Art and writing

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 3 Jun

These last several months, I've been hard at work trying to improve my drawings, and to finish writing my books, particularly one I've been working on for twelve years. I admit it should be done, but you know things happen in life...

Little by Little

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 4 Jan 23

I managed to accomplish some things over the week, and with my constant headaches and depression, this is pretty amazing to me. For starters, I fixed The Warriors: Crimson Chaos. Sometime ago, I discovered several scenes that were...

Making decisions is hard and I'm in a loop right now

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 31 Dec 22

And this loop seems never ending. I want to find a work at home job, but so far most of the jobs I've found are out of my league. Let's add to the fact that I need to redo my resume, which I haven't touched in years, and I'm just...

Lost

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 13 Aug 22

Chase was adopted by my mom a few months back ago and he became her baby. He looks so lost without her now that I don't know what to do about it. I've been through this before with my Dad's dogs back in 2010, but how do you help a...

The Witcher: The Last Wish

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 25 Apr 22

Last year almost everyone was talking about the Witcher on Netflix. I don't have Netflix anymore, as the cost has gone up beyond my comfort zone. To satisfy my curiosity I bought the book: The Last Witch. I haven't gotten too far...

The Robin

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 25 Apr 22

Gotta confess I'm not particularly well today, but it's fine. I'll be fine. This poem came to me, and oddly it cheered me up just a little. Maybe it was because I needed to write something. Who knows? Do you write poetry? Can I...

Writing or maybe not

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 1 Mar 22

You know what I hate? When you're at home your brain is on silent mode and refuses to throw any new ideas for writing at you. But the moment you're out of the house at work, it suddenly comes on like: HEY, LET'S TRY THIS FANTASTIC...

Some days are better spent in bed

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 23 Feb 22

Yesterday was the pits. Started out great and for once I thought I’d get home early from delivering newspapers. I ended up with a flat tire, called roadside assistance. At first they said they couldn’t find anyone for me on their...

Drawing moods

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 17 Feb 22

Sometimes I get in a drawing mood and they last for days. This particularly happens when I’m obsessed with finishing a picture, even if it takes me days to do so. It’s like I can’t think of doing anything else besides it. I...

Procreate

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 16 Feb 22

When I first saw people posting their art using Procreate, I became enamored by it and I see why. I’ve used paint programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Gimp, Paint, CorelDraw, and others, and none of them have quite stirred my soul to...

Haven’t been here in forever

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 16 Feb 22

It’s been years (I think?) since I’ve been on mylot. I forgot how much I missed the discussions here and seeing what people were up to while engaging in meaningful conversations that really stirred up the heart and mind. Hoping to...

I can't stop watching this

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 4 Dec 17

I made this video using images from Unsplash and Google (Credits are at the end of the video) and I cannot stop watching it or stop thinking about it. Never before have I found people so closely resembling my characters. I can't...

Hey guess what?

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 13 Jun 17

It's been ages coming, but I have finally completed The Warriors: Crimson Chaos. When did it all begin? Oh, lord... Let's go back over a couple of decades. I was seventeen when I first created the Warriors. I'm 37 now. You figure...

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 3 Feb 17

My cat Sierra enjoys television. Whenever I say Sierra, "do you want to watch TV?", and if she does, she will jump onto the TV stand and sit in front of the television. Her favorite shows are generally Rat Tail Bandit, String...

Ever lived with someone who was genuinely lazy?

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 6 Oct 16

It's not easy, is it? They sit down for hours all day and drink nothing but beer and smoke a lot of cigarettes. They only get up to go to the bathroom or to grab another beer. Or worse, they ask you to get it for them because they...

I wanted to share a portion of the first chapter of the urban fantasy novel I am working on. I have been working on this novel for a while now, particularly the last month. Writing gives me a sense of freedom and a purpose. I like...

Today's been a decent day

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 2 Oct 16

Unlike yesterday, which was completely depressing, today was pretty good. To me a good day is one where there are no arguments and no stress. I played with my dog SJ, who was well eager for a good old fashioned tug-of-war. I...

Anxiety

Author-Lissa @Firestorm0122 (735) • United States 30 Sep 16

How many of you have anxiety? I don't understand anxiety on a self-personal level, but I know my mother and some of my friends have it. It can be frustrating, and sometimes you feel helpless because you can't help them. It can...
