.:Dreams and Swords:.

by LdyPhoenix

Rated: GC · Book · Biographical · #1478547

"All books are either dreams or swords."

"All books are either dreams or swords. You can cut, or you can drug, with words."
~Amy Lowell

These are my thoughts on my life and my writing, and how both seem to mix together in an odd confluence of events. I also thought this would be a good place to talk about things I've read both in books and on WDC. Combining all of my addictions all in one place. I warn you now that this will probably make no sense whatsoever and will often times leave you confused.

Welcome to my world.

"The soul, secure in her existence, smiles at the drawn dagger and defies its point. The stars shall fade away, the sun himself grow dim with age and nature sink in years, but thou shall flourish in immortal youth, unhurt amid the war of elements, the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds."
~ Joesph Addison

The journey continues:

Defying Fortune

(18+)
"Still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise."

In response to "Love - A Rant and Plea"

I'm glad you were able to kick that emotional duo's ass because I love you and that will never change. You have stuck it out with me when things were at its worst, and for that if not everything else you will always have my heart. I love you, there is no other woman for me. I hope I have proven that much to you and if you don't realize now, but in time you are the woman that I need and want.

In response to "Out With The Old..."

As I go about my daily routine here on WDC. I come across your blog that I tend to leave a comment here and there. It is only fitting that if you do indeed start a new blog it should be something like "A Phoenix Rising" or something to that effect symbolizing the blog you once had gone and a new one rising to be twice as better than this one. I even took the time to look for a pic haha. Anyways, that's my suggestion. Although I already have another blog on here

lol Catch ya later friend.

In response to "Final Stretch"

Not making 50 is less a setback than making 30 is an achievement and you're probably right to be pleased with what you've accomplished. I don't know if you've taken that much on before but if this was the first then you've discovered the level of discipline it will take to go forward with "exorcising" that other ton of stories. (I love the way you used that term) Anyway, if you have that many seeds....write on and scatter those demons.

In response to "Internal Editor"

You just have to keep writing let that internal editer rest until after NaNo is over and I know it's going to be a pain to do but give it a try you'll find it works. Now, if only I can listen to my own words lol. Good luck writing.

In response to "In Passing."

The passing of a loved one is never easy. I'll pray for your family in this rough time and wish you all the best for the future. I'm always here if you ever need someone to talk to.

In response to "Politics: How To Raise My Blood Pressure"

*applause* *applause*
Excellent rant!! If we have to keep using the evil insurance companies (as opposed to a national system that other countries have) then they indeed need some ironclad regulations.
And the incivility and disrespect toward our president is way over the top.
I'm sorry about your family health care situation.
