I am 31. I just broke up with the man who I thought I would marry. The man who I wanted to be the father of my children. I date, drink, and work jobs to make money. I dance but I make nothing creative of my own. I am empty but I don’t know what to … Continue reading A Writing Timeline

Quarantime- Progress
This morning I felt tired. Not because of the what’s happening in the world, but because I had a chihuahua wake me in the middle of the night. Despite that, I started the cloudy, dreary day with determination to make things happen. I found a cabin I was interested in buying. I had started the … Continue reading Quarantime- Progress
Quarantime- The Two Hawks
This morning I awoke feeling drowsy. The sun was peaking over the mountain. Yet, I knew it would not be a day like yesterday.

1/26/2018 I saw a photo of Baudelaire. He looks evil. I had to go to the bathroom so badly on the train, I almost peed myself. I said sorry twice while I was in Chicago.
