When I first started this blog, I was in a very different place emotionally, physically, and about any other -ly you can think of.
Me in 2014
Me in 2010
I'm going through some pretty hard-core health drama at the moment, and I have found myself unable to write. My plan is to move this blog in a new direction, to either write about topics you (my readers) recommend or what I see on the news. Or maybe the naked guy in a Santa jacket my husband and daughter saw at the ice cream shop yesterday.
If there are topics you'd like me to tackle, please either comment below or read through some of the posts I'm linking and ask for clarification or to look at something from a different angle. You can contact me at kloud1026 at yahoo(dot)com. I have got to get rid of this stupid writer's block (I intend to leave a mark on the world in some way), so please, I encourage suggestions for writing topics.
Going back to the beginning of this blog (gulp), here are some things I think might be interesting reads for newcomers ...
* My sister and I had the most epic Facebook conversation ever. It gets into horse urine and lettuce and really odd places. I just peed a little when I reread it ;-p
* In 1998, I was raped at a small party at a friend's house. I can say those words aloud now, but back when I wrote this, I could only write them.
* Stephen King on writing before he wrote On Writing; in fact, he compares it to masturbation. Okay, he's a little weird, but best author ever, really!
* I'm quite amused by my random ramblings about pink tissues. Who knew?
* This is where I honor the man my ex-husband used to be. I forgot some of the finer things about him, and I'm sorry to report that they haven't returned.
* I got caught up on why children's television is so milquetoast these days. It's a bit soap-boxy, but I enjoyed rereading it.
* If you know me well at all, you know I am fascinated by Charles Manson. That is explained a bit here.
* If you are from New Hampshire, you are probably familiar with the name Michael Addison. I am still bothered by the potential racism in a criminal case here in the Granite State.
* Way back in 2009, I got rather indignant at the whole "Lipstick on a Pig" debacle during the Obama vs. McCain election.
* I used Socrates to talk about the Easter Bunny in this post. That sort of makes it a must-read.
I guess that's a pretty wide variety of posts for you to read, if you're interested. Again, starting tomorrow, I am blogging daily. I am hoping desperately to find something to write about since I've been blocked for so long. Please share your ideas in comments or via e-mail and let me know if you read any of those Golden Oldies listed above.
I'm sort of laughing and crying both right now ... and wishing I had a pink tissue.
Be well,

I want to hear more about this naked Santa man. I also think it'd be interesting to hear you perspective on what it's like being a parent to a child abroad.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like an update on how the whole book thing is coming along. I'd like to read that in print form someday ya know.
