I am reading book #7 for this year and it is called THE FICTION CLASS. I had just read the first "chapter" of the book and in the end of it, an assignment for the class is posted. What's cool is that after every segment where the main character is doing her class, a new… Continue reading Assignment 1

Today is a happy day
Even though I had a nightmare that resulted in bad emotions connected to a happy time in my life (which I thought I resolved, but apparently my psyche didn't think so), today is starting to look good. I'm about to read my 7th book this year which is a helluva lot better than last year.… Continue reading Today is a happy day
This is Sad…
Lately, all of my posts have been about the books I've read so far. Isn't it sad that I've been going through books like toilet paper and have yet to really make any update on the personal life or the life of my own literary creations? Well, here's the update (in case you were wanting… Continue reading This is Sad…
After 34 pages and over 13k words
You would think that after a first draft and writing the second one in over two months, I'd be a lot farther along. Sadly, that isn't the case. I think in part it has to do with the subject matter. For some reason, I love writing in a more serious overtone than what I am… Continue reading After 34 pages and over 13k words
FINALLY!
For a while now I've been going crazy trying to meet deadlines, trying to finish what I started last June. My biggest fear is that I'll never finish this draft and I will forever be known as a first drafter; nothing more. I went through the drastic change of denying Facebook because I was beginning… Continue reading FINALLY!
A 60 Second Thought
When I was thirteen, I was diagnosed with depression. I had the works: the uncontrollable inner anger, the complete self hatred, and the unbridled need to end it all. Through long periods of self loathing and the need to save myself, I went through therapists with no real complete luck. Medication helped for the most… Continue reading A 60 Second Thought
An interesting blog idea
I have found that I love blogging. There's something about displaying my opinions and having people read them that makes me feel empowered. I find that writing also helps me organize my feelings and thoughts (if you have read the earlier more ranty posts, you can see that is a perfect example). Also, let's be… Continue reading An interesting blog idea
Deadlines are called that for a reason
I hate deadlines. Seriously, who doesn't? I mean, when you separate the word DEADLINE into two words you get DEAD and LINE. It literally means that you are at the end of the line. Can't move forward. You are going straight to Jail and not passing Go. The real issue about deadlines? I have yet… Continue reading Deadlines are called that for a reason
Next Year’s Going to Be Great
I am a big list maker and I love making a list at the beginning of every year. Instead of one resolution, I can have up to many. Last January 1st, I wrote down two things: 1. Be a good mommy. 2. Finish a first draft. I can happily say that I've done both. A… Continue reading Next Year’s Going to Be Great
55 Days and Counting
It will be 55 days until January 1st 2013. It will also be 55 days until my Second Draft deadline. I had to give myself one or else I would never finish it. The real sad thing is, I'm still stuck in chapter one blues. It should be considered a real disorder, it feels that… Continue reading 55 Days and Counting
