I did it. I submitted some writing. Now I’m working on keeping tabs on my hopes- which are UP. They are so far up I’d be embarrassed if they were visible. Like I’m pretty positive that this submission is going to change my life forever.
Actually, I suppose in a way it already has, right? Just gathering the courage (which took weeks by the way) and getting the project done, and actually submitting it, means that my life has taken a dramatic shift. I don’t have to cry into the couch about not being able to move forward anymore. I also have a little less ammunition for my bad self- the self who tells me I’m a loser and a lazy turd. So suck on that bad self!
Now, if I could just finish unpacking my apartment, lose these 15 pounds, outline my book, finish a screenplay, and make my hair grow 10 inches, I’d be in the money. In the meantime, I guess I’ll settle for a box a week, a pound a week, and writing as much as I can. Even these little accomplishments remind me how far I’ve come from May 16th. That day that I felt like my veins were filled with cement and my heart was ground into a pulp.
I’m alive little baby, and I’m living for you and Daddy. And I’m going to make you so proud of how I used the gifts you gave me.
Congratulations! I love this news.
Thank you Blue! It was tough but necessary. xo

I am smiling big for you right now.
You are doing it! Moving forward one step at a time and living…. with goals!!!!!!!! You are not just letting life happen, you are DOING something about it! Way to go! So happy to read your news. There may be small setbacks here and there, but you have SO much to be proud of right now. Look at how you are coming through a very hard experience and using the gifts within the love that came out of that very hard experience to be, to create and to become….
I would wish you luck, but you don’t need luck. Hmm. Isn’t that funny how this all works out? I may need some advice. A little direction. And a sounding board. You are fulfilling what we all knew you were capable of and destined to do. Man!!! You just made my day!! GO!! GO!!! GO!!!!
Way to go! Fingers are crossed for you!
