I am still on the hunt for the perfect bookshelf. My collection of books is constantly growing and I am running out of space and though I don’t like to admit it I am even out of room on the floor. This shelf grabbed me because it was the type of shelf I want to find my own books on one day. It is modern and fun while offering nice storage. It also adds a spot for the placement of unique items.
What trinket would you put at the end of each shelf?
Happy Friday Everyone!
Here is an excerpt on my most recent work in progress. It has been a long ride but I am pleased to say the first draft has one maybe two chapters left before the end.
Alison knew what was going on, on some level it made sense. It had always made sense. When she was younger it happened, back then losing a moment or two of time didn’t seem to matter. When she had been a little girl getting lost in the emotion of the moment had been an adventure. Occasionally she would remember what had transpired, other times she would wake up not having the slightest clue where the afternoon had been spent. Alison had never been harmed in those lost moments and from what little she could remember no one else had been harmed.
She had never once been scared. No, the excitement pulsed through her young body. It was the reason she never told anyone about the episodes, the loss of them was a reality she could not face.
In the heat of the day there is always a cool respite. – A

I would love to do some writing here with my toes dangling in the water of Lake Michigan.
Thanks Emily for the photo, you will be taking me here when I visit Chicago.
Risking Everything,
Unaware of Misfortune,
Stupendously Young.

shattering the balanced muse,

Once More Recklessly,
Calling Upon All Courage,
To Fall Is To Stand.
One of the new categories I am introducing is called “Writing Places”. It is going to be a a photographic showcase of all the places I do my writing and all of the places I dream about doing my writing.
It occurred to me that I should probably show where I currently do most of my writing, I like to call it my hot mess desk. As you can see there are notebooks, laptops and general mayhem. I make notes everywhere and never seem to focus on any single project for more than a few moments at a time. I wonder if I could actually write in an organized space?
Where do you all do most of your writing? At home, at some exotic location? Is it neat and tidy or if possible is it even more chaotic than my current space?
As long as your writing I am sure the space is just write for your creative flow.
Have a Great Weekend Everyone!
Unable to escape the inevitable.
-The Looks, The Whispers.
Ashamed in one way.
-Ambivalent in another.
The end will be the relief.
-Cold, Heartless, Resigned.
Within myself the strength lies.
-Feel Everything.
-Feel Nothing.
Achieve Acceptance.

—Slowly Kill The Soul.
Yes I am in the middle of three different projects… and yet I have also been contemplating starting yet another.
There is an idea that captures my imagination whenever I have a free moment. For now it is just a collection of thoughts in search of a way to be put to paper.
Here is what I am working on for the opening paragraph:
There comes a time when you must achieve the dream regardless of who you must use to get there. If you are afraid you don’t deserve it, quite simply you are too weak for your them. Chasing the elusive white rabbit will consume you. Regret and consequence are not your concern, that only thing that matters is what you seek most. Surely even you can capture love.
Guess who’s back?
It was nice to step a way from here for a week and gain some perspective on what I want to do next.
As you can tell I have completely changed the layout of my blog, don’t worry some of the usual posts will still be coming but I will be introducing some brand new categories starting tomorrow night.
What I am most excited about is that I am going to start putting snippets of my works in progress up here for the world to see; I hope to receive good feedback and helpful criticism. I really want to continue to make this blog more and more interactive.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Please feel free to share them.
Thank you for your patience, I can’t wait to see which way the wind takes our ship.
Hello everyone, I am taking a week off of writing on this blog. I want to regroup and introduce some new ideas.
Thanks for the patience and support.
