To the argument posed in the subject line, which happens to come from a best friend's sister, I say, why not? Don't get me wrong. Polygamy is not for me, and I think in most circumstances, it's not for most people. I'll explain why in just a short little while. First, I want to talk … Continue reading If I Can Marry One, Why Not 3?!
Rediscovering Myself as a Writer…Hopefully
Writing has always been a passion of mine. From the time I could pick up a pencil and find a piece of paper, I was writing. Before we had a computer in our house, I used to go over to grandma's house and spend hours typing my stories into Microsoft Works. I still have those … Continue reading Rediscovering Myself as a Writer…Hopefully
Reflections from the Past and Dreams for the Future
Reflections from the Past and Dreams for the Future Tonight I was rummaging through some of my past writings, both way back when and in the more recent past, when I came across a writing from when I first began the coming out process to my friends and co-workers. Mostly, it was about Nick and … Continue reading Reflections from the Past and Dreams for the Future
Fragmented Pieces
Everything has shattered, but I didn’t notice the falling fragments of what used to be my happiness until each individual piece came at me fast and hard. Individually, the fragments are minor and unimportant. Little things that would normally not bother me; they’re things that could easily be brushed off. When put together, however, they … Continue reading Fragmented Pieces

Day 13: What are three things you are better at than most people? And the difficult writing prompts just keep on coming.

December Writing Challenge: Day 11
Day 11: How are you like your mother? And if you are a mother, how is/are your kid(s) like you? Well, I guess I get to skip half of this writing prompt, seeing as how I'm very much not a mother. I can easily say that there's been a lot of thought placed into this … Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 11
December Writing Challenge: Day 10
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
December Writing Challenge: Day 8
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.
