Wow - it's been a minute. I feel that 2017 is the year I get back into writing. Maybe not forever, but at least this year. I need something to keep me grounded, and I love this band and the community that welcomed me back in 2008. It's my happy place. Just listening to really any of their songs gives me peace.
However, as I sit down to my laptop tonight, I am not hit with sudden inspiration. I want to write but I'm struggling. Any suggestions to move me forward or is it best to sit and wait until I'm ready?

Author's Note: This began as my NaNoWriMo story for 2011. Recently I was re-reading through some old fiction and came across this gem. I was intrigued! I'm finally starting to edit so hopefully I'll be posting fairly regularly. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Got a new computer today...
Mar. 16th, 2013 05:19 pm...so maybe I'll finally be able to get back into this whole writing thing!
I've been without a true, blue laptop for months now. In the interim I've just been using my iPhone. While really great in general, it is not a laptop. I'm so excited to have something solid in my hands again.
I got an ACER Aspire V5. It is a laptop but the screen is touch-friendly. Which works well with the Windows 8 operating system that I had to purchase. Unfortunately they don't even let you do Windows 7 anymore so I really just had to make a decision of touch screen or not with Windows 8. I think I made a good choice!
***Update***
Returned the ACER due to wireless connectivity issues and got an HP ENVY dv7. No touchscreen but better overall. :)

Fanson Losers Revival - Yahoo Groups
Sep. 15th, 2011 09:04 pmGood evening everyone!
I wanted to give a shout out to all those fansons who have joined me on a weight loss journey previously. I've managed to keep off over 25 lbs in the last year.
But I still have more to lose.
If you are interested in doing a Holiday Slim-Down challenge, I have created a Yahoo Group to keep us all accountable. I find that the setup at this site is slightly better for sending messages and keeping a weight table than LJ ever will be. That doesn't mean I won't post awards and such at the
fanson_losers site anymore, just that the majority of daily/weekly discussion and activity will occur at the Yahoo site.
If you are interested, please join
fanson_losers and you will get information on how to get to the Yahoo group and what's coming up this holiday season!
Hope to see you there!
p.s. if you aren't a fanson (gasp!) you can still join. we don't discriminate. :P

Dec. 11th, 2009 08:08 amOkay - I'm gonna post a sample that I started writing last night. Please let me know your thoughts - good or bad - no matter what I'm just interested. Let me know what, if anything, wasn't necessary and what left you wanting more! I appreciate it and I promise to check out those comments I got when I get back from work today.
