I must MUST write a story this weekend for my class and I am struggling to bite the bullet and I am struggling to care about this particular assignment. So! Think of me and hope me well because struggle and write I must. I will re-emerge from my paper and pencils at a later date to tell you how I survived all this knuckling down against my weaker will. (Say weaker will 10x fast. Your lips will do funny things.)
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."

"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why."

Good luck with writing your story! I must say that I tried saying "weaker will" fast 10x, and you are right about your lips doing funny things, LOL!
I like the Christmas touch you added to the picture of you looking at the fish :)

Some assignments are a struggle. Sometimes, it is best to leave everything to the night before and enjoy yourself. And then, scold yourself, turn the music up, fix yourself a coffee and belt out a story that will delight.
Heya, how's it going?
cute pic of u Colleen. I dig the shower curtains:)
Thanks, Moni! And I hope your lips are recovering alright. :)
Aakkie! You have a way with words. My spidey senses are telling me your advice is part auto-biography, yes? And it is going alright. I hope you are holding up with everything that's going on in your world right now.
Oh Sug, thanks man! Yes, my curtain and I. I'm glad you dig.
Colleenie! Miss you! Love you! Hope you prevailed in the struggle against writer's block! (Your lazy-bones stayed in bed all weekend, didn't she?)
Have a great week, my friend!
any questions?
