My friends, My Artist's Way journey has come to a halt this week...I haven't been writing my morning pages...I didn't do an artist's date this week...and I think I figured out why (aside from starting a new day job, sigh). I am terrified. Why am I terrified? Because I don't know what my book is… Continue reading Blocked. Just…Blocked.

“Madness” Poem
"Madness" by C.S. Kinnaird Spin pterodactyl echoes Lonesome moldy shoes Rocking empty cradles I want to go home This world is at war I am no soldier Crush me so gently Sing me into death Last longing guzzles Tombs crying nothings I am left behind I am undone Swallow my energy… Continue reading “Madness” Poem
“I Am” Poem
I got inspired by my previous post where I mentioned Zeina and her great blog of poetry. Today I snagged a little notebook and made some scribbles: "I Am" I am a cold, raging sea I am a storm, rushing through mountains I tumble boulders I crash ships I am unstoppable My fury knows… Continue reading “I Am” Poem
A Depressed Writer Day
A Big Shout-Out Today was a weird day for me, writing and "In Real Life". But before I get to that gunk, I want to do a big, joyous, arm-flinging SHOUT OUT!! To my wonderful, new, shiny and squiggly 39 new followers...I wish I could do a shout-out post for all of you. Alas,… Continue reading A Depressed Writer Day
The Artist’s Way, Week 2, Ch. 1: The Artist’s Date & Morning Pages
My Second Chapter of Reading The Artist's Way Reading chapter 1 of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way was not easy. My mind wanted me to skip over it, or parts of it. It said, "What are you doing? This is stupid. You read this just last year! What a waste of time." But I told… Continue reading The Artist’s Way, Week 2, Ch. 1: The Artist’s Date & Morning Pages
Snip, Snip, Snip…
On request of my friend btlowry, fellow WordPress writer and blogger, I'm posting another snippet of my own fiction!

So far for me, it's strange and exciting.… Continue reading Snip, Snip, Snip…
Of Writing Progress and Reading Steampunk
Recently I joined a fun website to keep myself accountable about writing something every day, even if it's just journaling. The website requires you to write 750 words a day, and gives you badges as rewards for hitting special rungs of the ladder. Here's a bit of a journal entry today; please excuse my sleepy… Continue reading Of Writing Progress and Reading Steampunk
The Internal Story
While my follow up to my post on cliche is coming soon, I wandered into this amazing article on Writer Unboxed. The articles on WU are usually amazing, however, this one particularly struck me, because it spoke to my current struggle in my current WIP 2nd draft. Right now I am working on a 500… Continue reading The Internal Story

The Crazy, Starving, Disorganized Writer
This is me right now. Crazy, starving and disorganized. From Sharon's Super Secret Eden Blog I'll have a moment where I'm totally in the writing, sweetly diving in, getting all these great ideas...zoning out, like the lady in the above picture... And then I'm like this the next day: N Not a word… Continue reading The Crazy, Starving, Disorganized Writer
