stamped Delivered. A stone is thrown The water ripples, ever changing Never the same Because a stone is thrown in the pool of fate. ~A
The book
Another universe Another time. The words on these pages take me somewhere sublime. — Imagination run wild, A shelf of dreams we’ve compiled. — The sounds of turning thoughts between fingers, The smell of a world within your hands. The feelings linger, With the image of distant lands. ~A
Car thoughts/brief history
I hear the term “shower thoughts” on occasion, but most of my thinking is done when I’m driving my son to and from school. It’s about a 15-20 minute drive (depending on how fast you drive…) and today I thought, How beautiful this is. It’s not sunny, but there is still so much life alongContinue reading “Car thoughts/brief history”
Big Dreams
Everyone has dreams of what they want in life, and that’s great. Without dreams we feel as though we have no purpose, nothing to strive for, no hope for a better tomorrow.

Self-worth; what is it?
I am often at war with myself. Feeling as though I don’t deserve, that what I feel I deserve, is just a want. I don’t deserve to be loved. I just want to be loved. Or I don’t deserve respect from others, I just want it, and wish I had it. I know I’m notContinue reading “Self-worth; what is it?”

Life gets hard, life gets messy, little things will build up and turnContinue reading “Sunday motivation”
A sneak peek into my book: This is Life
Chapter 1 Too young to remember The smell of smoke, dust, and cat urine. The sound of loud drums that rattled my chest, and a rumbling pain in my belly. The music stopped, and I was told to go away, it was time for the adults to be alone. So I went outside, crawling aroundContinue reading “A sneak peek into my book: This is Life”
Writing about writing
I have always loved writing, and telling the stories I had in my head, so English class in high school was pretty fun for me. Well when we got to creative free writing anyway. And I will never forget the gripping horror/suspense story I wrote. I think I will try to recreate it soon andContinue reading “Writing about writing”
