Serial Sunday -Dealt -Does Anyone Read This?

07 Monday Jul 2014

Posted by angelacavanaugh in Rants

≈ 1 Comment

Hey all,

As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been struggling a little bit to balance work, stress, and writing.  Lately, Serial Sunday in particular has become an extra challenge.  Work on Sunday’s is just so hard.  Like, stupid exhausting mentally and physically.  And I do the same-ish thing on Saturday’s, so normally, I just sleep until work time on Sunday because I’m so tired.

I wrote the paragraph a few below first, but it just basically complains about my job.  So, I decided to put the point up here:

DOES ANYONE READ SERIAL SUNDAY?

If people like it, I will, of course, continue it.  It gets the least amount of attention as does any of my other weekly posts.  I feel like I’ve been phoning it in a little lately, and it’s become sort of a chore.  So, given my struggling, I’m thinking of discontinuing it for now.  Yes, it’s a story I want to write.  And I suppose I could have written a decent episode in the time it took me to write this up.  But if no one cares about it, I might just stop so I can put the time, effort, energy… into more productive things.

So, let me know.  Do you read Serial Sunday?  Do you want it to continue?

Thanks!!

Now, back to complaining about my job (you don’t have to read on): Continue reading →

Time to Move On, Goodbye old computer

20 Tuesday May 2014

Posted by angelacavanaugh in Random, Rants

≈ Leave a comment

I know this may sound dumb, but since my computer died, I haven’t felt very motivated.  Perhaps I form attachment to objects too deeply.  But, in a way, my computer felt like my home.  It was my own space.  A place that was all mine.  It was where all my stuff lived.  It was where a piece of myself lived.   Continue reading →

Updates for April

So, I suppose it’s the end of the month.  Maybe I should be doing updates for May?  But I don’t really know what’s in store for next month.  I suppose, in a lot of ways, I live my life day to day.  A lot of the time I think it’d be better if I could plan for the future a bit more.  But, I guess there’s something to be said for living in the moment.  Right?

Cooking show audition

***I wrote this post a few weeks ago, but waited to post it until I either was or wasn’t called. I wasn’t.

My choices are not seemingly entirely thought out these days. For example, the bus is fairly empty, yet I chose to sit in front of the coughing elderly person. And once I commit to a seat, I don’t want to offend anyone by moving, so I stay put.   Continue reading →

Ender’s Game the movie review

Saw this movie right after it came out. I’m not usually one to do movie reviews, but maybe I should be. This movie scarred my brain. There may be some spoilers. If you’ve read the book, then you mostly know what happens, although the movie takes some liberates. So I’ve warned you. Enter at your own risk.   Continue reading →

Oh, editing…

Sorry that there was no flash fiction this past Friday.  There will be one this Friday.  Recently, I left my old job and started yet another new job, which thus far I like, although I’m afraid that it won’t generate enough $ and I will have to get a second job.  Gotta do what we can to pursue the dream, right?  Beyond, I’m taking a third crack at my book Otherworlders.   Continue reading →

The continuation of the Superhero’s story

First, let me start by saying that I love Superhero’s.  I am a nerd.  I can debate with the best.  I understand the arguments about why the Flash and the Hulk are considered to be the most powerful heroes.  My guilty pleasure is Superman.  But the point of this isn’t to get into the specific heroes and which are the best or why.

I want to talk about what I’d like to see in superhero movies.  I know that Origin stories are necessary.  What would we think if we just jumped into the middle of a story and saw Iron Man being a jerk to a kid?  We may think that he’s a bad guy if we hadn’t already learned to love him.  Or if we saw so many in their flamboyant costumes, running around putting themselves in danger, whether they had superpowers or fancy toys.  We have to know their motivations.   Continue reading →
