You're a Writer? Read This
I'm currently sitting at my table, staring at my empty mug of coffee and wishing it was full, randomly typing this out because I currently feel the need to write yet do not have a distinct idea of what to write about. And yet, I feel that this may possibly be what some other writer out there needs to hear. Sometimes, as a writer, we feel inferior to other writers because we don't always see into their writing process. We can often think, their words flow easier than mine, or, inspiration seems to just radiate from them, and then wonder why it's not happening with us. So, as I'm currently writing this, I've decided to prove to you that not all inspiration comes in huge waves, and it is possible to find it through simple forms; even if it's entirely unexpected, and hopefully you can gain a little encouragement.

Female in a Male Prison
I'm in my first year as a counselor. It's difficult to go to work every day knowing I am an attractive woman putting myself in a position to be seen by men who are especially prone to lust. Men who are part of a population that tend to have low moral standards. What I have found, though, is a subculture in this other world. A small population that have the most intuitive and dedicated moral structure that is a blessing to witness being built. Here, in this world of men, I find myself torn between who I used to be and who I want to be.

If Money Were No Object
If money were no object I would be able to create and bring to life so many dreams I have had locked away in this mind of mine. Dreams some would say are too big for a person like myself, but if you are going to dream, dream big and dream often.

10 Things No One Told Me About Art School
I pretty much applied to Art School on a whim. It was my freshman year in college, and I was miserable at the uppity private school I was attending. I knew I needed to transfer out. Already under crippling student debt, I searched through the programs at the state university near my hometown and found they had a Visual & Performing Arts College within the university. I had taken a few film photography classes and I fell in love with photography. So, when I found a photography program, I put together a portfolio and applied to the program and by the end of the semester, I had been accepted. But, the truth is, I really had no idea what I was getting into. While my overall experience in art school has been positive, there are some things I wish someone had told me before I had committed to the program.
