So, it's a new year and with this new year, I've decided to keep a new blog. Which can be located here: musingsofamichelle.blogspot.com. I'm still keeping this one, but it's going to be for all my writing ups and downs as I'm working on writing books (that one day will be published). That blog will be the main one for me where I'll write about whatever I feel like. Movies, books, kid issues,

I finally realized why I love to write. It took a long time to figure it out, but I FINALLY pegged it. It isn't for the same reasons I love reading, not even close. Nope. It keeps me sane and mellow. Besides B and my mom and all the other people I love, it's the one thing that brings me back to relative normalcy (if that even exists in my world). Seriously, if I'm having a bad day (because some

I survived NANOWRIMO by some miracle and I managed to make my word count. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of myself. Now I can go back to my hectic daily life that leaves room for practically nothing.And it's almost the holidays, which means it's almost the new year. Which is always a good thing. New year's always mean a new start and a whole lot of promise.

Its almost November, which means it's almost Nanowrimo time. It also means I will be pretty much absent because I'll be doing the whole mom thing I like doing, and the extra time will be spent writing. And trying to finish a 50,000 word book. Crossing fingers now.When I get back to blogging come December the first, I'll be putting my 100 favorite movies. It'll give me the incentive I need to blog

I've been such a bad writer and I'm not going to make any excuses. I lead a busy life and most nights I crawl into bed exhausted beyond belief without touching a pen and paper or a computer. My brain is constantly working on new plots and stories and they're almost never acted upon. Yes, this makes me a bad writer.Well, maybe not such a bad writer, but definitely lazy. I follow a lot of author's

I've decided it's time for me and my book "Homecoming" to take a hiatus. Not permanently, but we really do need a break from each other, you know to gain apprectiation and grow a little. Absence makes the heart grow fonder after all. During this break, I'm going to work on a new project that I haven't been able to get out of my head. It's tentatively called "Dani" because I haven't come up with

I love writing, but there are times I hate it. Most times I hate when I really want to write, but can't because my real life gets in the way. I'm not saying it's my excuse to not write, but it's very hard to sometimes squeeze even 5 minutes of writing, let alone write a whole book.These are the bad days, when I feel uninspired and useless as I sit in front of the computer. These are the days I

I think about how I write a lot, because no one person writes the same way, that's why we're all individuals and unique. Like I've mentioned before, I've been writing for as long as I can remember. It's the only thing besides motherhood that's truly come naturally to me. Ideas pop into my head a lot and my brain's always working, even when I sleep.A lot of times I'll have this dream, sometimes

The ego in me tells me I can actually write. I have the talent to actually write a full fledge novel. Some of the stuff I've written is half way decent enough for people to read, and I've been told they like it (but mom's always tell their kids how much they like the things they do. It's in their mommy contract. I should know, I signed my own 7 years ago. As I was saying, no issues whatsoever

Is definitely a closed train depot at my house. Maybe not so much closed indefinitely, but down for repairs. I went to see "The Nutcracker" with my daughter tonight because A) she'd never seen the actual ballet, just the Barbie version of it, B) it's a great Christmas tradition and C) it's my favorite ballet in to watch in the world. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a ballerina, but, well,

I joined this writing a book in a month thingy, because as you all know, I've been trying to finish a book for as long as I've been writing. Since I was 10 to be exact. So that's my goal for the month of November, which is going to prove to be a busy one for me, I think. I've also started classes to get my bachelor's, so I'm also going to school part time. I'm pretty proud of myself right now.

I am a writer in training. Yes, I admit it. For years I've been writing and for years I've been saying I want to be published. And honestly, I'm sick of saying and not doing. So this is my blog and how I'm going to manage that. I've decided start with a schedule, since that's the only way I think I'll ever get anything done. My goal is to write at least 30 minutes a day and at least 1,000
