My place to think with my fingers and who knows just what might pop up. |
| I'm just getting this all set up and I'm praying that I'm doing this right. I'm not sure just what all I'll talk about in here, so who knows. |
I really have to say that my mind has been doing a lot of thinking and working overtime. I have to say that the support that I've found here at WDC has been wonderful. I  WDC. My creativeness has really been coming out more, I just wish I could have paper and pen in hand all the time. I've been coming up with ideas and words, which lead into more and sometimes I just can't get to my paper fast enough! That really frustrates me. Since I've here, I've been able to write more and my husband has supported me more too (although, he's always been supportive -- it's just when he hears what other writers think and see how happy I get then he gets happy with me!) All of this has made a huge change in my writing habits and the way I look at my writing. I've even been more encouraging with my kids and their writing and my oldest daughter set up a port too. I have a dream -- someday I want to be published. I dream that someday I'll be able to walk into a big bookstore and I'll find on the shelf a book with my name on the front and my picture on the back. Someday! Quite a dream, one I know that I share with many other writers who call WDC home! |
| It's late and Sunday's nearly gone! It's finally time for bed and to be very honest, I don't want to go! NO I don't want to go. However, I really don't have much of a choice, for I, like most other people, have to go to a JOB and WORK. What really makes this suck, is the fact that I really hate what I'm doing, and I don't get paid enough to put up with all the crap I have to deal with most days. My dream is, that someday I won't have to deal with these people anymore and I can work at home! That's my happy plan at least. Well, that's about it for tonight -- my husband is ready to go to bed . . . . . . . . .  So, good-night! |
| I've been quite busy the last few days, when I've felt good. The pollen seems to be getting the better of me this season, and the older I get the harder the heat is on me too. It's the curse of living in the South. I have been writing though. Through it all my pen still seems to work. At least it hasn't given up on me! Anyway, I've posted two new poems in my portfolio that I'm hoping people will check out. Right now I'm suppose to be writing a "message" (i.e. sermon) for tomorrow morning, but haven't gotten a thing on paper as of yet and it's almost ten in the evening. Our church has dwindled down to a grand total of three. We've always been a small congregation. A few years ago we were averaging thirty-five to forty people and then in the last two years we went down to a small cell-group, home church setting. Then just a few months ago one of our core members past on and now one moved. Now it's just the widow, myself and my husband. To make matters even more complicated, just last week the widow told me that all the church things would have to move to my house because she is moving in with her daughter. This makes my, small single-wide trailer, the new location for our church! This probably should not be a problem since I've been so devoted to my church and doing as much as I could to keep things going despite all our setbacks; however, since it's up to our "pastor" and whether or not I'm officially ordained as a pastor or not (which I have not been, but have been filling the role on a regular bases) has me a little bothered the whole situation. Well, I may just be griping at this point, but I've needed to let off a little steam. I guess I should be writing something for my sermon in the morning, so I'm going to go for now. Thanks for listening! |
| It's one of those nights when I really should have gone to bed already, but I made some music cd's for my husband for his trip that he'll be taking next month and so he's been reviewing his cd's while I've been busy reading and reviewing. It's been kind of nice. I've found some great poetry to read and review tonight which has inspired me to write some more rhyming poems I started one today at work but wasn't really able to do much with it because I was so busy. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day! |
Today was just one of those days that you wish could just go on forever. My husband and I went out today on his motorcycle and just took a drive. We really didn't have one specific destination in mind, we just went down 41 to where ever we stopped. We don't drive down towards Atlanta much because neither of us care for city life. Too many people all crowed up on each other all the time seems to put them in a foul mood. He and I are a little too laid back for the hustle and bustle that goes along with big cities. The traffic wasn't too heavy and we made a few stops that were real nice, which included a nice dinner where we seemed to stuff ourselves to the maximum capacity level. By the time we were in Cartersville, the sun was going down and we had a relaxing drive home. Between the sun and the wind my face is a pretty shade of bright pink but, at least I'm not burnt. This is the time of year that I really enjoy now with my new husband. We love to just get out for a while and ride on the bike and let the wind blow away the stresses of the day. Maybe tomorrow we'll go out on some of the back-roads and I'll take my camera and pack a lunch. It's an idea |
| I wasn't able to do much writing at work today and I have to lead Bible Study tonight so I won't get much of a chance to review or write, but it's been a good day. The people who have reviewed my poem "Rock Thoughts" have been wonderful. The comments have been very positive and has really lightened my spirits. I loved writing this poem. Children love poetry and since I homeschooled all three of my kids and have tutored my two step kids, I've done a lot of reading with them. I wrote "Rock Thoughts" when I was working with my daughter on a poetry lesson. I wrote some other cute poems while I was teaching them how to write poetry. I'll have to put them in my portfolio soon. I'm quite inspired and if I get any more inspired I'm going to have to learn how to go to my job with no sleep so I can spend more time writing! |
| It's Tuesday and here in Georgia is been pretty hot! I had a long day at work in the heat and know it's only going to get worse since it's only the third day of June. My brain has been spinning in rhyme and meter for the last few days. I've been coming up with ideas for prose, but I haven't been able to put more than a few thoughts down at a time. This, of course, has made me frustrated with myself. I know I can get words on paper, I've done it before. At one time I had a novel half way written, but because of a very messy divorce and and other complication, I lost all my writing to a dumpster. When I think about all the hours of work that were lost it makes it difficult at times to believe in myself. I had saved every story I had ever written in school going as far back as second grade clear through my essays written in college. It will be impossible for me to ever replace the work that I had, but I also know that at some point I'll put words to paper that will make it much further than a dumpster. WDC has given me incentive and has brought my confidence back to where I know that I have the ability to write. I just need to figure out how to make more hours in my day! (And get my computer out of the living room where I can work without hearing the tv after we get home from work!) |
| She's getting married in October and I'm real happy about that. The kid/guy (he's 19, she's 17) is great and they've known each other for nearly 10 years and she's only moving in with his parents, but it just tears me apart because we had been separated for nearly four years already because of my messy divorce with her step father. One day I'll be able to really write about what happened, maybe? I'm not even sure if I should because of everything that happened. My ex raised my kids since my youngest was only 5 months old. When I got with him, it was because he and I had known each other for about 16 years and we were friends. I didn't think anyone would want me because I had three little kids and he said he loved me and wanted to raise my kids. After 12 years of marriage I found out that he was molesting my girls. A lot of things have happened since I found out and not many of them have been good, except I've gotten married again, this time to a wonderful man who loves me with all his heart and soul. But, I was separated from my two girls until my youngest moved back in with me last year, now she's left to be with the guy she'll marry in a few short months. I'm just not ready to let go! |
| Well, I'm online for a little while, in between the weather patterns. I've been making sure I have pen and paper at work and on every break I write something. In the last couple days I've started something about peace and trust. I thought it was going to be a short devotional; however, my sweet husband read it over and suggested that I use it as the opener to a longer piece of work. With this in mind, I believe that I'm in the process of writing an inspirational book, but well see how it goes. In my 45 years of life, I've been though quite a lot of situations to draw from, now I just have to figure out how to put it all together so it will make sense and still be an inspiration to more people than just me and my husband! Hang in there with me please! |
| Sometimes the internet gets on my nerves and this has been the case for the last week! I just haven't been able to get online. But, I've been productive at least. I've written some more poems. The bad part is, my brain has been working overtime while I've been at work and it's hard for me to get things down on paper while I'm doing my job. I keep waiting for my boss to come ask me what I'm doing. Anyway, I'm going to post my poems. |
