MIDNITE JOURNEY     Unfortanetly, my rising star sponsor is no longer a member of the community, but she will always be a friend and will always be in my heart for all she did for me and others here. Thank you stacylynn! Take a journey with me as I pen what comes to me in the darkest of the hour. Stay awhile, leave a comment or just read. Either way, I hope you get something out of what I may write here. Thanks for visiting. |
| Well as much as I've been wanting to write, heck even read and review, I really haven't. I've given a few reviews my first day back, but not since. I read, don't get me wrong. There are some poems and stories I have read, but failed to give a review for. Just, hating to say this, I lack the inspiration I once had. Also, the lack of time doesn't help much either. I did find a little bit of time to begin a story, using a prompt, but by the end of the night, I read it and it was all wrong. I really thought inspiration had hit me with that one, but after re-reading it, nope. I realized I did way too much describing, but not about what the prompt was supposed to be. Ugh. I'm really trying here folks. I'm not gonna say just give me time, but I will say I will keep trying. I plan to sit today and go back over what I wrote yesterday and tweak it or honestly, probably start it all over. It would make for a good story, I think and I'm not ready to give up just yet. But then again, I will make no promises.  I also came up with a prompt for someone else to use. I entered it into the prompt contest. It would make for a funny story. I can't say I would be able to write a story for it, but someone who writes comedy probably could. Anyway, that'll be it for now. Just wanting to give anyone still following me a heads up. I'm still here, but barely. P.S. Anyone ever stop writing for a while and come back to it to find you forgot how to spell? Yeah, google has been a good friend the last few days...   |
| I've been away so very long. My apologies to those who may have worried or at the very least, missed me. I've completely forgotten how to do anything on this site. Looks like I will be starting off as a newbie all over again. It's fine really, because in most ways I am a newbie. So much has changed, good and bad. So many things going on, but nothing interesting, just day to day life. I honestly had no intentions on renewing my membership today. I was going to wait, but as in most of my decisions lately, I said, "Fuck it." So here I am. My intentions today were to show my daughter this site, as she is taking bigger steps to becoming a writer. She's young still. Still too young to write about what she knows. I hate that saying... write about what you know. I was told that when I began writing poetry in my teens. I get it, but who are you to tell me what I know? You've never walked in my shoes, experienced MY life. Anyway... I purchased my membership, so here I am. Still without inspiration. No thoughts at all about what to write, except this entry. So now what? I'm not making any promises. I see so much has changed, not really on this site, but rather who is still here and who is not. It saddens me. I thought it would be like old times. It's not. I'm down to 7 fans, but maybe that's all I had before I left, I don't remember. I do see or rather don't see quite a few names I used to years ago, and let's face it, nothing lasts forever. I know that, as do you. Unfortunately I can not say I have grown as a writer in these years that have passed since I was last on. Too much daily living has gotten in the way of that. I have more experience in life, that's it, that's all. My children are much older and have their own interests, likes, the whatnots. Fortunately, my daughter caught the writing bug, which is why I'm back here. As well, my fiance, is a self published writer, working on his second and third books at the moment. I was hoping visiting this site would maybe spark something, but as of yet today, just like the years passed, there is nothing. I went through my port, which is another reason I renewed my membership. It, of course, has been locked all this time. I began reading some of my writings, and I know I'm going to catch grief from someone reading this entry, my writings, for the most part, suck. Yes, indeed, suck. I remember a time when I was avid on this site, where if I got a negative review, I'd say how dare you. Now it is, how dare I. I've always been able to give and take criticism, especially in my line of work as a cook. You have to in order to evolve. Same within writing. It helps, I suppose, to step back for a bit and come back with a fresh set of eyes, more experience in life. Whether it gives me inspiration, I do not know, but I do know I can criticize my own work with honesty. I, for sure, am not looking for anyone to tell me we are our own worst critic, I know that. I've always been that in every artistic aspect of my life, both business and pleasure. So save that comment, please. I truly mean to say that after reading some of my writings today, I can only grow from here. I hope. |
