1st Blogversary!

It was a dark and stormy night… Lauriloth was creeping through the woods, hiding in the shadows, grateful for the heavy rain covering her foot tracks. But it was not enough. The monster found her anyway. Suddenly, an array of bright colors blinded her. She could barely look upon the great thing. She had no problem hearing it though. Her eardrums practically burst from its booming voice. Its words frightened her. “YOU WILL MAKE A BLOG!” Lauriloth dropped to her knees. “Noooo!!! How can I?” she cried out. “What will I write about? Why must you stalk me, O Blogger…

Oh, it’s March you say? Oh my, how did that happen? I’m a terrible blogger. I really must post more.

It’s Alive! …For now.

Wow. What a terrible blogger I am. I haven’t posted anything since Christmas? Shameful, I know. I am alive though! My ideas for posts have just run completely dry lately; but I need to post something thus I’ve decided to update on…stuff. This post is very random, you are warned. First of all, Happy New Year! To me, 2012 is an awesome number. Why? *shrugs* I have no clue. I just like it. I also like new beginnings and the start of a New Year in general. It’s enjoyable having a fresh start and new goals to reach for. As…

Celebrating the Ultimate Gift

Shopping, wrapping, baking, decorating, getting together with friends, fellowshipping with family—what a busy time this is! And today is the day to celebrate. Yet amongst all the busyness, it is easy to forget what we truly are celebrating for. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Under the trees, various sized boxes wrapped with pretty paper and fancy bows sit awaiting to be opened. Yet nothing compares to the gift our Lord and Savior has given us. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find…

Green with Env…er…Excitement!

Ecstatic!!! That is how I’ve felt today since 4 PM. Utterly ecstatic. Why? Because NaNoWriMo is officially OVER! Ending this month at 100,050 words and I am finished with NaNoWriMo 2011. Remember how I said I was going to try to write at least 2k words absolutely every single day this month? Well, I did it! I’ve never written every single day for 30 days in a row before. I am quite excited. On the NaNo site they have little word count widgets you can put on your website or forums signature or wherever you want to show off your…

Thanksgiving – The Lord’s Blessings Abound

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Whenever this time of year starts rolling around and we begin making plans for Thanksgiving, I cannot help but run through my mind all the things with which the Lord has blessed me. I am a constant complainer. I easily get dissatisfied with things. I can be so spoiled. Then I stop and realize what all God has really done for me in my life. He has blessed me in unfathomable ways. His love pours out on me everyday, beautifully and endlessly. And I remember The Cross. God loves me, you, everyone in the world, so much that…

Working Muse, Excitement, Flowing Writing…

…I don’t understand. Just suddenly, a few days ago, my writing became easy and I’m having so much fun doing it. What is happening? I’ve made a promise to myself to write 2k words every single day this month. To make myself actually do it I always write 2k before I let myself even touch the internet. This is hard…very hard. But it gets the 2k written every time. Unfortunately, I am usually just trying to get those words finished as fast as possible and get on with my life (a.k.a spending the rest of the day on the internet,…
