Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that . We've always had lots of guinea pigs when I was younger, they're adorable.

I have an idea that I really want to try and pursue for a story, but I cannot bring myself to start typing ideas. It's pretty terrible, I remember when this was so easy. There's probably a lot of underlying reasons for this: fear of failure, fear of not having it come out how I wanted... etc. I need to just do it, I know that. I just suddenly come to an abrupt halt at the idea of opening my writer program. :/

I've been doing this, too. I have so many stories both started and not that are on my mind, but as soon as I open that blank page all I'm left with is 'oh gods, I can't do this anymore' and I end up walking away without putting down a word.

Safari has a new feature on my IPad called reading list. I'm not really sure what it's for but I keep hitting when I want to open something in a new tab. Then I have to go and delete the bookmark it made. >:|

For me I write down what scenes are clearest in my mind. I'll stop when I feel I can't write anymore and came back to it later then fix the things I don't like or want to improve on.

When you are writing for yourself no one else in the universe will ever see it. I spent last week hand writing out an idea I got from watching a mini series. It allowed me to meander through it, cross out some parts, add notes to other parts, give it some direction, and not care what was happening. When I am ready to return to the story I'll have a good start, if I never do I've caught a nice batch of characters and fleshed out an idea. Any writing is good writing.

Yeah, i believe that definitly. My husband's been after me to do something productive with the things II love to do and wriiting is one of them. It sucks that I held myself back for years becausee I've been afraid of failing, but I just thouught of it this way. First of all, you can now seelf pubblish yourself through ebooks. Like, I don't have to go tthrough a publisher, from what I can tell. So, even if the ebook I manage to publissh doesn't give me tthis fantastic influx of money, I still got it out there. So, I mean, hey... whatever I can do to actuaally get myself back innto that thing I always talked about doing.

Also my bluetooth keyboard apparently likes to type double letters.

I'm feeling rather sick right now because I've just realized that I'm probably going to have to sell most of my beloved doll collection because of a lawyer that won't do his job at any rate of speed. I've been collecting for a good number of years (post count here aside since I just started posting again. Join date at Junky Spot is Sept 07. Wow....longer than I thought. X.x) and I was always careful just to get what we could afford. Now with a garnishment on my husband's wages (long story short, his step-father stole his identity to open many a credit card in my husband's name and then never paid them off. Every time we think things are all fixed, something like this happens. We had no knowledge of any proceedings on the garnishment until the notice that they were starting to deduct it arrived. Thanks a lot, Micheal.....) and me out of work because of several reasons beyond my control all that being careful budget-wise comes to naught. They are the most valuable things we have and so they have to go.

Makes sense mentally: gotta have food and shelter over dollies, but that doesn't help my heart stop hurting.

^That makes my discovery that I'm jogging towards a head cold sound selfish to whine about. Thhat absolutly sucks, especially since it's his step-father doing this to him. Like, please tell me thiss guy got hitt with something?

Karma does seem to be coming around to get him. Unfortunately, I don't know if any amount of karma is going to be enough for the pain he's caused. A lot of the problem is that all the legal stuff took place a while back (how we never got notified about any of it is beyond me. They sure were quick enough to notify him once the decision had been made which means they DID know where he was at.) and in Arkansas, while my husband has been living with me in Iowa for many a year now. This stuff is a mess to deal with in person let alone over the phone several states away but I'm guessing unless we find a lawyer in Iowa who also happens to also be licensed in AR, we are rather stuck with having to contact someone by phone in AR.

Can anyone tell my husband and I know next to nothing about dealing with lawyers? I suppose that is part of the reason this one is being such a jerk... X.x
