I made lemonade

When your life is stagnant and you find yourself lost, what is the best way to get out of it? Well, just recently I figured out the answer to this very question. Rewrite your life!

Why not? Who says you have to stay in one place, stay with one person, stay with one job? It's not easy, and you will certainly encounter some opposition along the way, but working with a clean slate is much easier than writing over the old one.

The part I like about myself most, is my ability to make snap decisions, jump into the pool head first, take a leap without always looking down. Now, sometimes this method can land me in some sticky situations, but again, if I take another step, I can usually dig myself out of it.

Anyway, enough with the metaphors. I am in a new place now. After growing up in a small town, marrying my highschool boyfriend and buying the perfect little house-sans the white pickett fence, I found myself completely bored and unhappy.

Ah how I have missed the methodical tapping of the keys as I let my thoughts flow out onto the screen. It feels so good to release my thoughts, feelings, experiences and twist it into a fresh story. Life has been so hectic for me lately, that writing has been the very last thing on my mind. Over the last 3 months, every time I would sit down to write I found myself at a loss for words (which is quite unusual for me). Until one day, writing wasn't on my daily agenda at all. The art of writing is not always as easy as putting words together to form sentances. And writing is just that...ART. And when we become so distracted with circumstances around us, it can be extremely difficult to communicate exactly what you mean to say. I think I might be rambling here, forgive me, it's been a while since I have vented. Anyway, I sat down this afternoon and managed to begin a short for my site that I feel very passionate about. It's like going to the gym for the first time in months. It's so hard ...More >>

Mizzy,

Only 14 connections? You're slacking off. Didn't you want to participate in the IKHTE story or its successor? IKHTE2 is dying (pun intended) for someone to help me revive it. Not sure if Burkett is still around, but I had the ball in my court to do something next, filling in a blank between wheat he'd sent me and where I'd left off. Are you game to get involved?

Oh, there, I am up to 15 connections now haha.

Yeah sure why not. My connections are slacking because I had to change my profile lol. And I guess some of my old connections don't come on anymore.
I don't think Matt comes on here much anymore. I will tell him IKHTE2 needs a boost.
So are you working on the next installment? When will it be up? I can take it from there.
Let me know :)
