Follow the Fortune Cookie

by LdyPhoenix

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #1523686

Nothing like a fortune cookie to make a year intriguing.

Blog image for 2011. Created by Kiyasama

Many thanks to kiyasama for the lovely image gracing this blog!
A huge thank you to GabriellaR45

for the shiny yellow awardicon to bring the new year!

It was a simple crack of an ancient fortune cookie that sparked the courage to keep writing on the eve of the new year. This is a test to see what a tiny slip of white paper can do for someone who was ready to hand in the towel, allowing every self-doubt and negative thought to take control.

May this mark a beginning; a fresh start for the potential of something messy, dented around the edges, and absolutely all mine.

Here's to blogging in 2011 (and 2012).

A Rising Star Award for Best Short Story in June 2011

In response to "Huh? It's February?"

That is an amazing achievement. As for the hard work you've been doing I know you'll get through it. Why? Because you're awesome sauce. I'm always around for an intellectual boost when I don't have my nose in a book, as I have lately. Hopefully the sleep study will be able to curb that insomnia. I think at least one of us should be able to get a good nights rest, lol. Again, congrats on that win.

Hi LdyPhoenix
I like the way you think. (absract) & (like me).
One day in your future, someone may ask you, "Hey! LdyPheonix, remember the time you set time on fire?" And you'll say...."I see a little silhouetto of a man,Scaramouche! Scaramouche! will you do theFandango?!"

Thanks for the article, Thundersbeard 30DBC JULY HOST

!

Now, see, if I had gone into Eschatology, I would have career expansion possibilities! If the darn calendar is off by a sixty days, I could write two books minimum.

Darn those practical people! LOL

In response to "601"

Love the way your blog opens, with the image and the brief introduction. Also love your sig.

Just reading through this day, it seems no wonder you suffer from insomnia.

From the sounds of it, you are on a constant roll between schools, starting a business, prepping for NaNoMo, reviewing . . . and why do I have a sense that this isn't even the whole of it????

Do you even have time to stop for a soothing cup of something at the day's end? Time to unwind? To stretch out on a comfy chair? To watch the stars come out? Take a few deep, deep breaths?

Hope you get into the rhythm of a few zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz to stay energized for the fullness of your life.

Best to you in getting through your finals and reaching your NaNoMo goals.
