Cannibal Captivation
Okay, yeah, you caught me. Not my best alliteration, but it will have to make due.  Today we’re talking about Hannibal.  So, either you’ve heard a lot of buzz about this show or you have no idea what I’m talking about. Hopefully you have at least some idea of Hannibal Lecter from his previous incarnations, whether in novel or film. Hannibal Lecter, in case you don’t know, is a fictional...

An Open Letter to My Mom
Mother’s Day approaches and every year I ask myself what could I possibly do when I’m 600 miles away from the woman who gave birth to me. I go through a list of routine gifts you can order or send in care packages and it never seems right or enough. Not to mention I don’t often have much money to spare on gifts, but I try very hard to think of things I can send to her that will...

It's Not Easy Being Green
As a creative individual, I often find myself comparing my personal work to the work of others. It has been a blessing and a curse my entire life.  I remember from a very young age being incredibly jealous of the talent of people around me. I would try and try and barely scratch the surface of the quality of work they were producing. Whether it was in art, writing, or acting, it didn’t...

Thoughts on Self Expression
I once had this boyfriend. We’re not together anymore and there was a lot about that relationship that was toxic on a lot of levels. Not to say that he wasn’t a great guy in many ways, but there were some aspects that were too much for me and I’m not someone who likes to waste time in a relationship that isn’t working.  But, despite the fact that the relationship didn’t end as well as I would’ve...

Being a Writer Sucks
For a lot of reasons. But mostly just one.  For the better part of the last eighteen or nineteen years (as long as I’ve had relatively good speaking abilities) I liked telling stories. When I was a kid it was through art. I liked drawing and painting and crafting. This was probably due to the fact that my grandfather painted landscapes in oil and he was fairly decent at it. Some of his work...

Woo Your Idea
I’ve been thinking about writing lately.  Shocking, I know. Being a writer and all. Me? Writing? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BROUGHT THIS ON? I think it’s this intangible need explore and expose those raw threads of worry niggling at my brain. I used to be very good at ranting my thoughts in a comical way. I feel as if I’ve lost a shred of that, like it’s burrowed deep into...

firelordsara: Most days I sit around questioning why the hell I want to be a writer because it seems like everything I produce is total crap.  But then there’s a glorious day where a few wonderful blessed people validate my existence as a glorified time waster and I feel that once again all is right with the world.  This will probably last all of about 3 days and then I’ll be back to angst....
