Pie in the sky for the new year, part two

In yesterday’s post, I was talking mostly about writing. I have not done much of it since my medical crisis except for my daily posts. I did try–truly I did. But it just did not come together, no matter how I tackled it. I’m hoping that it’ll be different this time–or at least that I’ll… Continue Reading

New year, pop culture, and me

I’m not a big pop culture person. I quit watching movies several years ago, and I have been sporadic in my book reading.

I t hink I’ll skip it and come back to it tomorrow. I’m back. A quick side note (yes, this early): My sleep has… Continue Reading

My actual goals for my re-birthday

Ok. No more fucking around. I’m going to lay out my goals for this year. Starting with the more important ones and then meandering down to the ones that are just rattling around in my brain. Here is my post from yesterday, which is vaguely related. 1. Write the first draft of my novel/book. This… Continue Reading
