Day 10: What is the best and/or worst thing about your life right now? What a loaded question. What is the best and worst thing about my life right now?

December Writing Challenge: Day 9
Day 9: What was your favorite children's book? I was in the third grade, and I had a nasty habit of finishing my homework in class before a lot of the other students in class. I'd sit there drawing on my desk or trying to strike up conversations with the other kids in class. Believe … Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 9

Day 8: Why blog? Why do you or why do you like to blog (recognizing that these are not always the same thing)? Another easy question...or at least one that doesn't take an overly large amount of thinking. I blog, because I love writing. I get behind a lot. Let's face it. It's December 18th, … Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 8

Day 7: Who or what makes you laugh so hard that milk shoots out of your nose and why? Slapstick, dry witty comedy, your kids, Monty Python?

Day 4: In the movie version of your life, which actor/actress would play you and the significant players in your life? What kind of movie is it (e.g., Made for T.V., Action, emo/Indie, etc.)? What will be the major plot points, and how will it end? Wow, this is kind of a loaded question. Honestly, … Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 4
December Writing Challenge: Day 3
Day 3: How did you become more of a grown-up this year? Or did you pull a Peter Pan and stubbornly remain childlike? If I'm going to be honest with myself and with the readers that know me well, I will have to admit that I've done a little of both growing up and remaining … Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 3
December Writing Challenge: Day 2
Day 2: What is the stupidest thing you did this year? What about in your whole life? You can take stupid to mean: embarrassing, dangerous, funny, lame, whatever you consider 'stupid'. A lot has happened this year, and I have definitely made more than one mistake over the course of 2011; however, if I had … Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 2
Remembering to Live for the Moment
It's easy to get caught up in the past and to worry about the future.
