Write in Life

Balance (Sun, 13 Sep 2009)
It struck me today that everyone who practices multiple disciplines (usually motherhood, work and some kind of hobby) talks about balance. I don’t work the way they say I’m supposed to. You’re supposed to focus on one thing for a really long time and make it really successful before moving on to something else. But [...]

Designer (Thu, 10 Sep 2009)
In the past few weeks I seem to have forgotten that I am a designer. It’s hard when you design for yourself sometimes. I don’t have a constant supply of motivation as if I were working for someone else and yet I have more motivation for designing for my store than I would if I [...]

Worried about Blogging (Tue, 08 Sep 2009)
I’m really worried about taking three months off of blogging/writing while overseas. I guess I will have to write stuff down on paper instead of in the comforting glow of my lappy for that time. It will be the only time I’m overseas without a lappy though I can tell you that right now. That is all. [...]

Getting Ready (Mon, 07 Sep 2009)
I’ve only got one more weekend and 11 more week days until I leave for my 6 month training consisting of three months in Monroe, NC and three months overseas working with women, children, refugees, the homeless etc. During this time I will continue writing but probably not so much published work as I have been [...]

Writing and Traveling (Mon, 31 Aug 2009)
I’m worried. There I said it. I know that you’re not supposed to mention things like this in public but I am. I have two weeks before I leave for a small school in Charlotte, NC at which I will be for 6 months. 3 of those months will be overseas at an undisclosed location [...]

Mozilla Firefox Problem?! (Sun, 30 Aug 2009)
How’s this for a Techie Weekend? I discovered the problem with what happened to my old lappy. I knew that it got a virus which basically wiped out its memory of ever having an operating system and I sort of knew where I got the virus but it wasn’t until today that I found out [...]

Techie Weekend: TweetDeck! (Sat, 29 Aug 2009)
I have been turning my nose up for some time at Twitter clients but that was until I discovered TweetDeck. Since I have wi-fi at home now I tend to try out desktop programs which require the internet more often than I used to because the internet is always on. TweetDeck is a desktop app [...]

Techie Things I Love About Writing (Wed, 26 Aug 2009)
One of the things I love most about being a writer (besides the writing) is reading about writing (second only to watching movies about writers but that’s a totally different topic). It is through this pursuit that I discovered a neat little blog called Writers in the Virtual Sky. WITVS is run by a writer [...]

Techie Weekend Fixing After Effects (Mon, 24 Aug 2009)
I had a problem with After Effects yesterday. Not just any problem it was a huge problem. Possibly the biggest problem you can have with a video editing program. The footage I imported showed up as a black frame with sound. That can’t be edited. As per usual with Adobe’s built-in help files I couldn’t find [...]

Other People’s Art Spaces Part 1 (Sat, 22 Aug 2009)
It’s lovely when people actually want to help with a project especially when you ask them to but I definitely see why so many artists go out of their way to get their own spaces. The experience I’m having now starting my film series is definitely enough to make me realise the value of owning [...]
