I promised myself the other day that I would write at least one page a day. I am sick of starting stories and not finishing them or becoming overwhelmed by them and their possibilities. So I am going to do one page a day of the same story. If I can do more great, but I am going to force myself to squeeze out at least one page. That way the task of writing something really substantial does not seem as daunting and so therefore I am enjoying it more.
When I was a young teenager I would spend hours after school and late into the night writing. It was my anti drug. I used writing as a form of escapism. After I got a car and friends though writing was put on the back burner and remained there as I fell deeper into the trappings of a generally promiscuous and self destructive lifestyle. It took two years of me being drug free and drinking 95% less than I used to to have the desire to write come back to me.
And come back it did!! It feels awesome!!
I am currently writing R0nin a vampire story because through talking with him we discovered we had basically the same vampire fantasies. Speaking of R0nin, he has not been around to chat with me on AIM because he discovered WoW.
Usually when I write I stop what I am doing in a fit of depression thinking, 'Why I am doing this!? No one will ever read it! What's the point!!' But now I have a point so it's all good.
I am considering re-entering the work force. I was offered an interview at a bank the other day. It would be full time so I would have to put Wolfie in daycare, but I think he could really use interaction with other children his age. That and we could really use the money. Also, I like working. As much as I cherish this time at home I generally feel useless and don't like the fact that I am not bringing any money in. I don't know how easy it's going to be to find a job in this poor excuse for an economy, but trying is the first step towards failure they say.
I had another go at making biscuits last night. Third time's a charm for it was an epic win! I just finished my last two for breakfast and am considering making another batch they were so delicious. I know bleached flour isn't very good for you, but damn biscuits are good.
You should really buy some prints!! Again, I hate whoring myself out, but I am still trying to raise money for my trip back north. Help Iggy have a good time!!!!!

The good thing about being broke is not being able to pay for that time suck...even though I miss it.
I miss working because it was nice to bring home money and get out of the house, but then again it is nice to have lots of time to do school work (even though I still wait til the last minute). I wouldn't mind being a stay at home mom though until my kid was old enough to go to pre-school (but I doubt that will happen).
Good luck with the story writing!!!
I've had my kids in some partial care from age 2 onward. As long as the people are good, they enjoy having other kids and other toys
I love me some bisquick biscuits and re: the bleached flour, you can always do a partial ratio, like 1/4 or 1/3 whole wheat.
please feel free to dispense any advice you have to share with me as well!
