I seem to be writing in here a lot lately.

I feel like having a hide out vacation. A hibernatory one. The kind this character in my story, Shelia gets to take. She goes out to a small windy town in Maine and lives in a small house by the ocean and does nothing but write, eat breakfast at the local coffee shop, get her news from the dailies and submit all her work online or by mail. It would be one of those "finding myself" forever trips, and I would still have sustenance but I would have lots of time to find myself, away from the hustle and bustle of trying to prove myself or trying to be something I try so hard to be.

That was the whole idea of buying this laptop, to work on my writing, to find a way to work my way into living that kinda lifestyle, though I know I am so far from it, there is nothing I do or can do that wouldn't require me to work. That lifestyle is too bourgeoise for me. But since I got the pc I still haven't been able to get back into the groove of even typing fast enough.


However back to my weekend. In my yearning for a hibernation crossed with re-reading some chapters in my stories, I thought about editing, My Love Where Art Thou, that episode of Simple Kind of Life where Shelia falls in love, really falls in love for the first time with some other man asides from Keanu. At first, I had made it AJ, it still is on the site that is, but I thought of doing some re-writes on it this weekend, maybe because I don't feel for AJ like that anymore---yes, I loose interest quickly what else is new---and because I thought this is one of her first chances at love, I wanna make it someone memorable, who would pose somewhat of a threat where Keanu is concerned, who would look like he could sweep her off her feet and would eventually. You can only guess who my mind went to. Well, actually there are supposed to be two great loves: I am thinking of making her fall in love once again in Maine, just before he comes back to her. I know Anthony would play a part I just don't know where, perhaps he should play AJ"s part since they both have similar qualities, tattoos and music. Then, the later part....maybe Vin. Who knows? Or someone crafted in his likeness, whatever that may be...so that's what I've been thinking about, my work, my stories, my craft, and my dream to become a good fucking writer, who can afford to live out on my own and still be famously wealthy.

Lastly, I am thinking of buying a domain, maybe right here on blogger and then, I'd post Simple kind of life on it. It would require a lot of advertising since many peoople already know that address but I just feel like this is the time to get the exposure I feel like I deserve and at $5 a month, you can't go wrong.

So good luck to my yearn for writing, my craft as a lawyer, and my life as a woman.

I pray I have a good week too. Amen!
