is for...Unusual Amounts of Inspiration


Me: (While in the shower) “Hey!”
Husband who was in the bedroom yells back.
Husband: “What!”
Me: “I have an idea.”
Silence
Me: “Hello, have a moneymaking idea!”
More silence.


He is ignoring me I assume. I guess I can’t blame him. In the past week I have come up with several “money making ideas”.
One day, I wanted to sell children’s learning books, the next day I wanted to write a compilation book, the day after that I wanted to write young adult books and then recently I decided to start my own organic sugar scrub company (random, I know). That is the idea that is making him ignore me. The one I came up with in the shower.
So, I am driving my husband crazy. Okay, so I always drove my husband crazy with my eccentric nature
and my complexities. But lately I have gone beyond the usual.
As everyone knows, I suffer from anxiety disorder and severe depression. I also have a slight case of ADD where I bounce from task to task and become so scatterbrained that I can’t focus. I drive my husband bonkers.
Well after years of being in denial, I sought help. Much needed help. With that help I now feel like a much better me and I have been able to focus. Now my mind is so full of ideas its insane.
The depression put a wet blanket on my mind and ideas were slow to come. Now all at once they are free and I am bursting to make my ideas a reality. I never felt so alive.

I’m excited to see with my mind will take me next.

    Whenever I'd say that our client was going to "drive me crazy," my boss Betsy used to say, "That's not a rive, it's a putt..."

The Erotic Housewife Checks IN: The Depression of a Writer

“You cannot be a good writer of serious fiction if you are not depressed.” ~Kurt Vonnegut Jr We all know the old stereotypes of the tortured artist, the alcoholic writer. They play into the belief that artistic creative types seem to be more depressed or are more susceptible to mental illness than the average person. Those old stereotypes may not have been too far off from many famous authors, poets and painters. When you think of Hemingway, Poe, Keats, Proust and Van Gogh, you don’t always think of their genius. More often than not you also think about their lives and how each one obviously suffered from some mental illness or depression. it almost makes depression seem glamorous, yet it isn’t glamorous to the person that suffers from it. I know from experience. I am not ashamed say that on occasion I suffer from depression. Okay…more often than that. It is something that has plagued me for quite a long time. As long as I can remember, I never understood it. When I

I had written and scheduled a post for today for the Writers of Kern Blog challenge, but something happened this morning and I just had to write about it.   is for... Incomprehensible “You never know how quickly a life can be taken away until you see for your own eyes…” In 7 th grade I remember playing in the gym with my friends only to look over and see a 6 th grader sitting against a window alone. He looked really familiar and then it hit me. That 6 th grader looking so out of place was my uncle, Willie Cobb Jr. Born 4 days before me, he was the son of my Grandfather Willie Cobb Sr. (half black and Native American) and Dora Santana ( Mexican) I know it sounds strange but my mother’s youngest brother was my age. It was difficult growing up to see him as my uncle… but he was. I walked over to him and sat down. I ditched my friends because he was family and he was alone. He had just transferred to my school unbeknownst to me and I wan

is for... Completely Overwhelmed I am a machine. I wake up in the morning, I fix three separate lunches (two daughters and a husband), I make breakfast, get coffee ready for my husband and I, make sure my 13-year-old gets off to school and make sure my kindergartner is dressed, brushes her teeth and gets off to school.  I then come home and fix breakfast for the 2-year-old, get her washed and dressed.  Some days we go to the park or out to play with her friends.  Then I go grocery shopping, clean the house, feed the cat, make lunch for my two year old, do a couple loads of laundry (wash fold and put away) pick up the kindergartner from school, get her afternoon snack, prep for dinner, try writing in a blog post or two, write a short story, make dinner, clean up after dinner, talk with husband until he falls asleep about his day and mine. Fight with the kids to make them stay in bed and hopefully to sleep. Then I spend next 3 hours writing.  This a
