And When It All Clicks...

With no more than two chapters left for "May I", it's clear that this story is coming to a close and it's almost time to start a new chapter. The sequel that will be named "All This Time" will be the next installment into this adventure that has become Cal and Gillian's life (and I can't promise that it won't be just as wild as the first round.). If you haven't read the story yet--save this post for a later date because I'm going to be talking about some things that happened in May I, as well as what could happen in the sequel.

The Case of the Crazed Maniac


I love everything about this new computer. I'm loving everything about Chapter Fifty of May I. I think I'm finally feeling safe about the fact that my computer won't suddenly crash and make me lose everything that I've pretty much ever written. 

Still... the joys of starting over gives me a headache. How could it not? It's starting over..and although I still don't know if I jinxed myself by thinking about how nice it would be to start on a clean slate, it's never fun to find out that your hard drive is totally failing, and suddenly you're without a computer and left to be a total crazed maniac. 


Symptoms start appearing; twitching eyes, pacing back and forth, the want of pulling out your hair, which leads you to wishing that you had any other option other than just writing on paper. And then just when you think that you can't stand it any longer...the day arrives and you're staring at your brand new computer. 


Ah, sweet relief.

Her Heart

There are times when certain circumstances strike our hearts. If you remember I wrote a poem back in March about eighteen month old Saoirse Fitzgerald, who died from Neuroblastoma, Stage 4 Cancer (if you haven't gotten a chance to read the poem, you can find it here). It struck my heart so hard and I just remember crying. 

Yesterday night, I read of a young girl named Amanda Todd, who had taken her own life because she was a victim of non-stop bullying (whether it be at her school or on the internet)  just five weeks after posting a pleading video on YouTube.

If you haven't watched the video, I urge you to do so. Know the signs of severe depression & self-harm-- and if you or anyone you know is being bullied, seek help immediately!
