Something to read as I work on my next novel.
Sadly, this post was inspired by real life events.
My friends (*cough* friend… just one) have had the unfortunate circumstance of being victim of my… not-so-subtle comments.
And all this happened before the clock struck 11am.

It has come to my attention that I overthink things. A lot of things.
Okay. Not really my attention, but my friend’s attention, who has now took it upon himself to ‘break me’ of my nasty little thinking habit, much as you would a dog who tinkles on the carpet. I believe he will be buying a squirt gun and a roll of newspaper next.
Do I think I’m an over thinker? Yes. Do I consider it a problem?
I’ve been thinking about that.
Christmas makes me more girly. I wear red lipstick, and sheer black stockings that take forever to wiggle into, and I deign (yes, deign, I’m a snob) to wear sparkles in various forms upon my body.
I also do nail art. And the easiest—yet somehow impressive—design I know is a string of Christmas lights. I did this in blog post form a few years ago. But if you’ve been looking for a video, here it is.
I’m afraid I have reached the point in my life where writing a post on how to be mature is necessary.
I’ve seen the signs. The creative muses have cried out to me.
No, they’ve said, don’t write one more joke until you’ve spread this message of maturity. The world needs your help, Rebekah.
So here I am.
I won’t go so far as to say I am a morning person.
*family and friends explode with laugher in the background, spit flying, heads thrown back uncontrollably*
I’m not.
If being a morning person means that I’ll smile or even carry on pleasant conversation, I’m really not.
Being a morning person, to me, means being a more productive human being and not feeling deranged and murderous every time my alarm sounds.
In the world of blogging/YouTube/social media, new, fresh ideas are required, and honestly expected. And at a faster pace than we can keep up with.
What’s a creative mind to do? Stare at the wall until it gives us answers?
Seeing that I’m struggling for ideas today, I was inspired to write this article to help others come up with creative material, off the seat of their pants, because—you know—deadlines are a thing, a very scary thing, and they motivate like no other.
Stress comes out of no where sometimes. Suddenly you’re snapping at a three year old to please stop asking so many questions, don’t they understand how much pressure you’re under, you don’t have time for their constant curiosity!
Then the thought hits you:
I think I’m stressed.
Oh. . .
Here are five simple things you can do to find a little more peace in your life.
I recently wrote “How To Stay Motivated”. It had great tips, expert advice, concise language. . .
It was basically writer’s GOLD, and I know that. I’m cursed with great writing, and it’s a burden I must live with. No one understands.
But it was too cookie-cutter of an article. We already know we should eat healthy and sleep eight hours, and we still don’t do it.
Here’s how you realistically stay motivated.
Getting motivated is hard, staying motivated is harder. Here are some things you can do (not “try,” do) to get and stay motivated!
I’m old and wise and have lived a full life of April-fools pranking.
Below are some that don’t end in a “ha-ha?”
I hope you read this before it’s too late.
