Popcorn popping in the microwave

Hi PugofCrydee. I'm really sorry but I'm not ready for that. I'd love for you to read it if you were interested but giving out the name of the novel would also lead to my actual name. One of the best things for me here is that I can detail my life and problems while maintaining a certain...

Feeling a little down. I'm probably making too much of something that happened earlier today so I'm battling with letting it really get me down and keeping my head up. Sigh. Tomorrow is another day.

Back to writing again! After completing and publishing my first novel, I didn't know what to do with myself. It's a slow start but that's okay. It feels good to get back to the one thing I'm passionate about.

I totally agree. I believe there's a constant battle between good and evil. Sometimes in just keeping to myself, I feel like I'm depriving evil of an opportunity to do any more damage (using others as a tool). It's not an ideal solution, I suppose, but it's somewhat of a small victory.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (Right, try telling that to all the people in therapy).

1. A dog when they're doing that communicative whine, almost like they're trying to talk. 2. A single engine airplane (not a jet). 3. A good acapella group singing in harmony.

It's a pretty good chance I won't be on this earth 30 years from now. That thought hit me one morning like a ton of bricks. Of course, there's also a pretty good chance I will but I'm not in my 20's anymore, although I tend to forget that often. Ah, mortality.

1. I like him/her because he/she says what all of us are thinking. 2. I'm very intelligent (or strong) - I just don't feel like people who are really intelligent or strong go around announcing it. 3. What did you do over the weekend? 4. Oh, that's just your imagination.

Feeling slightly antsy. If I don't start on a new writing project soon, I feel like I will lose the ability. I don't know why I always feel this way once I finish one project. It's been a month since already. Hopefully, this weekend.

I'm a very good creative writer (this is the only thing I'll ever pat myself on the back for). At some point I began to realize my lifetime of studying people and their interactions from afar was another way of storing profiles and traits in my mind. As a result, the characters in my story are...

You guys are probably both right and I should know better...but this anxiety always gets the best of me. The funny thing is I have books that some others have written that I haven't started on in months. I don't know why I should think it would be any different with me.

Anxious (surprise!). I published my first works a few weeks ago. A lot of my acquaintances were interested and ordered copies. Nobody has said anything to me about it since. I really felt like I'd finally gotten it right and had put out a masterpiece. Nobody has said anything negative but...

Been there, I can relate. In a meeting some time ago, I got thrown under the bus when my manager couldn't answer a question and turned to me as the "expert". Totally caught off guard and unprepared, I stammered something about not having the answer but I'd have to arrange a get-together to...

Sometimes the people in your life who are supposed to know better wind up being the main ones who hurt you. Since you trust them, their words carry more weight than others. But this person is in the wrong. He may be a good friend but keep in mind that he's a human too and, as such, he is...

This may be a little jaded but, these days I look at "Good Friend" as being synonymous with "Oh great. Another opportunity for disappointment". For this reason, I tend to push people away if they try to get too close. I've been burned and betrayed too many times in the past.

I think it comes down to the individual. Some people are happier single than they are being married or with a steady partner. Then, of course, there's the "Grass is greener on the other side" syndrome. That's where married people look at singles with admiration and singles look upon married...

For me it's spiritual growth and maturity. I feel like anybody can give in and push back with the same force they're being pushed with. This is what I used to do when I was younger and, although it feels good while doing so, in the long run it never got me anywhere. In fact, it often made...

Thanks and I hear you but I never expect things to go well for me because I try to do the right things. I'm just getting tired of putting up with people's crap. Lately, the slightest instance where I take the high road leads to hours of me having an internal battle, basically admonishing...

Getting real tired of always having to be the mature one and taking the high road. I fear I've been doing it for so long that one day I'll snap over something very small. Then, of course, I'll look like the bad guy.
