I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Poisoned Purple Pen

She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be

TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

<---I am blown away by this

I am feeling for you and your husband and his family. What a marvelous rant. I know you are fuming with anger and righteously you should, I think it's great you found words. Your heart in the matter should be heard here at WdC. It's not always about fairies and stuff and I sometimes wonder indeed what kind of writers we are if not talking and writing about stuff that matters. I blame myself as well. Thank you for this rant! And take a deep breath.

So sorry for your family's loss, T. I've been through that sadness with the loss of a couple expected grandchildren. It's a terrible loss.

Q. You know why DJT will never have a heart attack no matter how many burgers he eats?

A. He has no heart.

I'm at risk for covid so I try to be careful but I live in a building with shared facilities and I have no control over what other people do. I feel trapped. So yeah, I'm not happy.

I don't think DJT is totally to blame. His lack of leadership is obvious and painful, but the American public, the covid-deniers (and anti-vaxxers), the 'Muh Freedom' crowd and anti-anything-everything crowd has put everyone (including themselves) at great risk.

Postpone a dinner by a week? This shit can linger for months! So... either just say no or be prepared for more illness. And yes, I hate to agree with you about your dearly loved husband but give him a kick from me.

How about a First Day of Spring or Easter Dinner? Covid might be calming down by then.

I don't even want to get started on Trump. I'll just say you and I are on the same wave length!

2020 has been a challenging year, for sure. Off the top of my head, I know 12 people who have died. Two of covid, three of cancer, one heart attack, and the others are unknown and I hate to ask. The woman who died yesterday, died of covid. She was so scared when she found out she'd gotten it (three weeks ago.) A few days before that, my mail lady died of cancer. She couldn't've known long before that that she'd had it because a few months ago, she was her usual chatty, happy self complaining about the mail system and looking forward to retiring. I've been so sad about these two ladies today. And also for the others who have passed this year, especially my aunt, who also had covid. I was so lucky to have mild symptoms when I had it.

Actually, I'd rather talk about our piece of shit president. Then I can take all my frustrations out on him.

So sorry you haven't been able to hang out with your mom. That's got to be tough, especially this time of year. One of these days, this virus will be behind us and life will be less stressful and we'll have a different president. Hang in there! You're in good company.

It may be Toni

Motivational Monday! Musician David Gilmour, born on this day in 1947, once said, "It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you." In what way or ways does your writing preserve any kind of legacy?

I'm an emotional kind of girl. A lot of my stories have bits and pieces of me in them, and usually relate to what is going on with me. Back in the 90s when I had a borrowed laptop, I wrote my first novel in 24 hours. 50, 000 words. I barely slept that I night. I remember having so much to say and that character wouldn't leave me alone until I got that story written. It turned into a 4 book series. I was big time into V.C. Andrews at the time, and the story followed that route. I tortured poor Toni, and even put her through something that actually happened to me in high school.

I had a boyfriend, and when we broke up, he immediately started dating my best friend. Big OUCH! This wasn't too long after Christmas. I had given him a bracelet with his name engraved on it. After we broke up, I was sitting in the cafeteria with a friend, when someone I didn't even know walked past me and dropped the box the bracelet came in on the table in front of me. I cringed when I saw it because the noise coming from that box told a story. It didn't sound like a link bracelet any longer. You could hear the links clinking together like coins. I picked it up and looked inside to discover that I was right. He had taken the bracelet apart link by link, and returned it to me. I lost my 16 year-old mind. My uncle had the same name. I could've given it to him, but nope.

I'll never forget how my anger took over that day. It was like I was having a hot flash because I specifically remember how hot I was. I marched over to their lunch table, stood about 5 feet from them and started yelling. I don't remember what I said, but I took that box and threw it at him, hitting him in the forehead. The box of course opened and the links went all over the cafeteria. I marched out with tears burning my eyes. Funny thing was, so many people actually witnessed it. I was the talk of school for days over that.

So Toni's horrible boyfriend in my novel is completely based on Mark.

I think a lot of my writing holds information about me, stories from my past, how I feel about people and things happening in my life. Once I heard the saying, write what you know, I guess I took that to heart. If that's a legitimate legacy, I don't know, but there you have it.
