Quarantine day 40

-


Sleep has been eluding me in the mornings. Usually about 3am (the witching hour) I wake up, and I'm unable to get back to sleep. If I do, it's only for fifteen or twenty minutes.
I don't know what to do about it anymore. I don't know if there's much I can do. If it didn't leave me tired for the rest of the day, I wouldn't care. I wish I didn't have to sleep. Or eat.
I could be happy being a Cullen-type vampire. Don't have to sleep or eat, and the blood you need comes from animals and not humans (although there are some humans that deserve it). I could deal with living like that. Plus, in the sunlight you look fabulouuus!

So, I'm in a writing slump. I have been since December. I haven't really worked on anything since then. And I have two projects to work on, too. Mentally, though, I just can't get into it. Again, I have that feeling "It's a waste of time" that I can't seem to shake. I get so excited at the release of each new book, but each time I am left feeling deflated. It gets old.

Add on top of the usual feeling of dread, the stress of what's going on in the world right now, it's a mess. You'd think this past 40 days of quarantine would have been a great opportunity to complete both of my pending projects. But no.

Hopefully things will change soon, but this is the longest spell of "I'm done with writing" that I've had. People always say, "You should keep writing because you enjoy it." But at times like these, I don't enjoy it. I try to enjoy it, but can't help but think of the amount of work I have to put into writing each book, and for what?

Okay, that's it for the negativity today, just overtired.

Things will change. Sooner than we know.

Stay safe. Stay inside. 💓

We've started a new year. We've started a new opportunity to be a better person. A happier person. It's no secret that I'm one of the worst bloggers around. Why? Because no one reads it. And that had been a difficult thing for me to handle for years. So I feel I don't need to try.  2018 was a bad year. No only because there's a new problem with the cunt in the White House every day, but with people in general. People have gotten more violent and uncaring. As a society, it is clear that we are declining.  It's been extremely difficult attempting to stay positive over the last 12+ months. But that is going to change. I am going to fight for positivity. No more depression. No more doubting myself or my writing. If people don't want to read my blog, big fucking deal! I don't care anymore. The time for change is now! No more thoughts of suicide (yes, there have been days). No more self-depreciation. I will do whatever I can to be successful

Freedom of Speech?

  It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. It’s been a while since I’ve done any type of writing. I don’t even have a website anymore. I wasn’t planning on writing anything, probably eve again, but lately, things have been changing.  The “Supreme” Court has been making very dangerous changes to the laws in our country. Particularly six of the judges. Six CONSERVATIVE judges, who are forcing us to go back to the 1950’s! Their latest stunt is allowing businesses to discriminate against LGBT+ people if they don’t want to serve them, because it’s against their religion. They’re claiming it falls under the First Amendment: freedom of speech.  Oh, yeah, we’ll, here’s some freedom of speech for you: Fuck them!!! Fuck all Republicans!!! Fuck Donald tRump and his illiterate cult. Fuck all the ignorant morons who claim being “woke” is bad.  Here’s, some freedom of speech: I wish I was able to tell the cunt that walks in wearing a MAGA terrorist hat that their not welcome in our place of busines

Finished another one

After an almost seven month break from writing, yesterday I finished another book. It is the first installment of a new new trilogy called My Leprechaun . The first book is titled The End of the Rainbow . I'm excited about this series, but I'm also filled with angst. Finishing a book and getting it ready to put out into the world and see what it does is usually an exciting time. There's always that chance that this book will be the one that puts my name on the map. In pure blog openness,  that's what I had hoped for when I released Reunion last October. It was my first ghost story, and I thought it would make a huge splash. But it didn't. I fought for months just to get a few reviews.  The excitement fizzled and faded. And something inside me turned off. That was the start of my break from writing.  I was sure I was done working so hard for nothing in return. But there was this story that I had wanted to tell for years. I had almost finished the first draft months
