Why yes, I AM still alive.
I needed a break from deviantART. I admit that I will never be as active here as I used to be. I guess that's a part of growing up. I have different priorities now.
Life's been a little bumpy lately. I've done a lot of thinking and made a lot of realizations about myself and my world. I think time away from the internet at large has helped a lot with that. It's amazing what influences you on a daily basis.
Yes, I am still writing. No, I probably won't be posting anything on here for a while. I'm hoping to be published, and I'd rather focus on that than on writing only to entertain my readers on a daily or weekly basis. I do my best work when I can take my time. Basically, I need to get back to a place where I am writing because it's what I LOVE to do...not because it's what I feel like I have to do for those I love.
In short, I just wanted to stop by and let you all know that I'm still keeping on keeping on. I'll be around every so often to check messages and such.
NaNoWriMo and General Update
National Novel Writing Month is proving difficult this year. Between mandatory overtime at work and the pain I'm constantly in, I'm exhausted and don't have much time to write. I'm still going to try my hardest, but we'll see how it shapes up. The first chapter of Sparrow is up. I'm relatively pleased with it.
Speaking of the pain...can't remember if I mentioned it in my last journal or not. It's everywhere...all across my body, though mainly in my neck and torso. Tender to the touch. Some days are better than others. Today is NOT one of those days. I stayed home from work. Pain was too bad. Can barely focus on anything, so I figured it prob
And All That Jazz
Life's keeping me exceedingly busy, again. Noooot a whole lot of time for much of anything besides working, cleaning, cooking, and sleeping. Don't even have much time for texting anymore, either...and we all know how much I hate phonecalls. ...even though I should work harder on keeping in contact with people. By the end of the work day, all I want to do is sleep.
We moved to a bigger apartment in the middle of last month. September 15th, to be exact. Love love love the new place, but it's still quite a mess. It's just all the little things that stack up, and we don't have much room for displaying things, so there's no place to put the littl
Hey Kindle Users!
I need some feedback, here.
I have a Kindle Keyboard 3G...unfortunately, the screen got busted up. I won't go into detail...let's just say I was an idiot for not keeping it in its case while around small children. :(
My dilemma is this. I love my kindle. It's fantastic for reading and audio books at work. I want to replace my kindle with another one.
Do I have any Kindle Fire users out there? I'd like to get some input about those. I've been looking around online, but I've never really trusted the opinions of websites...I'd rather get a personal response.
I'm especially looking for anyone who's had one of the more basic kindles and upgrad
Oh, Hello
*sigh*
I've had no time to write. At all. Life is busy, and stressful, and...well, just life in general. Ups and downs. Happy days, sad days. You know the drill.
5 hour a week overtime is a strain. I shouldn't complain...some people at my office apparently are on 12-hour a week minimum overtime. You just never really realize how precious time is until it starts getting taken away from you. I'm endlessly exhausted. It's money, though, so that's the bonus, I guess.
We got a kitten! A friend at work has a friend who works for a shelter, but the shelter was too full to house one little kitten, so she hand-fed her, litter-box trained her, and t

You have my number if you ever need me I'm sure.
And yes, breaks are lovely things.
