Today was really decaffinated I got out of bed when I needed to pee.

I feel like I'm not quite, really on the planet.

I'm so sad. My kitten got run over this afternoon. I found him when I was coming home from school. His head was all squished. I took some photos. I'll miss him. Poor kitty.

Last night I had to masturbate twenty times. I'm so horny. Click here to see my website.

I want to tell the world bite me, slowly, sensually, just make it good.

I am updating this journal for the first time in ages, because I've been in prison.

Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! Here's some photos of my cock.

I want to say thanks to my left boob for keeping my right boob company.

I went to the doctor yesterday, and he said the blackmaill cheque would be late this week. And bipolar disorder.

You should all do this quiz! It's amazingly accurate. You just put in your name and birthday, and it will tell you what your favourite sexual position is.

I'm reading a book called "The Pleasure Slave". Why isn't this job listed on Monster.com?

That's enough for now. But I'll leave you with cold coffee. I'm going to make a fresh pot.

Not all of it was fictional. evil grin

Here is an idea for the next time you are stuck with an idea and can't fight your way out of a wet paper bag with it. Try the reframing matrix plan.

The Reframing Matrix is a formal technique used to look at problems from different perspectives. It helps to expand the number of options open to you for solving a problem.

You draw up a reframing matrix by posing a question in a box in the middle of a piece of paper. You then draw a grid around it. Each cell will contain approaches to the problem, seen from one perspective.

One way of using the technique is the '4 Ps' approach. This looks at the problem from the following viewpoints: Product, Planning, Potential and People. Another set of perspectives is to ask your self how different professionals would approach the problem. Useful professions to consider would be medical doctors, engineers, systems analysts, sales managers, etc.

I found this on a site called Mind Tools. http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newCT_05.htm

Consider applying the reframing matrix to your writing blocks or hold ups. What would your four perspectives or viewpoints be? Overall you could say: Story, Publisher, Reader, Characters. But it could be applied to sections of your fiction too. Look at the situation from the viewpoint of four different characters. If you are working on a non-fiction article look at it from the viewpoint of four possible readers- other writers, professionals, your siblings, a checkout cashier, etc.

It does help to give you fresh ideas and slants/ angles on the ideas you already have.

Here's a writing exercise for you:

Write a short description of a scene or action with one character in the scene. Don't describe the character, or avoid as much description of the person as you can.

Now give someone else the scene to read. What do they think the character looks like, sounds like, etc? Is it anything the same as you pictured the character as you wrote the scene? Give the scene to other people to read, get a few opinions about what the character looks like.

It's interesting how people can read the same thing and see it in different ways.

When you write fiction, especially romance, mysteries or some other genre where people tend to identify themselves with the heroine/ hero of the story it's a good idea to avoid a lot of description of that person. Think of how jarring it is to be reading a book and remember the heroine is a redhead after all, not a brunette like yourself. People do put themselves in the story, usually as the star. Let them get into your story. As a writer we bring them new adventures they might never do themselves.

• "If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it." Anais Nin

Someone has to tell the story before anyone can listen to it. An unspoken story can never be heard.

How many stories pass through your life everyday without you taking note of them, without writing them down or telling them to someone else? What did you do today? That is a story in itself. You take it for granted that your own story wouldn't be interesting. But if everyone thought that there would be very few stories told.

What did you do today? Write it, tell it or show it. Make it a story. Adlib, exaggerate, outright lie if you want to, but tell your story. Some part of your day will be interesting to someone. If you don't write it, talk about it or draw it, who will?

Today I was thinking about all the stories I could tell if I just stopped and wrote them all down. When someone says they have writer's block I think they just stopped looking. The stories are everywhere, every day. If it seems boring, make it interesting. You are the writer. Write!

It's been awhile since you wrote a letter to Santa. I bet he'd like to hear from you. Go ahead, give in to temptation, write Santa a letter and send him your Christmas wish list. Then leave it lying around for your loved ones to... mail. Exercise your letter writing skills and get something you really want under the tree.

Do you remember how to start? "Dear Santa" works well. Here is my own letter to Santa this year. Likely he'll have to check his back lists to figure out who I am. It's been quite a long time between letters.

Dear Santa,

How are things up there in the North Pole? I hope you're keeping warm, you and Mrs. Claus. Let the reindeer sleep in the barn a few nights. Let the elves work late, or later and give Mrs. Claus some cuddling and well, surely you haven't forgotten how that works.

Anyway, just thought I'd send a note. It's been quite awhile since I wrote. I found some delicious sounding coffee recipes. Wish I had someone to share them with here. But, maybe next Christmas. Hint.

So, yes, Santa, as you may have guessed. I'd like a good man under my tree this year. I realize I haven't quit gotten around to putting up the tree. I think working retail slowly sucks the Christmas enthusiasm out of you. I'm around Christmas trees, decorations, and such all day. I can't help that it's kind of nice to come home and only hear the odd Christmas carol on the radio. You must know what it's like, up there, surrounded by Christmas every day.

Still, if you bring the man, I'll put up the tree. Or at least leave that 24 hour Christmas radio station on. Ick!

If you don't indulge in love slaves, that's ok. A digital camera would be a nice substitute. Or, if you're really feeling generous just a stocking full of cash to buy a house would be wonderful. Not something you'd have to make in the toy shop either. Isn't that a bonus? I bet you get tired of wood shavings.

Well, it's getting light outside. I think I'll start some coffee brewing and see if there's any sign of reindeer outside.

Seasons Greetings to you and Mrs. Claus, all the best,

Laura
