A new book and sad passings

Along with all the crazy things that hit me, I have been writing my second book, Veneficus. I am surprised to find the words flowing from my fingertip to the keyboard. It took me years to write the first book and about a year...and a half...to write this one. I am very happy with it. I struggled with the cover and feel that I now have exactly what I want.

I have talked to many of my witchy friends and they have been a great inspiration for me. It is always good to have support in any manner. Usually the support I get comes from my hosiery. Ok that was just a joke.

On another note, one of my oldest and dearest friend's mother passed away this Tuesday. I did not know her mom but a loss like that leaves a hole in one's heart and lingering reminder to all else that we are mortal.

No one wakes up in the morning thinking about death, well no one normal anyway. It is sad part of life that we all will go through one day but don't like to acknowledge until it is brought to our attention. When someone passes it reminds us of how short life really is, how it can go by so quickly when you're not looking and how important it is to leave this world with wonderful memories and how to leave them.

Here's to my friend and to her mother's journey home.

Inspiration and help

I have been writing my book and am getting to that point where I need a little inspiration. So I started watching Hauntings on the History channel and saw some unsettling points of view. I am a firm believer in ghosts and I am saddened and angered by those who do not believe. Not everyone HAS to believe what I think or what other people think about ghosts but have some respect for their opinion. Don't just call them crazy or say that they don't think they know what they saw. I was so disturbed I changed the channel and started watching Medium. So after a good solid hour I felt better and got the inspiration I needed. I started writing again. Then I realized what direction my writing went and had to laugh. Since its snowing out I knew I was going to need a lot more input to put my mind in the right frame of mind so I sought the help of my Wii. I spent an hour killing zombies in my Resident Evil game and started writing again. As a writer trying to become known this is the horr...

Captive Audience

At the end of each month I like to see if anyone in the world is actually reading what I have to say or am I just using this blog as a method to get away from all the voices in my head. I was surprised. I happen to be big in Russia and Sweden. Yes, my dear friends in the US do read my blog too but the Swedish beat you this month. So I all my wonderful readers in Russia, I just wanted to say: Спасибо за то, что читать мой blog. Для информации обо мне, сумасшедшем авторе, посещают мой вебсайт в www.jennipherdallas.com . For my Swedish friends: Tack för avläsning min blogg. För information om mig, de galna författaren, besöka min hemsida på  www.jennipherdallas.com Gee I hope I got that right : )  Keep reading I promise to stay crazy! Until next time...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
