Writer's Block

You would think that I'd have alot to write about because of all the things going on in my life. My relationship with my baby's father is stabilizing. I'm getting ready to start school in July which is very exciting for me. Oddly enough, I'm very happy about that. Maybe I'll fall into the same slump as everybody else and be thankful that school is soon ending. But for now, I'm happy to be back. Life has been so ho-hum since I haven't been there (save for the baby of course). I've been exercising trying to get bikini ready for summer, and of course trying to write.

I'm pretty much stuck trying to write. I'm not sure if I'm forcing it, or if too many things are going on in my life as of this present time. I'm trying to figure out which chapter to put for the compilation book that Cash is putting together, but I'm coming up short as of right now. It would be kind of hilarious if Cash wanted me to publish Cry Me A River as an original story. I'd still have to change names and such. That wouldn't be a bad idea, but shockingly, Cry Me A River was only written in fun. It was never supposed to see the light of day past the internet. But if it sells, I'm not complaining.

But, I'm trying to finish it's sequel. I was going strong when I finished writing Cry Me A River, but shockingly, I've cooled off. I don't know whether it's because I write too much or if I should focus on life a bit more. I admit to being kind of slack when it comes to paying attention to my own child and I have to change that. Being that she's getting older she's becoming a handful. I'm happy with her though. Hopefully I can balance all of this out.

Well, that's enough for now. Until later.

A lot of times, children can either make you a better person, sometimes, worse... For my mom, a young teen-aged mother, it made her better, but one thing that happened while becoming a mature responsible adult is that her passion died... don't let your passion die Shay... It hurts me to see my mom afraid to keep pursuing her dreams because she's afraid of success and neglecting us... GOD has instilled something in us women that only when we look in ourselves we find... STRENGTH... Find the strength to nurture daughter and nurture your talent... GOD has blessed you with both because he knows you're able...

To me, you are a wonderful mother! Not a lot of women will admit where there weaknesses are with motherhood and the fact that you acknowledged it means you want to do better. I know I'm super late and I've told you all of this before but its true. and i agree with Mari because God is not one to give us anything that we cannot bear. He knows what we can or can't handle
