It’s been extremely quiet on this blog for many months now for a good reason.
I am busy.
Not in that “little moments of life” way but in a work, school, and quest for creativity kind of way.
I have been very fortunate to pick up extra hours at work lately and have been close to forty hours [...]

What We Owe & What We Are Owed
Tonight, as I tore through for what has to be the 15,000,000th time Melanie Rawn’s excellent Dragon Prince trilogy, I wondered about the third Exiles book she was going to write. If you’re not familiar with her work or the situation, here’s a brief summary:
Rawn wrote “The Ruins Of Ambrai” in 1994 and “The Mageborn [...]

It’s Poll Time
So, apparantly, I have to write a persuasive research paper in two weeks. That was all the instruction I was given. Needless to say, I’m a bit miffed. Also, I need your help.
Below is a poll with four different thesis topics. Vote for the one you think I should do as I can’t give a [...]

~Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Douglas Adams

To Cat With Love
I had been saving this poem (rough draft that is) for a special present to Cat but I think it needs to go out to her now.
Of Autumn’s Song
A picture in my mind appears,
rows of naked sentry trees,
the ground, no longer within summer’s embrace,
hungrily hugs to itself a heavy coat of leaves.
Here are the paths [...]

A Poet’s Full Circle
Today I wrote a full poem. Not the half-assed attempts of the past ten years but an actual breathing poem and the feelings are wonderful.
I decided for a certain Cat’s birthday that I would make a book with poems by me inspired by her amazing photography. However, in order to do this I [...]

Let The Water Run….
This week has been less wordy for me and more reflective. I’m attempting to do something I have only ever done once before. I call it “Let The Water Run…”, as in let the water run where it may because I’m only along for the ride. This philosophy has emerged because of [...]

The Horoscope Got It Right
I don’t put much stock in astrology and only read it when it says what I want it to say. I hardly weigh life decisions on whether Mercury is in retrograde but yesterday a rather accurate blip was in my mailbox.
“You find yourself making amazing progress on pretty much any project you’re working on [...]

How Could I Forget
I mentioned a day or so ago how I was going to buy a small, pocket sized journal in the hope that I would write down thoughts when I was away from the internet. Amazingly, I did just that.
Off to Target I went and found a very cute yet cool looking lined paper green [...]

Why I Write
I was directed from Wil Wheaton’s excellent blog to a new site entitled “Why We Write.”
There I found wonderful essays from people who make a living doing this sort of thing and was challenged to really look inside myself and figure out my own motivation for chasing after a gift I’ve so long ignored.
The passage [...]
