Me, Creativity, and My ADD…
...or why it takes me so long to finish a story. Yup, I am coming out. I have ADD, and with my problem, I have great days, good days, and days where nothing gets done. I am not medicated.

The Crafty, the Artsy, and the Uninformed…
For those of you that haven't been with me through my many blogs, I am a crafts-person. I make jewelry, or will when I get another workshop, practice calligraphy, write, and dabble with drawing and paper crafts. I used to sell what I made before it was all stolen.

Me? In Movies? What?
So, as many of you know, I set goals for myself this year, and one of those was to have three clients for whom I will write. Well, I have two, possibly three. The first one is a long-time client that I had to put on hold when I was homeless. The second one I… Continue reading Me? In Movies? What?
If You Don’t Like it, You Don’t Have to Look…
...Or stop "fixing" the artwork of others. It's not broken. In between video editing, writing for clients, and working on my personal novels, I read and doodle. If you haven't gotten into Zentangles, I would recommend you give it a try. It's very relaxing and I do them when I want to zone out. Pitcher… Continue reading If You Don’t Like it, You Don’t Have to Look…
