Writing full time is hard, y’all!
Yeah, I’m still trying to get into a nice groove with my writing work since I’ve decided to go full time. My biggest struggle is my schedule. Working on my own time and in a very comfortable and relaxed environment can be a little hard because there are so many distractions. I just have to drill into my head that this is my work now and I have to push myself harder so that I can finish more and earn more. HAH.
Anyway, a few people have asked me about the writing thing, like how I got into it and where I get my jobs. I’ve blogged about it a few times before, but I’ll talk about it again here just for kicks. HAH.

HNY + Book Watch: The Son of Neptune (Rick Riordan)
HNY! Happy New Year! May the year of the water dragon be great for all of us! :P
To celebrate, I read a book. Hah. Yay for geeks. Yay I finished my first book for the year. See? I’m still reading, folks! Okay, granted this is a book for young teens and is really easy to read, I think it still counts as good reading. Rick Riordan makes pretty good stories.
T-Shirt Saturday!
Because I miss T-Shirt Thursdays and I can’t wait for Thursday and I love doing filler posts/nonsense like this when I don’t have anything good to talk about. Woohoo. So sue me. So…

Of new year’s eve movie marathons and a new online find
New Year’s Eve movie marathons
I’m not sure when it started, but for a few years now, a movie marathon has become a new year’s eve/day thing at our house. We’ve had The Lord of the Rings running consistently now. On some years, we threw in a couple of the Starwars flicks when LOTR was done. We usually start any time between the day before new year’s eve or on the day itself or right after the midnight celebration. This year I started it early just because. Watched it a few days ago. LOTR still rocks after all these years.
Let’s measure in LOVE.
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.. In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes how do you measure a year in…

Of bag lady looks, the Wednesday Club and freelance writer things
The Bag Lady
Ever since I got the big Paisley bag, I’ve been meaning to do a post on some of the looks I’ve put together with the bag. Then I realized they’re just my usual getup plus the bag. Hah. Anyway, I decided to just feature what I wore to dinner a few nights ago. I met up with some of my former colleagues from my last firm and this is what I wore. I call it the Bag Lady Look.
TADA! Big skirt plus big bag equals bag lady in the house, y’all! I should have worn the bag on my shoulder in this photo to illustrate. Anyway, just imagine the big blue bag hanging on my shoulder instead of sitting on that divan over there. Do you see it?
