Sometimes ya have to…

Sometimes you have to forget the bullshit and just go with the flow. Stop listening to what people tell you because it could make you feel even worse. 

Lately people have been saying things to me and they think that it makes me feel good when really it makes me feel like shit. When those people say these things to me I feel like they’re pushing me away which in reality I could care less, they’re not really important people in my life. Just people giving me their opinions which I consider but in the end you should listen to what your intuition tells you. 

So something else happened this morning, I thought I lost my flash drive with all my writing on it. I know what you’re thinking, how come I don’t save it to like a million other places incase this happens? I believe I will now because I was freaking out. I was writing this weekend and I left my flash drive on the desk, this morning I went to grab it and it was gone. I’m like you gotta be kidding me. I started throwing things around and then I picked up my couches, yes I picked them up, my adrenaline was pumping so hard I didn’t care or realize what I was actually doing until I spotted the flash drive under the one couch. I crawled on the ground and I grabbed that shit hahaha. I’m like oh my precious, I’ll never let you out of my sight again 🙂 

So that’s my little story today and I know the two things I wrote about are completely different from one another but I wanted to write what I felt like today. Because hey that’s what I do. 

Have a good day y’all!

Hey

I just wanted to say hello tonight. Nothing much is going on right now. Had a snow day today from work so that made me happy. 

Went to the flower show yesterday which was Holland themed. It was beautiful and it smelled amazing. So many tulips in a room, I’ve never seen so many. There were wooden shoes, windmills, tiny little cottages, a train set, and many more themes that I can’t exactly think of. I was happy to experience the show this year, although it was super crowded it was still fun. 

Anyways I hope everyone had a wonderful evening and it’s almost the middle of the week aka hump day! Much love!

A Good Day…

Today was a good day. Was able to spend some time with my hubby after going to a psychic and she told me some things that kind of hurt but today I tried to make the best of it. I will not be mentioning what she told me so please don’t ask. Anyways today we hung out and it was amazing, we went to a casino and won a huge amount of money and he splurged on me. He said I deserved it, that put a smile on my face and it made my heart melt. 

I feel grateful that we got to spend some time together because we don’t really. He’s always working and our schedules conflict. He made me feel special today and that’s all that matters. So to the husband that made me feel like a queen today, I appreciate you very much and love you so much. 

Tomorrow I’m spending one on one time my with my best friend who is also my mama and we’re going to the flower show. We’ve been going for the last few years and I’m excited, I’ll share in my experience tomorrow. Anyways hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! 

Much love.

Grateful

I’m so grateful today that I was able to type sentences to make this fabulous book that I’m working on. I never seemed to be the creative type until I started writing and it just makes me feel really good. I do enjoy it a lot. When I think about writing and the story that I want to write about, my mind just goes into this frenzy of words and thoughts. It’s amazing what the mind can do and accomplish. Everyone has their gifts/talents and for me I really think that’s writing. 

Happy Monday y’all!

Another Day

I dont really know what to write about today. I’m just kind of bored and I’m actually at my parents house and hearing them bicker. I try not to laugh but I can’t help it, I guess that’s what happens when you’re married for so many years. I’ve only been married 2 and a half years and we fight like that already, hahaha I guess it is what it is. 

I did a lot of cleaning today at my house, my many animals are destroying my house but I still love them so much, especially my bulldog, he’s the cutest thing and he has the greatest personality. 

I didn’t get to do any writing these past few days because I’ve just been in a funk and also when I do sit down to write something comes up and I’m not able to. I am however definitely enjoying how this book is going. 

I made a new playlist for my jogging workout which I really like, when I hear it I get really excited and can’t wait to workout. I feel like it gives me some energy and it makes me happy. Have you ever had that happen when you hear a song you just light up and you feel the energy inside your body? Totally love that feeling.

 Okay I’m done for the evening, hope everyone has a great night! Cheers to it almost being the weekend!

Just Happy..

In thinking about what I could write today or these past few days I found it hard to come up with something. I like to try and be positive but some days it’s hard. My book on Amazon isn’t selling as much as I hoped it would’ve but I have to expect that, I’m an unknown author who is just starting out. I should just be happy because I actually accomplished writing a novel. For my next book I’m going to try and see if I can actually get an agent for. I’m excited for it, it’s a lot different then my first novel where it was a thriller, this one is just a fiction book geared for basically anyone.

I’m blessed to have this gift of creativity that I didn’t really know I had. I feel even blessed for people reading my words, it makes me feel so good. They actually took the time out of their lives to read a story that I wrote.

I enjoy what I’m doing but some days I find myself becoming discouraged. I must not let those feelings take over me. If I fall down I need to get right back up, if I get turned down from an agent I will not let that stop me. I will do what I can to keep throwing my novels out there. If I can’t get signed I will be happy that I can at least be on Amazon and sell my novels. A lot of people have dreams and no one should shy away from them, just push yourself harder and you never know what you can accomplish. I couldn’t believe when I wrote my first novel, I printed it out and I thought, “Wow did I write all that?” I was so excited. Tons of pages and tons of words on those pages.

Follow your dreams! You are what you make yourself.

Today..

Today is the day I jam out to some music and get some writing done. I’m feeling really happy today and I just want to get up and dance around. I love days like those, feel like life is going the way it’s supposed to.

Hope everyone else is having a wonderful day! I know today is President’s Day so a lot of people have off today, but I’m in the minority where I’m working today but it doesn’t stop me from acting like a fool by dancing and singing hahaha.

Enjoy your day people!

Feeling Excited

I just wanted to write today about the new novel I’m working on. I’m super excited about this one and I am not giving it away. I feel more inspired this time around with writing. I feel like the words are just pouring out of me. I don’t know if anyone has ever experienced this before but I’m really loving it.

Today I wrote a ton of pages and I felt like I couldn’t stop, but I finally took a break. Lately writing for me has been hard, I was having little inspiration. Yesterday’s blog post I wrote of 9/11 and ever since then I guess I feel like I woke up. I needed something to kick me in the ass to get me motivated. I’m here and breathing and healthy and I need to live, if that means writing then so be it. I come to realize that writing is my thing, I love it. If I can express myself then I will do so. I never imagined that this is where I would be in my life, but things happen for a reason and that’s the path that you walk down. I will continue to do what I love to do.

I feel like I got a lot accomplished on this book and I feel really good about it, which is all that matters. If I wrote this book and I was dissatisfied then I would have to scrap it but I feel something inside me that is amazing. It’s like a flower blooming inside my chest, a world that opened up for me. That’s why I’m excited! Thanks to all you wonderful people for reading my blog and I hope you get the chance to read my first novel called Not Alone on Amazon. Just type in the search box my name Melissa Rose Bushey, I found that was a lot easier then putting in the title because there are apparently a lot of books called Not Alone. A Novel. 🙂

Much love everyone!
