Two Steps Back

     It's been 5 months since my last post. Clearly, I'm not keeping up on this as well I as I had last year.  I have to say (excuses aside) that it has been a busy, crazy 5 months.  I don't know where to begin to fill you in.  What I will say is that I haven't made much progress in the way of my resolutions.  I think since I was so successful last year, I figured this year would be a gimme.  But it's hard to be fabulous and even harder to keep being fabulous over a long period of time.  I have realized a few things about myself, though, that I'd like to share. 
     I was really, truly planning on going to Australia this year, but due to the fact that I'm terrible at saving money, that dream will have to be put on hold. At least Kristy is coming here in Sept. for a visit.  I can't wait to see her. I'm so glad that I went to Japan, otherwise I wouldn't have met her and made such a cool friend. But I'm trying to get somewhere in the fall, we'll see.  I think I need to revise my resolutions based on my strengths, but it's too late for that now.  I need to keep pressing forward. I don't think I'll be able to get anything published as far as this blog goes, but I am working on two new projects I'm very excited about. I went camping and came up with a great idea for a movie.  I was devastated when I lost the notebook which contained all of my notes, but went camping at the same spot on my own, and made new notes. I think it will be great. IF I can finish it.  I need to seriously make time to write.  My latest project was spawned by my latest rejection.  I think I'm going to pull an Adele and rock out a masterpiece inspired by shit. I'm not the biggest fan of Adele, but she's definitely an inspiration for the jaded! This latest project is about how I'm the best friend in the movie, never the leading lady.  It's not as self-loathing as it sounds, it's actually just an honest and funny look at myself and my friends and how we can all learn to embrace who we are instead of trying to be something we're not.  I'm searching for inner peace.  I hope during the writing of this tale I will not only have written a story that touches and inspires others, but that I will inspire myself!  
   Well, this has been sufficiently random.  But I think I just needed a kick in the ass to get myself writing again. Plus working a graveyard shift gives one time to think and write!  I'm going to take as much advantage of this as I can.  Thanks for letting me ramble to get back in track. More meaty and meaningful entries to come....
