Phase: Writing

So far today, I have yet to begin my new goals list.

They are only a day old, but I have to solidify them all and make sure that I follow them to the letter.

The writing bit is harder to get into since I have yet to figure out how I am going to write, and the way I am going to go about it that makes sense to me.

I am concerned about the writing, because I have spoken to many friends here and there who have written novels and have told me the good and the bad in doing so.

I hold no illusion that I can sit here in my jammies day and night and write whenever the mood strikes...it takes dedication, hard work and hours of my time to do so.

The time aspect is where I will eventually have to look longer and harder at since I am now in the process of searching out a new job, and trying to make ends meet...I don't expect to magically write a book, get it published and be on the bestseller's lists all over the world making stacks of cash...I don't think that happens overnight for anyone-even John Grisham...sorry folks, he put a lot of dedication and time into every book he has written, and only HIS name on those novels now is what truly sells because he worked hard to gain the world's affection for his works.

I expect no less for myself, but first I need to write before I start thinking that far ahead.

I have been doing research into my favorite authors and checking out their interviews on the practice of writing, and getting a lot of information and insight into things so that I can begin.

Many now dedicate full hours to their writing, but this I cannot do because I need to keep the roof over my head right now, and I  need to eat, and that costs money.

I can only write when I can, dedicating myself to a certain amount of hours right now, and also trying to do research for that writing. So, I am setting up a writing schedule that will work for the time being and allow me to find a job or work full time.

As long as I am writing everyday, I believe I will be able to start doing this on my own.

There will be more on this subject soon!

My Newest Venture

I am not sure how this is going to work out, but I have a  new venture while I am out there trying to find a job.

http://kmonroe.find-a-deal.info/ 

If you click on the links, you will find deals on my new site.  Everytime you click on the link it gives you a great deal and helps me.

I do encourage you to at least check it out.   These are hard times and whenever and wherever you can find a good deal, I would suggest taking it!  I know I do every chance I get.

The link is also on the right side of my page above my Twitter link and I will be tweeting some great deals as often as I can, so follow me and soon I will begin putting up a separate Twitter profile for the site when it becomes necessary.

This us a new adventure for me, and I hope it works out!  I encourage you to check me out and see what I have going!!

Veteran's Day

I love our veterans.

My truest belief is that a veteran is someone who has survived war when his comrades haven't so that he can tell the stories so that WE remember who they were and what they fought for-us.

To all Veterans, please believe that you will never be forgotten....from the Revolution to today in the Middle East...

You are doing something I cannot do, and to me, what you do is the miracle that is the United States of America.

To those who served and died in Australia, I may not know who you were, or what you fought for but you are amazing!  Happy Armistice Day!

Bad Times Again

Well as of Saturday, I was let go from my job.

I will not go into details but to say that what happened may have been completely wrong and not from my end of the bargain...I know I did nothing wrong, and that something was off when the local butt kissing trailer trash threatened my job the day before, I was set up to be let go...

It doesn't matter, because I know that God will reward this behavior in both and it is not my place to question it.

I am going for unemployment and I will make sure I find a job that will value me and work with me and not allow this kind of behavior.

I will find something to do that will make me feel like I am a good person and a good employee.  It won't happen over night, but hey, it will happen.

Obama is now going to be president for another 4 years...this is a bad thing in many ways because he has yet to do anything that will bring profit to this country and not steal from the masses...

I am praying for a better 4 years and for our re-elected president to wake up and realize that the people of this country want job security, peace and a president who cares about them and the ones defending this nation...that maybe we will find a way to show this president that his medical care program goes against the basic principles that are in our Constitution-LIFE, LIBERTY, and Happiness...these will be taken away from many when or if this stupid medical program takes place...and we can forget the financial deficit it will throw all of us into...especially those out there who actually CAN work for a living and DO work.

Oh well, again, I say I am still a political atheist and I choose to vote when it is necessary but I will stop letting it worry me....

God have mercy on this country and on me.

This makes me want to cry!  How can one person so calmly do this?


Batman Shooting

My heart is in Aurora Colorado!


Remember, the world is dangerous, but you must not let it kill your need to go out and LIVE your life!!

Tired of Things

It seems that I am questioning myself again-as a writer and as a person.


I need to figure out why I am feeling such ennui these days.


I am trying to read Persuasion, but for some reason, my heart isn't in the place to read.  I want to blog on Tea In Austenland about this but it is hard when I cannot get motivated enough even for that.


I will spend time evaluating myself and figure out why this keeps happening.


Though, I do believe that the attitudes and actions of others that I know online have been the root cause of all of my feelings of apathy.  I watch friends doing stupid things and it makes me want to smack the snot out of them, but I only shake my head and contemplate unfriending them on Facebook.


Another part of me is wanting desperately to go back to the way things used to be when I first began playing on the internet, or doing some changes on me and on the things I do now.  I guess I just want to do things differently or go back to the way they used to be with a difference.


I miss doing book reviews and blogs about Diana Gabaldon and Jane Austen, I want to add more to that too.  I am just ready to make my life productive.


I am also tired of the way things are in my personal life.  The same bad habits keep showing up and keep me from doing what I want to do the most.  I want a productive life!
