No time for self pity....

     Okay, here's the deal. I really don't want to take up my time with a lot of self pity. It's not very dignified. So instead I am going to attempt to write a Christmas story.
     I already realize that something about the way I take on a project has to change. Having said that, I figure that I first have to stick to a writing schedule. 
     Okay, okay, got that in my head. I have mapped out the time of day that I will sit down, no matter what and write.
      That sounds pretty easy, so far. Since I know that I have to stick to getting my story written, I've completed my outline and have already began the writing process. It is my hope that I will be able to actually finish this story on time for the holiday.
     Please don't give up on me, not yet anyway. Just hang in there and let's see if I can actually get this one done, on time. The last thing I want to do is stop writing and give up completely.
     Help me keep writing, read my blogs and read my stories. That way I know that something that I do is worth while. Say a big fat prayer for me folks, I certainly need all the prayers that I can get.
     Till next time, be happy.

Wanting to quit !!!

Have you ever been in a place deep down inside of your soul and felt like quitting the one thing you believed you loved the most? Well, people I swear I'm at that place. No matter how hard I try to get a little writing done, it just doesn't workout for me.
     Every single time I have an idea that I want to write about something just pops up and gets in the way of my time. By the looks of things here on blogger I might as well be writing in invisible ink. No one it seems cares one small bit what I write about. I made the choice a while back to publish my stories on blogger for free for the whole wide world to read.
     Geeze, people, could somebody out there care enough to even read free stuff, no!!!
I'm at a point where I am truly considering stopping my writing all together. I don't think anyone would give a crap even if I did. 
     I love to write and there's not a day that goes by that my mind isn't creating a story of some kind. Can't get anyone important to look at my stuff and can't get anyone anywhere else to read it either. Do I really stink that bad as a writer and creator of words and stories?
     For now, I just don't know what to do anymore. It's so sad for me that the one thing that I thought I was somewhat good at may be the worse thing I do. Who knew this would be my life such as it is now.
     Well, no matter what I decide, I hope you all will find something worth while to read and enjoy. Until we meet again or not, be good to yourself and one another. You never know when someone could use a little support to get by.

Later,
CJ

Curse of The Littles white House

Okay, so I finally finished my latest short story. I hope someone out there in the world wide web will want to read it.
I know that I'm a little late for a Halloween story, so just take it as it is and have some fun.
Some of this story is based on my childhood from when I grew up in South West, Atlanta. Georgia, parts of it is just my mind. 
No matter which part is real and which part is my imagination, I hope you will enjoy the story.
Till next time. Peace to all.

The Struggle.

Is it just me or are there others' out there in the world wide web who at times are over whelmed? It seems that as hard as I try to get things done especially with my writing, I just fail. Holy crisis people life is so very strange these days. 
My daughter fell and hurt herself causing a laceration in her kidney which lead to bleeding into her abdominal wall. So, being the always concern mother I took off to Alabama to stay with her until she had healed and the crisis was over. Then if that wasn't enough my good friend who is single fell that Monday after I had returned home injuring her knee and was unable to drive or work. So, being the good friend that I am, I took her to the doctor, had her stay with me and my husband making sure that she could recover and get back to her job.
Hopefully for now the world will spin the way it is suppose to and no one else will have awful things happen to them. In the meantime as you can see my Halloween story got put to the side. So now I'm hoping to convert my little story to well just a story.
If the universe will stay in good order for a few minutes I am going to try to get back to my writing.
I'm not sure why the heck this time of year always seems to turn up side down on me, but knowing that I can jump up, not to high anyways, I will continue to push on forward and get back to tapping these keys.
I am so sorry for the interruption, but life is a challenge even on a good day. So hang in there with me people, I'm back blogging and working on all sorts of things. 
I'll be right here, tonight, late night doing my thing, working and writing. Till we meet again, peace out y'all.
Hugs. Remember to give thanks to all of our veterans here in America and everywhere world wide. 
My personal thank you to our military personal world wide. My husband served in the Navy during Vietnam, and his father served in the navy during 2nd World War; my dad was Army at the end of the 2nd World War and my grandfather perished in Europe after 2 years of service in the army during World War 2, so for those serving today I say thank you for you do us proud. God bless you all. Hoorah.. Semper -Fi. Much love to all.
