For all the writers out there do you get writers block sometimes or alot. If so what do you do about it? How do you get your writing groove back. I have school work to do and my mind is blank and I have a deadline of December...

Most people, writers in particular, use a journal to let emotions and thoughts escape. I am backwards I think. WHen I am totally overwhelmed by life's circumstances i shut down and don't write in my journal at all. Does anyone...

averagejill Hahah, oh, I see. Stress is a major factor in all this. If you're busy, you don't have time to dabble your thoughts in a notebook! And don't feel too badly, you and I are both looking for a job (hope you're doing better than I am). If you like being your own...

Sometimes it is hard when you did not intend something to happen when you made a discussion, and you hurt a fellow mylotter but my conscience will not let me rest until I apologize for somehow inadvertantly getting a users name...

averagejill Ah, yes, virtual communication doesn't quite satisfy the human need for face-to-face interaction. But I'm so glad the public apology has freed up your conscious in that area ^__^

I found this great story about a very clever cat. Rusik, the cat, walked into a police checkpoint a year ago as a stray kitten. The staff quickly adopted it, feeding it on scraps of sturgeon confiscated from smugglers. He learned...

averagejill Hhaha, yeah. Maybe all the workers kept a little cat-snack in their pocket for it. But I saw it on a touristic movie and know it was true . . . just can't remember the details or the name of the dam that they constructed.

averagejill Poetry and Prose are quite different. The dictionary's thought on these two matters are as follows: Poetry: n. rhythmical composition embodying beautiful or elevated thoughts. Prose: n. ordinary language, not versed. In more practical understanding,...

averagejill Wow! That's a cool story! I think I'll dub my next cat Rusik. Haha. I also heard a story where they used a cat to help out instead of a dog. I think they named it Lassie but I don't remember all the details. When they were building one of the prominant dams in...

Okay, I am having difficulty figuring out how to load a picture for my profile picture. I just can't find the edit section for that, so to all of you who have figured it out all ready, please enlighten me! I know I could probably...

I have a question to pose to you readers out there. Lately, (for the past four months or so) have been unable to remain interested in a story, even ones in a series that I enjoy. Is this a sign of laziness because I don't want to...

averagejill Say, that's a good idea, thanks! I do get very annoyed when I'm interrupted in the middle of a good book, so alone-reading-time would work for me. But it's not like my siblings' stories are boring; my sister has the funniest comedy I've ever read (which we...

averagejill Everybody's unique in the way that they express or deal with emotions and stress. I guess I'll have to say that I do a little bit of both. If I'm really gloomy and depressed, I'm like you, I can't do anything at all. I want to just sit and crochet (or knit)...

averagejill Hahah, unfortunately, I am one of those who do not spend time walking or exercising at all. I'm lazy. But I figure as long as I eat right and keep my weight down, I'll be good for awhile, but I understand exercise is important! So I sign up for city-league or...

averagejill Writers block: an epic dilemma. I was actually in a serious writers block-out because I must have gone three to four months without writing or reading anything of interest (which is very strange for me!). But here are some things that I've notice which seem to...

averagejill Yes, very much so. I find I am a stubborn person and I can let things go on for a long time without apologizing. That is why I strive to not step on peoples' toes (in a manner of speaking); unfortunately, that doesn't always work either. It's rather humorous...
