TORN

…remember that song? Can’t remember her name – an Australian, I think – but anyway the one where she was “cold and lying naked on the floor”? Well, I kind of feel that way. Not necessarily naked on the floor, but torn. I know, y’all are like enough with the job thing already. I’m still [...]

Getting Back Into the Swing of Things…

Is harder than you (I) think. Not the day job, that’s a given. You must be at work by X and you work until Y, sometimes till Z. (Since I’ve returned from vacation, there’s been a lot of Z’s). In all honesty you’re so busy catching everything up, it’s pretty easy to get into the [...]

A Lonely Road

For years I tried writing on my own.  I mean we all write our own stories, but I wasn’t a part of any groups and didn’t know anyone else who shared my dream.  It was a lonely place to be, but I did finish my first manuscript.  The feeling was beyond words. J  Finding someone [...]
