So I feel completely disconnected from my writing – one year ago, I used to spent approximately two hours a day writing, blogging, thinking about my plots and brainstorming. Today, not so much. I manage to write on my commute to work – and for that I’m thankful for my phone. Anytime I’m on my…
It’s all about perception. My reality feels distorted, and I seek to escape. There’s a better place waiting for me, where my dreams can grow bigger. I’m looking forward to getting there. It’s only a matter of time. The loneliness shall pass. The doubt will disappear. True happiness will finally settle and I will taste…
Alright, for those who have been following the several episodes of my falling out with a very good friend, this post will be the last I’m going to write on the subject. First, I want to say to the commenters out there who claimed I was unable to feel apathy and nurture relationships, well, your…
Well… Listening to my heart wasn’t such a bad idea after all. My friend made the first step to talk about our falling out. That friendship meant too much to fail so quickly. But we all needed time to recover. So we will talk, and see how far we can go. Everything happens for a…
The ugly truth finally comes through. Our MC Julie faces Kara’s ghost and experiences her friend’s dreadful death. In this chapter, there’s a sense of hopelessness that is constantly on Julie’s mind. She feels like she’s doomed to fail, and the only way for her to keep going is to forget and move on. She…
I’m writing this post in response to Krystal Wade’s Public Service Announcement – please visit the link to her post here: http://krystal-wade.com/opinions-are-like-a/ Perception is reality. We all perceive things differently, therefore we all experience reality differently. No matter what people say about you, your perception will eventually evolve when a life changing event forces you…
For all previous chapters, please visit http://curiosityquills.com/published-authors/johanna-pitcairn/death-by-chocolate/ Right. I had heard that before! Just minutes ago, or hours, whichever, I thought I could leave! But guess what! Someone or something didn’t want me to! Throwing him a questioning glance, I didn’t reply a word. “I know what you might think… But there is a way…
So Julie’s concerns were right! Her drink was spiked and forced her into a deep sleep, her dreams turning into a freaky nightmare. Two things need to be pointed out: 1) We still don’t know the role of the Stranger in Julie’s introspection. Last post, I said the Stranger was an intruder, but what kind…
I haven’t been blogging much. Two reasons for that: my fantasy series Death by Chocolate is taking much of my writing time, and I don’t have many bad or difficult things to blog about. Honestly, I started this blogging adventure as therapy and it helped tremendously. I cannot advise people enough to write down everything…
To read the previous installments, please visit http://curiosityquills.com/published-authors/johanna-pitcairn/death-by-chocolate/ Weeping like a child doesn’t equal badass in my book. But I guess I needed to open the dam, and let all the emotions out. Catching my breath was a challenge for a few long minutes. How many tears could I shed? The Stranger kept staring at…
