Holding Pattern

My writing has stalled. Even though I made a few breakthroughs in these pages, I still can't seem to focus. And I'm not sure why. I don't know if it's fear, guilt, no ideas, procrastination, or what. But the longer I go without writing, the worse I feel about...

Pictures of You

I've been so irritable today! Last night, too. The thing is, I don't know why.  It could be the result of our house hunt and the fact we might be moving to Brampton., which sort of crushes my plans of going to York. We had a great couple of...

Hands of Time

Great day yesterday. We finally made our way down to Buffalo to buy the digital camera. It is super cool! It has a bunch of presets, such as landscape, sunset, portrait, etc.  I wish we had it for our trip to Washington. I got a few more booklets for...

In Disguise

I was looking on my disks for my old "Of My Spirit" story because I thought I could combine it with something I was working on today. I found this old story I'd written about Dad. The thing is, I don't even remember writing it – not one recollection....

Holly Jolly

Looking back on all the pages I've written in less than a month, it's pretty amazing to me how I've gone from no writing to almost every day pages. Granted, I haven't yet moved on from daily pages to working on a story. But knowing that I've succeeded in...

Back to the Books

I spent most of the day researching writing programs at universities. The Western program sounds good, but it isnâ't offered through distance education. The Simon Fraser and UBC programs sound good. Too bad I live in Ontario. They do offer some of the courses via Distance Ed. Then, I...

Plan of Attack

At the moment I seem to have misplaced the page of writing I did on Friday where I tried to remember everything I could about living on Finsbury Crescent. This irritates me.  I suppose I could just continue to write about some other aspect and piece them together later....

Continuing…

I haven't been sleeping well lately. Since Friday, I've been researching various writing courses online. It started with the Humber School for Writers. But when I realized it's a post-graduate course, and that I may not be able to get into the program, I've been looking at college &...

Wonderings

When I look at my life, I feel I don't have many adventures to share. The most interesting and daring thing I have ever done was that summer I moved to B.C. and spent it backpacking and camping out on the beach in the middle of the rain forest....

Safety Net

I was so exhausted last night that I fell asleep on the couch. I was hoping to get some time in on my superstition story; or get back to working on 'The Mirror'; or do some free writing on dad's story. The latter is one where I have no...
