  |  Missy's Memoirs
A peek into the fractured mind of Missy. (Seen through the eyes of an innocent bystander.) |
 To Whom it may concern, Let me begin by introducing myself. For those of you who haven't a clue as to who you are dealing with, some may consider you either very fortunate, or the unluckiest people on the planet. If you do know me, you will not be surprised by anything that I write while I'm down here in my little dungeon. How do you like the decor? I did it myself. That's enough idle chit-chat for now, on with the show. Oh, did you pay that little bony fellow by the door? If you did, you need to get your money back. He isn't a part of this story. On to the introduction. My name is Missy. It's spelled pretty much the way it sounds. I've often been torn between keeping the 'y' at the end, or replacing it with 'ie'. The 'ie' seems a little cutesy to me, so I don't think at my age I need to worry about being that kind of cute anymore. Oops, I do ramble on sometimes. Now, lets see...What else do I think might interest you...hum.. Oh, I know. Maybe you want to know about why I'm here. Yes, no, maybe? If you picked the last two, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that one person sitting in the back overruled all of you. Way to go Freddie! I joined WDC because I wanted people to read my writing. I have to admit that I was kinda cocky about it. At that point, I was just about to be as good, if not better than Steven King. I often imagined him reading one of my stories and calling me up for advice. Needless to say, that hasn't happened in the last five years, but I'm still waiting. I had to leave before I even got started, but I finally made it back in one piece, I might add. I've taken some hard knocks on my writing, but I've seen steady improvement in it and my reviewing, so I'm still hopeful that I will soon have Mr. King shaking in his shoes. If I can't, I may wind up in jail for stealing them. I can see the headlines now, 'Crazy obsessed stalker bares King's feet'. Well, I think that by now you have a little bit of an idea of what you are dealing with. If you continue to read any further, I will not hold myself personally responsible for any of the things you find. Does anyone have any Duct Tape? This little voice in my head is getting on my nerves! Signed, Milly (AKA: the little voice inside my head) |

| I've found myself a little bored, so I thought I'd hop over here and try to scratch out some words in this thing-a-ma-jig for a little while. I'm not really inspired, but after 70 days, I think it's about time. Life seems to be moving forward, and the earth is still rotating, so that's good. Speaking of the earth...Isn't it a funny expression when people say, 'I thought you feel off the face of the earth'? How do you fall off of the face of the earth? Is it even possible? I'd like for someone to tell me where it is so I can at least see if it's possible. So...I guess you'd like to know how I've been. Even if you don't care, I'm going to tell you anyway. Why else would you be here, right? I've been hot, hot, and even hotter for the last couple of days. They don't kind around with the heat around here. I wish I knew where they kept the control. It's probably hidden away in some 50 foot thick safe 20 miles below sea level. I really wish I was an explorer. That would be the find of the millennium. I'd set that baby at 76 year round and kill the little guy that's handling it now. He's doing a lousy job. Winter's too cold, and summer's too hot. Spring and fall are okay, but they can get a little iffy and unpredictable at times. The other week I finally decided to do more with my writing than just ignore it. It feels that way sometimes. I've forgotten what half of them are about until I go back and read them after a review. It's so sad. You would think that if I felt the stories were important enough to write, they would be important enough to remember, right? I wonder if King has this problem? Who am I kidding? He can't forget his stories since they are everywhere, then you think about how a lot of them are subtly linked to other ones. I think that's pretty amazing. Yep...I think he's one hell of a writer.  As I was saying just before I interrupted myself, I'm going to try to do some serious editing of my stories to get them ready to be sent off in hopes that they will be published. I've sent off a couple that I think are pretty well taken care of, but what do I know? They'll more than likely be rejected, so I can go over them again after that. I really like the fact that I can call myself a writer. Everyone who isn't one thinks that it is so easy. That really gets on my nerves. The way I figure it, it's like everything other skill that we are born with. Some people who would like to be writers haven't the first clue on how to do it. They think you just type out 'Once upon a time', some other words, and 'The End' when you're done. They don't realize that there is more to it than that. It is a job even if nobody else thinks so. Just because it doesn't always pay the bills, doesn't mean that it isn't hard work. Oh, yes, a lot of people want to be writers because you can get famous and make a lot of money. You can make money, but you have to know how to write...DUH! I used to only write because I had the need to get a story out, and I didn't worry about things like getting published. Over the last couple of weeks I've decided to give it a shot. I figure I can write at least as good as some of the people that are being published lately. I've learned so much over the last year that I have a really hard time reading for my enjoyment. There have been a few that I would have loved to smacked the writer, editor, and publishers for even considering it ready for print. After a few of those, I figure I have a pretty good shot. The only thing that may hold me back is that I'm not sure if I can write a whole novel. I'm working on one with my bestest friend, Joy, and I'm trying another one on my own. It gets hard on me after the first couple of chapters, so keep your fingers crossed. I'm about to start on chapter 4, and I have no idea where it's going. Well, I guess that kinda makes up for all of the entries I missed. I wish you all the best of luck with your own writing.  Till next time, keep the words flowing... |

Further back in my blog I tell about Millie and Hermie, and explain who they are, but I'll tell you so you don't have to go back through all of that.
