Good Conscience Vs Bad Conscience

When it comes to choosing something that could either be good or bad, you conscience is usually there to back up your choices. What you are comfortable with depends on what you can live with.

 

Today, I had one of those moments.

 

A couple of weeks ago, I gave up my beloved cookies. I’ve become quite adept to making them. So delicious these cookies are that I eat 30 cookies in at least three days. Well, in a moment of weakness and stress, I ventured out into the cold, with baby, just to buy butter, eggs, and baking soda. I thought, “It’s not cheating if I just buy the ingredients. I’ll just bring the stuff home and that will be it.”

 

Once I returned home, the ingredients sat in my fridge and pantry. I must have turned the idea of cookies over and over in my mind at least a million times. Here I am writing my book when all of a sudden cookies pop into my head. I don’t know what it is about anything zombies, but I always get hungry. It was a mistake writing a zombie thriller this month. Finally, after writing out a scene with more zombies in it, I gave in. 

 

“The ingredients are here, I might as well bake some cookies. I’ll just use them as incentive to write more later,” I thought.

 

Three batches of chewy chocolate chip cookies later, the apartment smells fantastic and one cookie has already made its way into my mouth. (I have no idea how it got there)

 

Looks like my “bad” conscience got the best of me this time.

The Blank Page

It's a frustrating feeling whenever you get a new journal, and no matter the worth, you never wish to write in it. This very feeling seems to scream against the intricate muscles in your hand, if the journal happens to be expensive.  Still, quite a few months ago,  I always seem to lose track of the time,  I decided to make my own journals.  It was a happy idea and after a few homemade journals, I set them aside in order to be forgotten.

Recently,  I was reunited with these journals that I so happened upon in a dusty shoe box filled with random knick knacks. My thoughts were immediately jumping with ideas and I reached out for the soft covered journal closest to me. However,  the moment I sat down to write something it was as if my imagination bottlenecked at the very sight of a blank page. It's funny how I can sit at my computer and type this blog, but to write in a journal and exhume old dusty ideas is always a taxing task!

Ah well! Eventually I'll overcome the fear of making a mistake and just start writing.  I've come to the conclusion that it must be a fear, and at least with fears we can put them to past! Anyway,  happy holidays and enjoy a hot chocolate topped with little marshmallows, that's my favorite holiday beverage!  Ha!

Words Unspoken Part 1

So, my eyes are strained from staring at a computer screen all week, and my fingers are freezing due to the ever dropping temperatures in this area. 

However, I did manage to finish the first part of Words Unspoken! WEEEeeee....I'm going to hibernate for the rest of the weekend, lol

https://leanpub.com/wordsunspoken <---There's the link, check it out, tell me what you think...keep in mind that this is mostly a first draft. I say mostly because it was edited a bit...just a bit...

Enjoy, share, and comment...it's starting to sound like a YouTube video! Ha ha!

Reimi Keyes-Words Unspoken

My life has been leading up to this very moment, where everything I am becomes tested in the way I write and inspire. I have an unusual story to tell but would you hear it?

From the moment I was born, I have been a lone spirit tried and tested by the evil's of the world. My life is in the hands of the fates but I won't go down without a fight. I am who I am because of a specific set of circumstances and even though I have had my weak moments, I have always pulled through. I will always pull through.

I am alone, but I am not weak. Sometimes I wonder if this is how I was meant to find out about my destiny. About the dark future that awaits me, the harsh choice I would have to make. My brother is going to die or am I going to die? If that's my choice, then let death take me...if only it were that simple, if only my destiny wasn't shaped around the ideal of death and the Reaper that haunts me.

NaNoWriMo 2014 - "Words Unspoken"

It's that time of year when a few people decide to take up the challenge of writing a 50K novel in 30 days!

It doesn't have to be perfect, hell, it can be your very raw first draft. The point of National Novel Writing Month is to write! It's entirely free, and anyone can do it, even if you are from another part of the world. This year, I am participating, and much like in July, I have a mind brimming with ideas.

I haven't really worked on an outline....it might be my downfall but we shall see, who knows what will happen in the course of a month. If you are interested in taking up the challenge, then refer to this site and start writing! I'll see you at the finish line!!!! :D  [ NaNoWriMo:  http://nanowrimo.org/ ]

Curious about my idea? Well, here it is: 

A few years back I was creating a Sims 3 machinima series that I came to call, Words Unspoken. It's a dark tale about a young girl who becomes haunted by a grim reaper with whom asks her a life altering question. She has until her 29th birthday to come up with an answer or fate answers for her and the people she is closest to will die. Basically, the story is about love, life, friendship, and responsibility. It follows the young girl and the decisions she makes throughout her life since meeting the reaper.

Well, that's it, that's all...at least for now... If you want to read the story as I go, you can check it out at [ Leanpub: https://leanpub.com/wordsunspoken ].
