Posted on August 12, 2013 by amandadance1234

The Blues are Illogical

Posted on July 9, 2013 by amandadance1234

I am starting to think I find myself in a depressive state.  I’m not necessarily depressed, just disposed to be so.  I’m in turns irritable and apathetic; yesterday I mumbled some form of “motherfucking idiot” at three other drivers in … Continue reading →

Finding the Right Perspective

Posted on May 21, 2013 by amandadance1234

Other than blogging, I’ve lately had some trouble with that old foe writer’s block.  I finished my first novel last year, and always intended it to be the beginning of a series.  And as much as I loved my protagonist, … Continue reading →

Steroid-Induced ADHD Mini Posts

Posted on May 10, 2013 by amandadance1234
