Flipping through the Pages of Me

I thought I would write more over the summer, but I had met a new temporary friend. She helped me get out more and I did get to see the miracle of life with her dog. I should write about it.We got out more and honestly, between chores, cleaning, and helping her out, I did not get to write as much as I would have liked. Again, I will write about it on my babble/bumble blog. Becky BumblesI had a…

April was supposed to be Camp NaNoWriMoI walked up to the camp grounds that I had been to many years before. . . the sign was not newly painted, in fact it was hanging . . . swinging lose against the snow and rain storms it had seen. The light flickered a bit and went out. The stories it could tell. The stories created within its walls: some finished and published. Others struggled and at least…

I found out that NaNoWriMo (national novel writing month) ….had Camps in April and July. Noticed I said, had. I’m flustered as they are stopping as money was going to wrong places, AI issues (a computer doesn’t tell a story right.), and scandal with a minor caused it to fold under. Sighs. It helped me with encouragement and word counter to keep me focus on my stories and such. I wanted to be…

One of my pure moments of bliss was sitting at a computer typing furiously as ideas and scenes pour out. It has been a long time, and I struggle to get that bliss back. When it does come, it only comes in single days or moments, not constant. Between the care-giving for my family and the toxic environment I am in, it has been really hard to simply write. Currently, I have been helping to clean…

Things I learned in 2024My own head has caused my writer’s block. The more I write for therapy, the more I write. I write well and much when it’s therapeutic. I get more out of coloring and writing than I have with my last four therapists. My own head has caused my writer’s block. If I cannot make it as novelist, then I would like to be a creative art therapist. I have been trying to balance my…

I’m working on finishing projects this year… My project is called catch-up. I trying to catch up all blogs, stories and projects. I’m not starting anything new this year. My mini goal is at least 30,000 words typed. If need more writing buddies add me https://nanowrimo.org/participants/rebekah1213

I had to take it out to publish it.

I’m working a project called Vortex…. It’s a mixture of genres: horror, thriller, drama, psychology. My person goal is 30,000 words. If I make more then awesome. I also have a personal project of releasing my past. However it will not be my main focus. I need to start enjoying the now and not dwelling on the past. My camp NaNoWriMo name Rebekah1213.. My profile…

I did two projects within thirty days. The first one I was about my emotional health…my inner shadow work, my PTSD moments, and some anxiety.  I got over forty thousand words. The second was a story was for NaNoWriMo anthology. I wrote over ten thousand words with notes, the actual story and several edits. I only gave myself a word count goal of thirty thousand, but I made fifty. However when…

This year has been like being stuck upside on a roller coaster while they are searching amusement park ticket. . . It’s only been the first three months. Sighs. I claim that the other nine months will be so much better. We had started to year with paperwork and money issues that was so stressful that gave my brother, with a million other health issues, ulcers and breathing issues. I finally got…

What is your favorite type of weather? 65 to 75 degrees Light breeze Sunny, blue skies: fluffy clouds Where I can take a walk and read outside

After the 24th of this month, I’ll be down for a while as I’m getting carpel tunnel surgery. I am frustrated as I was 11,411 words short of my 600,000 word goal for 2023. https://rebekahquinne.wordpress.com/2023/01/ I did manage to write something everyday thanks to my boyfriend and writing partner. I love you and thank you my sweetie! I didn’t finish the projects, but I am currently finish a…

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? I have written about this before. I want L shape desk. I want comfy computer chair. On the walls, I would put my art. I need a printer as I like to print out and edit with red pen. I would want a space for a future podcast.

It’s been a rough year for my writing. I’ve been fighting several health issues: carpal tunnel, migraines, nausea, depression and anxiety. I’ve been healing from my hysterectomy as well. Most of my writings had been my therapy as the three therapists this year didn’t do much. The third one at least tried. On November 27th of this year (2023,) I hit the million word mark. However the milestone…

I have learned that writing a huge project like a novel or series or script or a book . . . it is NOT a one day affair. (Short stories, poems, and articles can possibility be written in a day.)In fact, the most I have ever written in one day was just over ten k (10,000 words) . . . after average novel is between 75,000 and 90,000 words.The day I wrote that many words: I was not cleaning, or…

I read this article. Please Stop Telling Me to Find My PurposeWanting a roof over my head should be enough.ByAnonymousFinding Purpose https://www.wondermind.com/article/purpose-driven-life/ And I saw the movie Author Anonymous. It’s about a writing group. I get the cliches, and it makes me realize that even the younger and pretty writers get picked first…. Grrrr. (They are more attractive and…

I have several hand problems. . . I have had them for years. . . Warts on my finger that are fighting back. . . .they will not go away. (I had to go to dermatologist just to get very strong cream that has made very sensitive to the sun and has messed up my skin badly. I honestly think that I got them holding a pen that someone else with the HPV virus. . . be careful what you touch. . . It’s been…
