Normally, I spend the first week of December writing and sending out Christmas cards. With the sadness of this year, I really want to make the Christmas Cards special. What that’ll be, I don’t know at the moment.
However, with our postal service taking a strike for a whole week at a time, I feel like I need to get a quick start on them! Especially for those overseas!
Just because a person writes children’s books, (or children’s books that adults secretly read) does not make them an automatically a good person. You all are aware of this, right? Although I am going to mention Rolf Harris, I am directing it at another child’s author. A author who transphobes are trying to use that as justification, as why she can’t possibly be a bad person.
I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot this year…It doesn’t matter if you’re a sci-fi writer, a romance writer, a crime writer, a children’s writer, a non-fiction writer…The writing, the book, does not make a person good or bad. A person is just bad or good.
Rowling, fantastic, that she got both children and adults (even though I always have…Yes, I’m gloating,lol) to read again…Stiiiiiiiiiill a bigot,lol. Just like Rolf Harris got people, children, into reading and being creative…Stiiiiiiiiill a pedophile.
30. Your highs and lows for the month
If you would like to particpate in this 30 Day Writing Challenge…Please head over the to the lovely “Life, Entirely” wordpress blog post. While you’re there, give her a bit of a read.
29. What are your goals for the next 30 days?
28. Post about five things that make you laugh out loud.
27. Conversely, writing about something that you are currently kicking ass at
I think that I am kicking ass at keeping myself together, and knowing my limits. I’m currently on a Twitter detox. I just felt like the stupid was really getting out there stupid. I think it’s important to know your limits and to stick at them. It’s very easy to go into automatic mode and just do what you always do. If you feel you need a day off of work, take it off. If you feel you need the day to stay at home, stay. If you feel the need to get out, get out, even if it’s just for a walk around the suburbs.
If you need to have that extra slice of chocolate cake, have it…Unless you’re allergic to it of course. Then do not.
At the moment, I am concentrating on cleaning up the house. My partner moved in about mid-end of March, we’ve only really done a huge clean, once. Well, I have. Even though I told him if he bought I wasn’t cleaning…I do…lol. Doing some gardening on the good Winter days. I am also concentrating on getting the last of my studies done, before the mid-year holidays start next year. I am also concentrating on what I can do before
26. Write about an area in your life that you would like to improve on.
I would like to be able to motivate myself more. I don’t know how many of you read my other30 Day writing challenge Day 17.
That was about my Zodiac sign, and how much of it can I relate. Well stubbornness is probably the biggest way I can relate to being a Taurus. When you’re not motivated to do something and you are STUBBORN as…It can be hard to get over that hump. We’re not talking about your every day procrastination, I’m talking about PROCRASTINATION…
I stop myself from SO much, because I genuinely don’t want to do, if it’s a task I’m doing, because of work or homework. Or that I really scary myself or don’t believe in myself enough to push myself. I am like the Bull, stop and stood still.
25. Think of any word. Search for it on Google Images. Write something that inspired you by the 11th image
I decided to search Google for the word “sunshine”.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey. You’ll never know dear, how much I loved you…Why’d you take my sunshine away.
24. Write about a lesson, you’ve learned about the hard way
I think that the hardest lesson that I learnt is that it’s better to be alone, than to feel alone. When my Pa, my mums dad, died. I was in a relationship that I didn’t want to be in. I chose to stay. I didn’t want to lose anybody else. The problem was, when my Pa died, I lost probably the most positive male influence I had in my life. My partner at the time, was not a bad person, persay, but he had no backbone either.
His roommate hated my guts. I think he might be gay, and was in love with my partner at the time. My partner, had no backbone. I kept waiting for him to step up for me, he never did. I walked around the corner and found a fist in my face, from his room mate. When I told my partner about it, he said that I needed to stop making trouble.
We went out one night, and while we were waiting for the bus, there was this group of young guys who looked a little like they might be trouble. I realised after a while, that he, my partner, had gone behind me. Leaving my front vulnerable. Our mutual friend who was with us at the time, noticed this too and we started to make fun of him.
I should have broken up with him a LOT sooner than I did, but I was frightened though, I held on. Went through another 6 months of being bullied and being used as a shield -.- It’s one of the rare regrets I have in my life.
23. A letter to someone, anyone.
Too you,
You are doing it, every time you get up again, you have another day to make it better. And I see you, I see how you’re making it better. We have got each other hands, holding them together, even if it’s only through air. You and I have both got this.
You’re a good person, you deserve good things and you shall have good things! You have someone who want to help you make good things a reality for you! Just keep focusing on the light, keep looking forward.
Sometimes looking back is just a trap.
