Well, after several months of thoughts, it has come time. Today. On Thanksgiving, if I were American, but the thankful thoughts and relief are there anyway for me. Last night I made a decision. It’s been passed through and ratified through my supportive family, and it feels right. It makes me extremely scared, but also [...]

Some may have noticed the disappearance of writing on this blog for – well, ages. Some who have tracked me onto my Second Life blog may think I’m doing okay, but look like I have submersed myself into writing blog posts onto, and about Second life. You’re probably right.

Well, writing hasn’t been going that well lately. Mine, at least. Although my other blog has been going incredibly well, as I’ve sunk myself into living a second life. But as for my real life….

Well, I’m back. At least I hope I am. Not only did I take a much needed solstice from this blog and other writing projects over the last few weeks, but in that time the domain expired on Juicedonwriting.com, and I never received notification from my domain biller.

I’m not writing. Full stop. Despite my best intentions, the world has done it’s darndest and I’ve struck the first time in my life when my writing goals are, in reality, just incompatible with my life. The family adoption thing is just too intense, and as we’ve come to that period (after a three year [...]

We live in interesting times. Although there remain warzones out there, and we, as a world, have many responsibilities and challenges towards our ecosystems, poverty and our economies, in our everyday lives, attempts to be “politically correct” have severe consequences, even to the way we write a school report.

In my next post I’ll be discussing a 10K challenge which is going on today. Now, I happen to know that I could – and often have – achieve that challenge, if I were in the right writing project. I’ve previously achieved 10,000 words a day on several occasions, and sometimes more than that. But [...]
