My writing has slowed down a bit as my lifestyle has changed a bit for the summer. I have less time for online and I’m awfully distracted by this new house. It needs a lot of decorating so I’m trying to keep up. I also usually wait until late Saturday night to write this post. … Read more
When you have two glasses of wine and fall asleep while putting your son to sleep after a long day at the zoo, your thoughts aren’t always the most coherent. Then again, normally my #SOCSunday thoughts aren’t always that coherent. Today’s Writing Prompt: What happens when you are reminded of your teen years? Happy? Jealous? … Read more
I happened to be overwhelmed by my work. Social media is a hobby for me but it’s always my profession, regardless of how much money I make at it. So it’s a choice but not in a normal sense of deciding whether or not I want to do it. I feel like I’m doing some … Read more
So many things on my mind tonight. When I sit down to write my post for next Sunday, I will officially be living in Maryland. I still don’t see how it’s all going to get done especially with me fielding some sort of upper respiratory ailment and lower back pain. But it will get done … Read more
I started this meme as a way to get your writing juices flowing. I used to do this exercise in college and we would freewrite for 15 minutes. But back then, we did it with pen and paper and the amount we could write in 15 minutes is about the same as I can type … Read more
Call it whining. Call it ranting. Call it first world problems. I have perspective but sometimes there are things you just don’t want to do. Maybe you’re tired or you need a break or you’d rather spend your hard-earned money elsewhere. But there’s got to be something you don’t want to do. I’m full of … Read more
Before you get your knickers in a twist, I know that there is a blog out there called Things I Can’t Say. It’s written by fellow Carolina girl, Shell and I think she is an AMAZING writer. But her title was too good not to steal, or borrow, or imitate. It is the best form … Read more
What a difference a week makes… Last Saturday, I wrote my stream of consciousness post in NYC at the airport still reeling from the fact that I was six rows away from Meryl Streep and Hillary Clinton. I was still in awe over the fact that I met Debra Winger and Ingrid Michaelson at a … Read more
Can you believe it’s a week into the new year? It actually feels like longer. I couldn’t believe as I was reading through last week’s post that New Year’s Day was only a week ago. Maybe it’s because I’ve embraced the new year. I’ve actually started doing the things I want to do. I’m running. … Read more
Guess what? We made through a whole year. And some of you made it through a whole year of blogging. To that, I say CONGRATULATIONS! That’s no small feat. But as is usual for the first day of a new year, I’m thinking about the changes to come. I’m thinking about the changes that will … Read more
I’ll admit that I’m starting to feel the typical end-of-the-year reflections. What has changed, what has gotten better, what has gotten worse. All of the things I might put on a Christmas letter if I were inclined to write one. I’m also thinking about ways to recognize my blogging friends and also how to keep … Read more
I’m totally out of line today. I broke all the rules. I wrote for 10 minutes. I corrected a few typos so you wouldn’t get hung up on nonsense words. But I never went back and edited or proofread. And I’m adding in a few pictures. Not that that’s against the rules. And not like … Read more
