[stylist] HumanWare and Houses

Sun Mar 16 07:29:52 UTC 2014

I remember when I had two little guys to run around after, so I know what 
you mean.
I didn't have time to read, much less write.
I'm 48, so if I'm going to become anything, I better get cracking.
I'm glad you found your life partner.
I just have this fantasy that I'll meet her, she won't be like Susan (that's 
"Sandy"'s real name), or any of the others I've met, and I'll spirit her 
away to Kauai or Maui, there to purchase a honey house that screams love at 
you the minute you look at it.
She will be as romantic as me, and possibly a fellow artist, and we will 
spend our days in serenity.
The walls of our honey cottage will be panelled with cedar, like the Song of 
Solomon describes. The house will welcome us with its freshly painted pine 
or fir.
It will be made of as much living wood as possible. I love wood.
Not as much as fur, but pretty much.

I think everyone is seeking that life partner, romantic or plutonic, who
they can spend life with. That person who just gets you, who loves you
no matter what. That person who is there no matter the circumstances.

I'm very, very lucky to have found that person, and we've been married
for 8 years now and have the most beautiful little boy, smile.

But as for the writing... What writer doesn't want to make a living from
it? And finding time to write these days is near impossible. I have
difficulty finding time to check email. This is the only listserve I
check in with these days.

One of my mentors and former profs didn't publish his first book until
he was 39 though, so I have seven years yet, this gives me hope, grin.

I'm a writer with a mission: to be one little blinkie who gets off her
disability check, and moves back to Maui, or even Kauai, hopefully with
a
life partner, where I purchase a honey house--not a palace, but a honey
house surrounded by trees, sweetened by the trade breeze from the sea,
and
so vibey when you walk in, that it seems the house itself is welcoming
you. I lived for 12 years in such a house with my ex. We were married
for 16
years.
Then he died last summer, and the house guest who came to stay is now
lord
of the manor.
I miss my honey house. I miss Rob. I miss the good times we had. I've
got a story, fictionalized, paranormalized, but nonetheless, it's how I
feel about my honey house on Maui.
The house that was taken over by strangers.
But if I could write my way out of this isolation with WheelTrans, write
my
way out of this loneliness, maybe write my way into another honey house,
I
think I would feel so at peace, especially if I had someone to share it
with.

Hi Thea,

I think you have to buy the VRS Mark 2 if you want to visit Bookshare,
access the wikis and all that jazz.  Like I said, it's pretty pricey for
wee little blinkies on our wee little disabilitty checks, but well worth
the cost.
