You'll Never Take My Sanity!
Hi. I'm one of the scores of thirty-something-year-olds who have struggled with the transition from being a young adult into be just a regular ol' adult. I'm assuming if you're reading this, you're another one. I'm hoping that these blogs will be helpful to us all in some way. I want to talk about some of my experiences and what has worked for me and what really has not been working for me. Maybe my stories will come in handy for some people--and maybe some of you readers might have some insights that could help me out too. So, let's get started.

The Deeter Dialogue Blog
My Ultimate Goal I'm a multi-genre Indie romance author who's written 13 books under my own name. I previously worked as a ghost writer who put out 37 books in four years. Yes, full-length novels. I'm not plugging myself when I say that, just providing a little background about myself.

In the Name of Art #3
The coffee was good, Harriet had to admit, and Daniel made it well though the conversation left a lot to be desired. He had prattled on for almost three quarters of an hour about the flowers in the park nearby and how he loved that the gardeners there made sure something was in bloom all the year round.

10 Things to Do While You Are Job Searching
Well, adulthood is here and here to stay. I don't know about all of you, but I was dreading graduation. Though we all feel accomplished, for some there is a great deal on uncertainty. This is a great time to grow and start a new chapter.

A Post-Graduate on a Journey to a Location Unknown
Having graduated last summer as a Digital Arts student, I felt relieved but nervous in regards to what I should do next. I was someone who was interested in graphic design, film and writing, so I wasn’t exactly sure of where to start. However, I knew that working in television was something that I was passionate about and something that I wanted to pursue. But on the other hand, I was also aware that I needed to have a steady income whilst looking for an internship. This led to me falling into a rigid full-time work circle at a retail establishment. The money was good but I was left feeling uninspired, under-valued and disheartened by the lack of stimulation from my environment. Working long hours also meant that I was tired and out of practice when it came to doing artwork in my spare time. When I actually had a day off to do applications I no longer felt equipped to fulfil the roles that I was applying for and felt stuck in a job that I had no passion for. I also didn’t have as much time to see my friends because I was so tired and ended up in quite a low place.

Dear Diary
Entry I Dear Diary, Today I just want to disappear. These girls at work... I thought we were friends. However, all of a sudden they’ve just changed and not for the better. Harassing me in and out of work. I can’t even have a day off without getting texts or phone calls about work related things or them bullying me about things I never said or did cause they believe all the lies Veronica has fed them. Veronica and I used to be close. Hanging out till 3 am, talking, laughing things best friends would do, but she’s shown her true colors now. She’s a pathological manipulative liar. The other girls at work who are her friends even said so themselves, yet they still include her in their group. Jane is younger than me and she’s the most disrespectful disgusting human being I’ve ever met. She’s all talk and no game. However, harassing and bullying in and outside of work has gotten the best of me. I’m tired, depressed, and even considered cutting again. I told my boss, but they still do it. If I complain again I’m the one whose most likely going to get fired and not them. It sucks. I hate my life. I deal with so much negativity at home as it is and now I can’t even escape it at work. Why me? Why does everything bad have to happen to me? I’ve done nothing to deserve this... till tomorrow diary... hopefully...
