    • Bushwhacking, Booze, and Nothing to Lose September 2, 2010
      Song of the day: Nothing to Lose by Operator Okay, tell me the truth. Do you ever have a moment where you just stop and wonder why it is that you write? Why do you subject yourself to torturous, lonely hours of work, real work, on a book where often there seems so little reward? [...] […]

    • A Behind the Scenes Look at the Bustle September 2, 2010
      Okay, so it’s a horrible pun. But really, if you’re looking at the historical development over time of the bustle, could you resist?

    And so it appears, she’s back…

    So I do appear to be back.
    Just as upon waking, we can think of the 24 brand new hours before us, now that the year is almost over, we can think of the upcoming New Year full of promises.

    I do look back to see if I met my goals and to see what has happened and not. This year, like the previous ones, was full of surprises, most were unthinkable and wild, some positive and some negative.

    There are so many things we cannot control in life, that I think it matters to attempt to work hard on those things we can control. Have I learned something from the bad things that have happened, even if just to know that I am tough and can survive?

    Did I work as hard as I could when I did have a choice? Did I take time to find joy in the smallest blessings of my life?

    Life is so incredibly short. How awful it would be to look back and see missed opportunities and lack of happiness from focusing solely on those things we cannot control.

    What is the one thing you can control today that will bring you joy and take you closer to your wildest dream?

    Another scene written on Ancient Secrets today, which takes me to about 3500 words this week, which is not so bad considering I have a full house for the Holidays.

    Blessed Be
