AAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! Politics!

This year's mid term elections are almost here, thank goodness! I am so sick and tired of the "cut throat" ads and the local journalists who fall right into it. Unfortunately, here in GA the candidates are among the poorest excuses for candidates we've had in a long time. Makes me ashamed to live here. The important issues are being ignored and what seems to be more important is a candidates past. I know we've always had to have some of this, but this year is worse. Neither party is better than the other. And the tea party is just blah, blah, blah; a sounding board and publicity venue for a couple.
Someone, do something! Save us from ourselves!

Venting!

Hate to do it, but I have to vent. . .the state of the economy, job market is awful. A person my age (late 50's) has virtually no chance of being hired. I would love to be able to make some extra money in order to live somewhat comfortably and even come off of assistance. But it is impossible. Writing takes time and lots of it. Not so much for the creative process, but the selling process.  So I march on, determined not to let all of this mess bring me down. I will prevail!

Inspiration

Where does one find inspiration? In other authors is one place for sure! I had been sitting in a rut the past week or two. That all changed Friday, October 1st when I watched Oprah's (and I'm not a huge Oprah fan) interview  the author of the Harry Potter books. Now she might be something the majority of us will never become, but her tenacity is surely an inspiration to us up and coming writers! The interview put some much needed fire under me to finish not only some articles I'd been working on, but my "novel" as well!
If we look long enough we'll all find our inspiration!
