Pen to Paper


Laurie was saying yesterday that I should be a writer. I love you Laurie. I want to be, and I'm going to keep writing and trying to make it profitable. In the meantime I've got to find something to bridge the gap.

I thought maybe some of you writers out there would like to see some fabulous writing things I've come across?

Here's a website that tells you whom you write like.

I copied and pasted my last post and it told me I write like Cory Doctorow. I did it a few weeks ago when I discovered the site and it told me the same thing.

Who the heck is Cory Doctorow?

I don't know but it must be true. Mr. Survival is headed to the library to take back the overdue books he and Miss got on their last date together. Maybe he'll pick up a book or two of his for me. It's probably a mass conspiracy to get us all to read new authors, but it feels a bit like having my palm read or something. Very exciting.

The second is a lovely sentiment. About writing and friendship. The whimsical illustration above was on the post.

    Writing is a great release!
    I'd like to write childrens books, about things that scare them, and make them relatable. I will one day :o)

    I've never heard of Cory Doctorow either ;o)

    Cory Doctorow? Amazing - teen boy story equivalent of Stephanie Meyer. His books involve computer hacking, technical stuff and lots of action. How do I know? I have teenage sons.

    Laurie is correct, you have a way with words. I hope your words find a way to not only bring you joy, but perhaps some cash?

    I agree you should try writing for profit! You do have a way with words and are gifted with expressing yourself!

    Never heard of Cory Doctorow either.

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
