http://bekkio.livejournal.com/566089.html
The Grass is Always Greener. Whining, rambling and bragging, not necessarily in that order. Nov 10th, 2009 at 5:38 PM. So, this week I'm prepping for our vacation over Thanksgiving break. The highlight of my vacation will be me sitting my happy ass on a warm beach for hours at a time. Therefore, I need books. Not just any books. Cracktastic, girly, froofy books. My current stack of books-to-be-read is heavy on the history, and I don't want any part of that for our trip. Please, help a girl out! Dec 31st,...

Sadly, none of this is going to happen, and I know that (unless we win the lottery). So, I will continue to be the sporadic writer, grabbing little bits of time when I can. In the meantime, this writer will continue to dream a little dream of that romantic place and days spent like Thoreau. Labels: writers boot camp. View my complete profile.

Writes for Cookies . . . The on-line journal of a writer wannabe. Monday, July 18, 2011. Back at the pen. I love you, I really do. Please don't feel neglected. . . I still think highly of you! I just haven't written much. You know that novel I was working on? Well, it was interrupted. The big boys came home for summer holidays. My scribbling stopped. Taken over by frequent swing pushing, soccer ball kicking, and a multitude of bandaiding. It was a non-fiction piece called, The Crematorium and Other Views.

Writes for Cookies . . . The on-line journal of a writer wannabe. Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Pondering Poetry and Gender. I've been thinking a lot about poetry lately. . . and have been becoming a little obsessed. When I think back to my English degree at Trent University, over twenty years ago, it is my poetry class that made me feel elated. I walked across the Otonabee bridge everyday, and my feet barely touched the ground. Particular turns of phrase kept me. It was a very inspiring time. I have a love...
