Hey fellow writers and ODers. I have been really busy, and brewing things. There has always been a part of me that felt as though I was gipped in the education department because I was disabled and had to be put in Special Education instead of being allowed to take mainstream classes with a few&h...

I'm one of the many people that want to be a writer.  I have  school memories of making  books. I'd carefully fold pages, including the construction paper cover  I liked, and staple up the binding.

I pulled out of Storybrooke for the final time last night. Haven't let it sink in yet, and honestly, I'm not really even sad about this decision in the least. It feels like bricks have been taken off my shoulders.  The community  there as a whole just felt really toxic, and if I'm being completel...

It started on  Wednesday when I went to the doctor to get my blood test from last month read. It was all bad news, and...

Yay! Open Diary!!! I have missed you, my long, lost love. I itched to rejoin. I yearned for you. Sadly, I forgot my own name and login credentials.   No worries. I am a different human being with different interests and in a different stage of life. So, I'll just create a new name which…

lately I've been thinking of all of the new things I'm learning right now. I'm also thinking about how they are so new and foreign to me, I wonder if I can ever master them. I want to be part of the band in the spring so so much. The only problem is that there…

When I began writing here back in 1998-1999 my writing was terrible. While those entries are long gone, since I deleted them, I still remember how terrible they were. As time moved on I did start writing better and as I grew older. I began writing here at the age of nineteen, so that’s to…
