Moving & Shaking

Today has been a good day. Finally got the internet radio to work, so I am here listening to funky d&b while I type.

Talked to Ron today. We had a great talk – about life, buying homes, going back to school, and hoping, one day, for our businesses to so successful that we can do them full-time.

I miss the days when he & I were close.  I don’t know that I was ever much good at giving him advice, but I do know that I was always a good listener.  It sucks that we don’t see one another much anymore.  I feel pretty lucky that we are so close in age and that I was able to grow up with a brother who I got along with. Plus – we had so many crazy, wild parties together at the various party houses!

Worked a bit on my story again today.  Some of the passages are really good (but is it sad that most of those are from when I originally started it a year or two ago).  But there are also some that just don’t fit, and I think that is because I’m not even completely sure what I want to say.

But I know I’ll get it.  It will all come together.

I don’t feel so down on myself today.  I don’t know why it surprised me, but I read Keri Smith’s journal today and even she was feeling badly, comparing herself to other artist’s and wondering if she us good enough, creative enough.

It amazed me, because in my eyes, she is already successful.  She’s had a few of her books published and evern she has doubts.

It gives me hope that I can overcome my own self-doubt – or at least be able to succeed despite it.

I’ve also been exchanging emails with Katrina from Feisty Scribe. She’s really cool, and has had some really supportive things to say, which is great considering we don’t know one another. 

I’m a mover & shaker now! D even joked about making me one of his characters.  I’d actually love to see what twisted nutter he’d make me into!
