Something I came across in my travels...

by plainsue

Rated: E · Book · Internet/Web · #492316

A writer uses whatever he/she make come across to get her creative juices going.

I surf many websites..seeking advise and seeking ideas from many sources.Sometimes, a quote or some kind of saying..hits home..or gets my creative juices moving..Here's a quote with no author behind it, I found on lablaugh.com..
The only way...
The only way you truly fail is to stop trying altogether.

I want to be a writer...but I get writer's block and stress..kills my creative sense..so I seek....Thank you

Hey Kare Enga! I like what you wrote. Thanks for sharing. When you said, I grow bolder as I grow older, well I believe that too.

I write to let the gas out... no, not always pretty; but if I hold it in I blow!

Sometimes I do want to make a point and sometimes I have to choose my words carefully. That said, I grow bolder as I grow older.

Warm fuzzies are nice, and far better than cold pricklies... but... reality can bite.

Well, Kare Enga in Montana. because of incident I got a spoken to from my Supervisor, her supervisor, union representative, and human resources, Wow what a day! They told me to apologize to her. Part of me wants to but the other says it was her fault. I will eventually apologize. Thanks for the read.

It's not always easy to navigate a workplace. There are times I misspoke; but, other times I should have filed formal complaints.

Time to move on if the place becomes too toxic; one should be happy.

I became an orphan this week; found out today. You are fortunate to have had close family. Our reality is a bit more complicated.

Find happiness in what you have. If East Lansing has snow, rejoice in snow!

I left everything years ago. Lost contact with lots of wonderful people; but, it was too toxic to stay.

The last two years of Covid have crushed me. I need to travel and it's still iffy internationally.

As a senior I concur. Over a year later it still causes divisions within the older generation and between generations as well. Montana is an anti-masker, anti-vaxxer, anti-everything state.

I think the pandemic has been so detrimental for people's mental well-being. We won't even know the full scope of it until after the pandemic is over.

1) No.

2) Improving still.

3) The ideas play around in my head. There are many. Before writing, I never realized that my mind stored so much.

4) Nobody in my family reads. My mother reads, but she feels my stories are not that good.

5) Yes. I read them, review them to learn.

6) Hobby.

7) What is a usual muse?

8) Computer. I only use pen and paper to scribble.

9) Sometimes, yes. But I don't fret about it. It happens. I have 1001 things to finish in life. I just go and finish those things.

10) Sometimes, yes. But it is more like a compulsion to write.

Do you like critiques giving or receiving?

I hate critiques but I know they are helpful when needed. Sometimes, I make believe a person who is giving critiques is a editor or a teacher. Then I am able to take what they say and use it. If someone gives the right critique then it is not hard to take you can learn from it.

Today we stuffed peppers..That is what happened today

Today July 18, 2016 my sister Shelly and I stuffed peppers. Bell, Sweet, and green peppers and they were delicious. We walked about a mile in half to fruit market. I always tell my sister Shelly I will only get a few things. I bought 34 items. But we sure do enjoy cooking together has sisters. One thing I had learned from Shelly today is how afraid she is to do anything wrong. Her boyfriend made her to be like that. She really is a good cook. Just like my mother was. And my other sisters. Shelly tries to do no wrong and ends up hurting herself like burning herself. I always give Shelly leftovers to take home whenever she comes over but not for her boyfriend. It was 90 degrees outside and inside my crappy apartment. Glad we did it. I am going to eat good the next few days.

Why has it been a while since I Blog last?

Hello Fellow bloggers and readers:

I am sorry I have not been around lately. I have been busy with on line college work and regular work. I am not happy about either. College work, well, I failed a class and I am upset about it. I am retaking one that I dropped a long time ago and they gave me a fail for it. That's okay, I knew that was coming. The last one was a stupid fail. I am ashamed of myself for it. My stubborn pride and stupidity is making me hating to take it again. But I must. In do time I will feel better and step right up to the plate and just do it. At work, I had to say "Good bye" to someone I trained many years ago. I have grown to love her like a good sister and co-worker that she is. My heart is so hurting. I know my friend will be okay in her new surroundings. Whatever I taught her will come out and slap people in the face. In do time I will get over it.

Death is not the end to a person

Hello Fellow Writers and Creative Nuts!

Death of someone is not the end of that person. They are still in your heart and mind. To say your not gonna think of them is the death of them. Using that person in your writing or other creative way helps keep that person alive in your soul. I know, its tough and it hurts. Its a good hurt too! Some people who die need to be remember to continue to tell their story. Not just famous people but others too.

Soul Journaling Group

Hello Fellow Writers!

I just started going every third Tuesday of the month a Journal group. I am excited to be with other writers just like on here. With work and online college courses I feel my writing is going stale. I love talking and sharing my feelings about writing with other writers. I am still afraid of what other people think of my writing that is why I am here.

Do you think were technology overloaded?

Do you think were technology overloaded? One day I felt we were. First thing I did when I got up is look at my iphone. After had my coffee, I turned on the computer. After a few hours I read a story on my Nook tablet. Did a hour exercise on WiiU! Watched some TV. Then took a nap and still felt drained. Got to stop depending on these devices so much.

Making someone happy or not is the question

What a good question? It feels good to be happy and to make someone else happy. But sometimes you can't do it no matter what you do or say. It is up to that person. Do we need to do it has humans? Yes and no. Every once in awhile we do but we need to take the outcome no matter what. Everyone is different and everyone responds different to different things. So if your happy and you know it clap your hands! If your not, well I hope you are tomorrow or the next day.
