I’m Going to Force Myself to Write an 80,000 Word Novel in 30 Days
Like many authors and writers, I sometimes leave a project half-finished… if I had even bothered to start it in the first place.

Unconditional Love
Love - They say good things come in small packages but who knew such a small word could hold so much weight. I’ll be the first to raise my hand. Of course there is the love you have for your family members, friends, and unconditional love for your children. Then there are those complete strangers you meet that some how come into your life and show you a complete different meaning of what unconditional love means and feels like. It is that one person you cannot see yourself without because the emotions run so deep. From the way you two touched, and not sexually, the feeling you get in your stomach just when thinking, seeing, or even being around them, to the feeling you get deep within your soul. A feeling that completes you and scares the shit out of you at the same time because it leaves you feeling naked and vulnerable.

SHENANIGANS! Part 1
I’ve decided that once a week, I will take a bunch of random journal topics and just answer them here. I will call this weekly article SHENANIGANS! I will do thirteen questions total and it will be on a variety of topics. These will all be chosen at random. Some of the topics present here are sensitive issues so let that be a trigger warning. I’ll try to be delicate. Here we go!

Alpha Males Are Not Attractive as You Think
Most women rely on men who dominate in relationships. These women look for men who are confident, assertive, charismatic, and capable of taking charge of situations.

Yesterday, it rained.
My love, I woke up today not knowing how or what to feel. I remember, vividly, you telling me not to start my day off in conflict. Going on about how it deteriorates my face, or even more so, how it ruins my mind. And to that, I respond with a nod and an ‘I understand’ as I continue to perform the same ol’ tricks over and over again.

An Angel, Mother & Muse
This is my open letter to the three people in my life who have helped shape me into the person I am today. Dear Nan, Thank you for adopting my mother. You always put everyone else's needs before your own, and I feel blessed that I was raised by you. I have so many wonderful childhood memories, and I'll never forget all you have done for me. You were so graceful and selfless; you were the picture-perfect role model of a loving, caring mother. Because of you, I can pass on your admirable traits to my own children. You always managed to show unwavering kindness to the world around you. Even though you're no longer here, you will always live on through the beautiful qualities you gave to me. Every time I aspire to be better, I ask myself, what you would have done. I hope you're proud of me; I miss you so much!

Intentional Interactions
They say that books can change lives. Those 6" x 9" pieces of paper, bound together with hopes, dreams, and persons very soul- lays the foundation to reach out and touch another human being: what a fantastic concept, the written word.

Life in Hades with My Oldest Daughter
In 2004 I was blessed with the first of my three children. In a way, we grew into the burgeoning new age of gaming together. I came of age in the 80s and 90s, wiling away my time first with an Atari 2600 Mom bought at a yard sale, and then moving onto the many classic Nintendo titles that still resonate with so many. By the time my daughter Phoenix was born, I was immersed in games that would have looked like Science Fiction to me at age 8 but were increasingly becoming commonplace in gaming culture. Diablo II and Morrowind were the best of the best to me at the time, and Phoenix would go on to enjoy the Elder Scrolls series just as much.

Ectoplasim
The Plot Gets Lost in The Séance "Ectoplasm" By Spit and Vigor has many good things working for it. The set and sound by Florence Scagliarini are first rate and so is some of the acting. The gothic set matches The Players Theatre like it was the theaters living room. Both the set and theater give off a "cool vibe". Like the last show put on at The Players by Spit and Vigor (The Wake of Dorcas Kelly), the audience was treated to the same gothic feel and the same undertone of a show that is Avant Garde in writing and design. Unlike "Dorcas", however, "Ectoplasm" is not well written. The show is billed as two woman who work together as mediums: Sara Marshall (Jillian Cicalese) and Kaye Schultz (Caitlin Dullahan-Bates). Sara fully believes in what she does and the life as a medium; Kaye is distraught in that she believes that they are charlatans and do nothing to help people.

The Ghost Day
As it rose this time there was an uncharacteristic pause in the constant revolving of sun and planets. As if in response to the profound unfairness of the times the laws of nature slipped slightly and ruffled their skirts. Time creased and rumpled. The record jumped. Certainly the causes no longer had their usual effects. The earth contemplated its revolution.
