I Have A Dream (and the fine print)

Posted on March 20, 2011 at 11:16am 2 Comments

Writing is a passion that drives me to the brink, and sometimes over. I hate it, love it, covet it, dream it, and cry over it. I found a voice, maybe three, sometimes four, by writing. It's all true what the established writers say to those of us up and coming, just write and do it often, as much as you can even when you don't want to, can't or won't.



I found writing during the worst time of my life. I was in my very own personal perfect storm with me in the middle of it…

Loving Your Flaws

Posted on March 19, 2011 at 10:42am 1 Comment



A friend said that to me a over a glass of Sonoma Cutrer, Chardonnay. We were catching up on the years between her marriage and migration to the East Coast, and my marriage and subsequent migration to London. Life was the broader topic of our conversation, but by glass three we had drilled down to our personal frustrations with our own selves, such as our life, shoe size, the breadth of derriere, the loose skin and tighter…

Journal Madness

Posted on March 17, 2011 at 4:22pm 1 Comment

 I keep a journal in my black messenger bag that I lug back and forth with me to the office.  I am not a journal-er, but I write every day in e-mode.  I want desperately to write in a journal using my sexy hunter green Mont Blanc or my vamp-red Cross Fountain Pen that is heavenly to hold.  It's a commitment that is difficult to keep.  My handwriting is all loops and dips, it angles left and right, and is a combo of printing and cursive.  I'm sure an expert's report after a cursory analysis…

Thanks, Brenda. I appreciate the kind words.

I couldn't agree more. I did love Hollywood and LA proper, but I am so very happy to be live in South Pas & getting to know all the cities around here. I was ready for smaller, more manageable.

How long have you lived in London? I'm sad to say that I haven't been there since I first traveled after high school. I never thought it would be so long. But, then when I spent a year with friends in NZ, I never, ever thought it would be going on 26 years and I still hadn't gotten back to see them! I still check my pocket book regularly to see if my shekels are adding up—hope never dies, or you die trying, eh?

Cheers

Hi Brenda, I don't blog outside of the few posted here on shewrites.

I'm studiously avoiding getting sucked in to the blog-sphere until I finish one of the three novels I have going. When I do the blog shall be called, SAID IT ALL: TOOK BACK HALF. Cause that's the way I roll. Mea culpa is my motto!

Hey, Brenda ! Thanks for the friend request. I look forward to getting to know you better here on She Writes !

Is it just me? I tried to leave a comment on your latest post about where you were ten years ago and couldn't find the link. Great post. Wow...what a rough time.
