Word count for today (Saturday) and excerpt!

4767 words on HOPE OF THE FUTURE. Really good! Considering I have been having to look back and forth at the other two stories of past, merging them into one. Slow, but couldn't ask for a better total. I was late to start, too, and had to still make dinner, clean, etc. I'm quite happy with that. Indeedy.

Silence.
Edging over to the door, her hand wrapped around the lock. Placing the other over it so nobody would hear the click, she turned it.
“So this is how you repay people who wish to help you?” a deep thick voice whispered in the darkness, causing Hope to start and drop her bag. Spinning around, she wrapped her hand around the blade forever tucked against her back.
Casually standing there without a care in the world, Ronin was leaning against the counter wearing his long leather coat again. Was he out walking at this hour? How’d he get back in and why on earth didn’t she hear him move? Amarathine’s weren’t that good.
Relaxing her grip from the blade, she spun around and snatched the bag off the floor. Throwing it around her shoulder, she went back to the lock. “You have no idea who I am,” she criticized. “I don’t want help. I don’t need it. Just shut the hell up and let me go. It’s better for everyone. I’m better in their past. Always have been; always will be.”

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's GBE is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me. That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even. She said: "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life." Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works. A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
