Dear Writer’s Block

Dear Writer’s Block,

It’s not you, it’s me…alright, we both know that’s a lie. We both know that I have tons of ideas in my head and we both know that you have to leave, so that I can finally develop my full writing potential. You know that we had tons of great times together – like the time that I made and erased a patchwork quilt desktop but we also had times of trouble, like all the times that I have tried to write a school paper before the night it’s due. You are probably singularly responsible for my lack of sleeplessness when I was in school, and I need to get my sleep. So, I am sorry – not really :boogie: – but our relationship must come to an end.

The end of relationship is not always a bad thing, especially when both parties agree that it is the best thing for all those involved. We both know that you have got to leave, so that I can have a successful website and so that I can finally succeed at something. I know that I have to let you leave so that you can explore the world around us and meet new people. Might I suggest that you visit one of the visitors to my website, but only for a brief visit? After all, we want them to visit me and this site again. I am not saying that you have to leave forever, just for a little while…just long enough for me to feel like I’ve gotten something done, like I’ve made progress on my projects.

I hope to become reacquainted with you sometime in the distant future, and I thank you for teaching me that even the greatest authors of all time are visited by moments of frusteration, moments of ‘doh!’.

Love, Me

A Change Is Gonna Come

To begin with, I would like to apologize for re-starting this blog again, but I tried to change the blog address to – http://www.girldisappearing.org – and all of my WordPress files disappeared. Poof! :saywha: So, I had to reinstall WordPress and I also decided to make a couple of decisions about what direction that I am wanting GirlDisappearing to go. This blog entry is a result of those decisions, and the result of things that I am hoping to occur in the not-so-distant future. Basically what it comes down to is that I purchased two domains this month – GirlDisappearing and Awaiting Love – and I have been trying to figure out what to do with Awaiting Love. I am seriously leaning towards starting an organization and using Awaiting Love as its homepage, but I am going to need help with it. If interested, please let me know by commenting.

Moving on, I have redone the navigational links at the top of the page. Downloads and tutorials are now under the Visitor link. Everything else will remain the same. Also, I ask that you remember that the site is experiencing an “open maintenance mode”- this means that there are broken links, a lot of them and unfinished pages. I am coding/adding the pages as quickly as I am able.

Completely away from the site, I am in the process of updating all of my accounts on social networks and deleting the ones that I am no longer interested in maintaining. So, if you would like to add me to any social network, the links under Socialize in the sidebar are the ones that I am currently updating or that I have recently started.

Speaking of deleting accounts, I will also be in the process of deleting all of unneccessary e-mail accounts…that is, as soon as I figure out which one to keep. Where do you have your e-mail account, beyond your website if you own one? What do you like best about it?

Completely away from the Internet and the Online World, my plans for this summer might be changing completely…actually, I may have to make completely new plans. The thing is that I usually help out with the Summer Reading Program but the person who is in charge of it is considering not doing it this year. A part of me knows that I can still help and get credit for volunteering which would look good on applications, but there is a bigger part that says “if I become an Elementary Education major, then summer will be the only time that I am not around kids.” What would you do if you were me? Or should I not worry about it until the time comes?

A closer event is Valentine’s Day…which is in theory, my favorite holiday but I have never actually managed to be in a ’serious’ committed relationship at that time. How are you planning on spending Valentine’s Day? I am not sure what I will be doing, beyond what I normally do on a Sunday.

Finally, can someone please let me know what plugin to use to place songs in entries? Thanks in advance!

Hello world!

So, I tried to change the site url so that it contained ‘www’ but it messed up my site, and I had to reinstall. I am so sorry everyone. But the bright side of this post is that I found my pages I had coded for the domain and owner, and they are now up.
