Sure Successes
I am always perfectly capable of being impractical and imperfect. If there’s ever been anything that I’ve been consistent with – it’s never completing anything. I have several totes filled with incomplete ideas; and lots of sketchpads full of unfinished art. I’m still staring at the manuscript for a novel I originally published in 2013.… Continue reading

Where Are You?
Time: 9:17am Date: September 27, 2021 — I wanted to start off by apologizing for disappearing like I did. My mind tells me to say that I won’t be ‘waxing lyrical’ about what I’ve endured since I’ve been gone. That’s not the correct way to address it though. It wasn’t ‘waxing’ anything. I’ve been through… Continue reading

The Saga Begins: Time Constraints
I have a feeling that sleep deprivation will soon be a close friend of mine. At least until I get more into the swing of things. Or maybe not. I was already battling fatigue before I got into this class. Now, struggling to keep both halves of myself working together is resulting in less hours… Continue reading

Missed Moments
Time: 10:45PM Date: July 19, 2021 It’s strange. I know that I have a problem, but the problem itself doesn’t seem nearly as big and scary as it was before. I know it’s not good that I’ve been so quiet, but I’ve struggled some days to keep going forward. To my friends, I smile, even… Continue reading
Hey, Miss J!
