There's Always Time to Write
This article is an exploration of the concept I touched on in the poem, I Write Everywhere. But it also came from a realization I had one day when writing one particularly lengthy comment on Facebook. Two things came from this comment. First, was “wow” how long is this comment. It ended up being 300 plus words. The second was, well if I have time to sit and write a 300 plus word comment, I have time to write 300 or more words a day towards finishing a story, or writing some poems. So, then, what was I doing with my time? Clearly nothing as productive as I could be. So what did this mean to me? It meant that it was time for me to take my own advice. And that’s what I started to do.

I Am SORRY
I am sorry. Three simple words that hold so much weight. They say that acknowledging your mistakes is the first step towards redemption, but it's not always that easy. Sometimes, saying sorry can feel like opening a Pandora's box of emotions. Guilt, shame, regret - all come flooding in, threatening to drown you.

Couch to 5k Reads. Top Story - October 2023.
My musings on the inky trail so far; my appreciation of Tossers; my thoughts and suggestions on the Stats page About a month ago, I suddenly noticed my long-ignored read counter had ticked up over 3,000 reads. Gosh, I thought. That seems like a milestone and a half! I'd not long hauled myself out of a deep, dark hole known as "writer's block". I used this little number to keep me from sinking back into the pit. I allowed myself a little self-congratulatory jig.

My Journey as a Special Education Teacher
When I got my first classroom at the age of twenty-two, I had this vision of spending my days hanging out with kids and making a difference in their lives. Little did I know, special education is a lot more challenging and exhausting than I could have ever imagined. But despite the difficulties, the fulfillment I get from inspiring my students is beyond words.

Amanda's Curious Catalogue
A place for all my writing! Okay, maybe that sub-title is a little too grandiose, but madness truly is a great descriptor for some if not all of my work. I have a penchant for allowing my passion and excitement to leak through, turning some pieces ( like my book reviews ) into blubbering messes of THOUGHTS and FEELINGS rather than critical feedback.

Invisible Success
It was probably the best I’ve ever done in any competition in my life… for anything. So, it gives me immense pride. I had entered the Launch Pad Prose Writing Competition with my short story “Darkness of the Ecuadorian Sunset.” I had entered this contest with different stories three times before. The first two times, nothing happened. The third time, I moved on to the second round which was a great feeling. And it was progress. But then nothing else. And the next round, the Top 100, that was when you would start to reap the benefits. That was when you’d get your story promoted to people in the industry.
