Hello one and all! Hope you are all well. I am not...as I have a stinking cold. Oh well, mustn't complain. Even though I wanna complain about how much I hate feeling like crap. Anyway, my intention when writing this piece was not to moan about the lurgy.

There's Always Time to Write
This article is an exploration of the concept I touched on in the poem, I Write Everywhere. But it also came from a realization I had one day when writing one particularly lengthy comment on Facebook. Two things came from this comment. First, was “wow” how long is this comment. It ended up being 300 plus words. The second was, well if I have time to sit and write a 300 plus word comment, I have time to write 300 or more words a day towards finishing a story, or writing some poems. So, then, what was I doing with my time? Clearly nothing as productive as I could be. So what did this mean to me? It meant that it was time for me to take my own advice. And that’s what I started to do.

I Am SORRY
I am sorry. Three simple words that hold so much weight. They say that acknowledging your mistakes is the first step towards redemption, but it's not always that easy. Sometimes, saying sorry can feel like opening a Pandora's box of emotions. Guilt, shame, regret - all come flooding in, threatening to drown you.

Couch to 5k Reads. Top Story - October 2023.
My musings on the inky trail so far; my appreciation of Tossers; my thoughts and suggestions on the Stats page About a month ago, I suddenly noticed my long-ignored read counter had ticked up over 3,000 reads. Gosh, I thought. That seems like a milestone and a half! I'd not long hauled myself out of a deep, dark hole known as "writer's block". I used this little number to keep me from sinking back into the pit. I allowed myself a little self-congratulatory jig.

My Journey as a Special Education Teacher
When I got my first classroom at the age of twenty-two, I had this vision of spending my days hanging out with kids and making a difference in their lives. Little did I know, special education is a lot more challenging and exhausting than I could have ever imagined. But despite the difficulties, the fulfillment I get from inspiring my students is beyond words.

Amanda's Curious Catalogue
A place for all my writing! Okay, maybe that sub-title is a little too grandiose, but madness truly is a great descriptor for some if not all of my work. I have a penchant for allowing my passion and excitement to leak through, turning some pieces ( like my book reviews ) into blubbering messes of THOUGHTS and FEELINGS rather than critical feedback.

Their love story was woven into the very fabric of the town, whispered in the rustling leaves and echoed in the crashing waves. They were destined for each other, two souls entangled in a cosmic dance that would lead them to discover the depths of love, loss, and the eternal beauty of the human heart.
