Month: November 2009

Well, well, the year is moving fast, isn't it? I can't believe how much time has passed and all I've been through this year, so I thought I'd write a little post about all the things I'm thankful for, since it's Thanksgiving and all.I am thankful for:1. New friends I've met who have become a… Continue reading 10 Things I Hate…er…Am Thankful For This Thanksgiving

Far too many times have I witnessed a writer lose everything they've worked on over months of blood, sweat, and tears. It happened a couple of years ago on Writer's Cafe with the Great Delete. Several writers hadn't backed up their poems and stories, not even in a Word doc on their computers. That just… Continue reading Back Up Your Data

Before the clusterfuck of yesterday, I'd spent the week in Tucson visiting HC Zuerner. It was meant to be a write-in for NaNoWriMo, but we didn't get much writing done due to the awesomeness of Dragon Age: Origins.

I know I'm not alone in my experiences as of late, but that's not exactly how it feels these days. I feel more alone… Continue reading My Life in Hell: Welcome Back!

I know, my blogsite is pink now. It frightens me as well. Don't ask. I only have so many templates to choose from and I'm not all that knowledgeable in the CSS department or whatever it is. See? I don't even know. It's late for me and I've taken a sleep aid that's now kicking… Continue reading NaNoWriMo

Night of the Living Dead Wow, what an interesting night that was! Suffice it to say, I actually enjoyed myself. This is a good thing for Tranzylvania (I spelled it wrong last time) because I'm not going to write a crappy post about them like I did back in March, here (I still love that comic,… Continue reading Hallowe’en Eve at Tranzylvania

My heart cries In bittersweet sorrow Skin aching to feel Your touch again My eyes scream But look so hollow Lips needing to taste Your scent again What's past is done Nothing left to follow Leaving whispers to fall On deaf ears Now I am gone My heart, I will swallow And hope I don't… Continue reading Bittersweet
