NaBloPoMo Day 16: Mind, Body or Soul?

Of the three - mind, body, soul - which do you prefer? Which do you think is most important? - Daydreaming on Paper Random Prompts

I prefer soul, but I can't really pick any one as most important, if you ever talk to me, you'll find that I'm a huge fan of the holistic model of health when it comes to rehabilitation. I believe that each is interconnected and you need all of them to function properly.

NaBloPoMo Day 15: Update + Thoughts on Hair

I missed yesterday again oops. I got caught up writing. I finally hit 10k for my NaNoWriMo novel, of course I'm still behind, but hey i'm really happy that I got as far as I did. I'm about on target if I want to have the same wordcount I had last year by the end of the month, though ideally I want to try to see if I can hit 40k this year. :)

I also am totally flopping at PiBoIdMo... but I don't mind. I'll try again next year.

The Blogher prompts really don't call to me this week and I refuse to force something to come out, so I'm going to use the Daydreaming on Paper generator again.

Do you like your hair? Is it straight and sleek? Wild and unruly? - Daydreaming on Paper Random Prompts

Yeah, I like my hair a lot. It's straight, sleek, and relatively thin.. I'm finally actually taking care of it properly and I think it likes me now. I think my mother's jealous because I'm growing my hair out. I love it long and I'm being stubborn and refusing to see the hair dresser until my "bangs" are the same length as the back. Almost there. It has a couple more inches to grown.

NaBloPoMo Day 12

Does solitude aid or hinder your creative pursuits? - Daydreaming on Paper Random Prompts

Honestly I find solitude tends to hinder my creativity, though I do need an occasional recharge period of solitude to aid in keeping my creativity flowing. I think the fact that I need people to help me write is one of the reasons I do NaNoWriMo and other challenges throughout the year.

NaBloPoMo Day 11: Three Wishes

It's 11/11/11, make 3 wishes...

I'm not sharing most of my deeper wishes, but I'll share these ones:

1. I wish that the other member of the drama I dealt with earlier this month has cooled off
2. I wish that the rest of this month is brighter than the first half of it
3. I wish the upcoming holiday season is enjoyable

NaBloPoMo Day 10: Passions

What is your secret (or not-so-secret) passion? - Jean Kwok

Writing stories about processes of recovery, whether they be fanfiction or original fiction is one of my biggest not-so-secret passions as far as writing is concerned.

The other not-so-secret passion of mine is self-knowlege: I'm studying runes, I've studied tarot, I research a lot of astrology/zodiac stuff from a variety of locations. I've studied totems and spirit animals. I've studied other personality pseudo-sciences. I like learning about the subconscious, basically.

NaBloPoMo Day 9: Not Like The Rest

When was the first time that you realized that your home was not like other people’s homes? - Catherine Gildiner

IDK. I don't really think the house I live in is much unlike others... It's just a unique housing situation atm... Some of these questions I feel are a little more adult than I am...

I also guess that I do realize my family tends to be a lot different than the families I have visited and known, since most families I've interacted with are not as large as mine.

I also guess for me I have a different definition of "home" as well, since for me home is more people I care about than where I live. And while that is common, my interpretation of it is somewhat broader (and this gets me in awkward situations with my fiance at times).
