A new computer addiction…. | The Official Heather Quarnstrom Blog

The Official Heather Quarnstrom Blog Writer, WAHM, and Mother, but NEVER in that order.

Lately I've been having some serious issues with writer's block. It seems like all the time I have so many ideas just floating around my brain until I sit down to actually write. The second I pick up a pen/pencil, or sit down at the computer my brain just empties. It's beginning to make me insane. I have all these things plotted out and notes written down, but when it comes time to turn them in to something -- *poof*. Sometimes I get lucky and can get a few words down, but then if I look them over I am horrified. I start wondering who on earth would read this? It's worse than the worse thi...

Catching up... Or "Yes, I'm still alive and kicking."

Hi everyone! I'd like to apologize for the long hiatus. Many things have been going on in my personal life. I won't go in to too much detail, but I've had a lot of health issues and a couple of surgeries in the interim time. I've also lost three close family members in the space of the last couple of years that have thrown me and I have still not really absorbed their loss. Another reason that I have been absent so long is that I've also had a lot of self-doubt as a writer. I have actually gotten some writing done, as well as a bit of my first novel started. After the first bit I was hi...

What is this blog about, anyway?

Just recently I began submitting my blog to various blog related listing sites, and found I had a small problem. All of them ask me to classify what this blog is about. Uh-oh. For some reason they all seemed to lack the proper category. The neglected to add the "whatever strikes my fancy" category. That led me to sit down and really think about what this blog is about. I've been told it's a "mommy blog" since I have posted parenting relating things, or it's a "contest blog" because I post giveaways. Ok, I can get with that, sort-of. Those are parts of me, but I have a problem with cla...

5 Minutes for Special Needs

Many of you don't know that I have both a sister and a niece with special needs. My sister suffered brain damage as a result of her belirubin climbing to record heights as an infant. Her functioning level was put at that of a six year old, even though she is 30 years old. She is the sweetest person, but has had a very rough life due to this and other unrelated problems. My niece has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and I have been learning all I can about this very common Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a result, I am a proud supporter of sites and causes that promote information and f...

A new computer addiction….

Posted by Admin on uncategorized

Well, I have officially started a new addiction. Yes, you heard me correctly. I joined Second Life. Like I didn’t have enough to do before between work, my family, writing, World of Warcraft, and whatever else life threw my way. Now I have this amazing virtual world where I can be and do whatever I want.

If anyone wants to join me feel free to come on over and let them know that Merydithe Tepper referred you. (I get virtual money if you upgrade your account.)

I also have started another blog on the subject as a way to keep up with my in world shenanigans. You can check it out here.

As always, please let me know what you think. If you have heard rumors about it post them here. I’ll tell you the truth as I find it.

Take care and have a great day!
