Holidays and Love

This song is so sweet and wonderful it makes me think of Love and all the possibilities.....No matter who you love, love with everything you have..........now I can write my most memorable love scene.....

what im thankful for

There are so many things to be thankful for.....my family, my friends, my job and my health....These things I'm thankful for everyday....
This year I'm thankful for so much more....
The friends that I have made in the last six months have brought so much to my life I don't even know where to start...
They have shown me hope in hopeless situations....pride when others have knocked them down..strength that would beat down a weaker person...unconditional support when I felt like I couldn't see the outcome of my dream....

I am proud and humbled by the friends I have made.....
Thanks to all of you....May the coming year give you all that you deserve...

(((hugs)))

Oh I just love when I am into my story 10,000 words and my characters decide they want to go in a different direction...and this is my nano story...or was I should say.  Perhaps they got tired of waiting for great things to pop into my head for them, who knows....but change it I will...because (don't tell them) I think it's gonna be pretty damn hawt!!! Just gotta wait and see what happens next.............

Why I write

I debated for many days over whether to mention on here the bruhaha on Goodreads.  I realized it would be a moot point as that ship has sailed, sunk, rebuilt and sailed again.  There is nothing I can say that hasn't been said, argued, misinterpreted and debated.  So I wont.  What I will say is this.  For as long as I can remember I have wanted to write.  My whole life I have had an imagination that was on fast forward.  Everything isn't black and white to me, nor even shades of gray.  It is purple, or amethyst,  blue or sapphire, green or emerald.  I see the beauty in a world that to some is no longer beautiful.  I see young men and women struggling to find their own way in the world to only be told they don't belong, and not listening to the naysayers but standing up to their beliefs.  I see these same young people being torn down for that, physically, emotionally, painfully.  Some give up  when the tough times outweigh the good.  I have recently had the honor of meeting two such people.  One fought demons their whole life that most of us only ever read about.  In the end this person made the decision to let the demons win, and I mourn the loss of someone I could have called friend.  The other is a strong, courageous, beautiful young man who sees good in people even when most people see bad in him.  Ignorant because they don't understand what its like to grow up loving the same sex as themselves.  Or living inside a body they don't belong in.  I can not even imagine what their struggles are on a daily basis.  I have my own as does everyone else on this planet.  But I will not pass judgement on anyone else, I will stand and cheer for them for their bravery.  I will love them for their strength of character, and I will hold them when it gets to be too much.  After all one day one of my own children or my children's children may face these same conflicting moments.  I want them to know they are not alone.  Like every disease we strive to erase from mankind, intolerance should be up there with Cancer, Autoimmune diseases and AIDS....To my newest "nephew" you are a bright shining star and don't you ever forget that.  ((hugs))

Day 8

Well its day 8 of NaNo and Im making very slow progress as in a snail could type faster.  The sad thing is I have tons of ideas in my head its just getting them down on screen that is the problem.  But I refuse to give up, just not happening because I am not a quitter....That is all I have to say for now, as I really need to be writing....Hope those of you doing NaNo are having better luck than moi......

NaNo eek

Well I joined NaNo last week and up to now it has been slow moving..but I find myself with very little (for a change) to do this weekend so I am dedicating the next 48 hours to my writing...a first for me...I'm actually pretty excited about it as my Muse left without a forwarding address a few weeks ago and came back just last night....finally...the stubborn old bitch...the night she left, .she had the audacity to tell me that having three WIP's was completely unacceptable to her...that I need to focus on one couple at a time....I told her to take a hike...which she did...but now blessedly she is back and for now I will keep my mouth shut and do as she says....so which couple should I concentrate on hmmm....."ouch" ok she just hit me on the back of the head...time to get busy...have a lovely weekend everyone ;)
