The First Morning

Waking up this morning, I feel grateful, yet dizzy. Today is a day of firsts. This is my first day of working from home as a writer. A few days ago, I prepared for this day by creating a morning routine and an evening routine. I had researched how different authors stayed on track. I discovered that everyone has their own opinion on whether or not one should have a schedule or just write when they felt like it. I love making schedules and lists about literally everything, so I decided it would be best if I made myself a daily routine. I also know that at times I get distracted or lose motivation to do anything productive, so I figure having a schedule of sorts would be beneficial. I am not actually using a very strict schedule, with times of when I should do things, because I want to enjoy the freedom of working from home. I am basically just using a to-do list of sorts. I will try this out for a while and see how it works. I would be very interested to hear how you schedule out your day if you work from home. Please leave a comment!

Another first of today is that I am quitting vaping. With my husband being the only one working right now, we have to cut some costs. This has made me quite dizzy. I haven't been completely psycho with irritability yet, like I was when I quit smoking cigarettes. I hated doing that. This has proven to be slightly easier so far. I do miss it but it's nothing that a few deep breaths can't fix. Now I just have to remember some of the things I would do to help with smoking cessation that I used before. I have already used the one where I brush my teeth right after I eat. I am also performing one right now by keeping my hands busy. Do you have any suggestions for me? Just let me know in the comments.
I am grateful for the opportunity to change my life. I have been daydreaming about working from home for months. I realized during my morning meditation that everything I have been wishing for has come true for me. I put my desires out there and the universe answered! Now all I have to do is to not let this time go to waste. I must take this opportunity and run with it. I can't let this pass me by. If I succeed in achieving my goals, just imagine what I could do next!

I'm That Creep

If I could sit in a crowded place, the mall for example, and watch people all day without them knowing it, I totally would. For someone that doesn’t like to interact with strangers or people in general, if I can help it, I do find them extremely interesting. They especially are when they don’t know that they are being watched. Everyone acts differently when they feel like they are not being observed.   Even when they know I am standing there watching they are still interesting to me. I like to study people and see their little quirks. For example, there is a young lady that I work with that I like to watch. To be honest, she didn’t make a very good first impression with me. She seemed a little chaotic and high strung for my taste. Now that I am getting to know her a little better, I like her. She seems to be a kind-hearted person who craves girl time. In fact, I overheard her speaking of this the other day. She was talking about how she has to have a girlfriend to talk to.

Dreaming of Escape

I would like to become a successful writer. I don't necessarily mean success as in fame and fortune. Although, seeing my novel on the big screen would be out of this world! But no, I don't really want to have to do deal with some agency telling me where to go, who to meet, nor what to write. That comes from within. My writing will be from the heart only. I don't want someone breathing down my neck, trying to tell me when I need to get something done. That's the whole point of working from home and being my own boss. I am tough enough on myself as it is. I want my life to be pressure-free. My goals are to have a thriving blog where I will share my personal reflections on random topics. I plan to be completely honest and not just type things that I think other people will want to hear. I want to be real. My second goal is to write novels. I am currently working on one that has great potential. I hope to make a living doing something that I love in the comfort of my home

Prompted

She looked to the right and saw that the fire was dwindling. The drizzle had made it difficult to find much dry wood but she had no choice but to search for more. She would freeze without the warmth of the fire. She removed herself from the safety of the light and stumbled out deeper into the woods. Picking up twigs and feeling for any dampness, she slowly gathered up a small collection of hopeful kindling. As she turned toward her makeshift campsite, she heard what she thought was footsteps coming from behind her. She spun around quickly, dropping a few of the precious sticks. The sound ceased immediately. She told herself it was all in her head and took a few deep breaths to calm her racing heart. With trembling fingers, she picked up her bundle and quickly set back to the task of reviving her small fire. As she worked, she recalled the words of her father to her retreating back. "You'll be back, begging for mercy, just like your mother did," he predicted. "But the
