Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

I was tagged by Tom over at Flowers On A Friday for a meme – and not just any old meme, but a meme on writing a letter to yourself at 13 years of age. Wow, but fun. And the last thing I do before I run away, as this is something I [...]

For anyone and everyone who has ever wondered if perhaps the inability to write (or be creative generally) has something to do with how much they work, I can faithfully say that how much you work (especailly if your work makes you very tired like teaching does) most definitely affects how much you are able [...]

Last year I tried Nanowrimo for the first time ever.  Also known as the masochistic pleasure of attempting to write a novel in one short month.  I failed miserably,  I barely passed 1000 words, but since I was working for the family from Hell in Turkey as their slave girl, I think that [...]

I have a new blog started over at www.stickyapplekisses.com, mostly because this blog is chaotic at best.  I don’t want to give up my paid posts, just because when I am traveling I can continue to make money without having to have a set job.  The trip through Africa next year means that the money [...]

So despite threatening for a very long time to put a new Young Germany blog entry up, I have finally done so thanks to the horrendous amount of time spent on trains going to and from (literally) the middle of Germany for a job.  Autobahn adventure is finally up, and proves that long train rides [...]

I was chosen by the most awesome Linda over at Raven’s Roads for the Rockin’ Girl Blogger award!!!

Thank you so much!
Part of the honor is you get to pass the award on. And it just so happens I know of a number of rockin girl bloggers [...]

The newest E4W is now out (well technically has been out for a couple of days, but I have been too crazy busy meeting new students and with old students I haven’t had time to blog.  Which is very crazy busy for me as blogging is a source of travel funds!)  But you don’t need [...]

At the moment I am craving chocolate and trying to catch up on everything that I am behind on.  I have no idea how it even happens.  At the moment I am self employed as an English teacher.  I decided to turn down the job at the day care center.  After I looked over the [...]

And I pass this on to all potential writers or those who just want to exorcise a bad song from their head.
Ruined Music is looking for true stories on why a song is ruined (I love how they ask that you do not include in your story possibly illegal threats or acts of revenge).
Hee hee.

This post really only applies to my fab female Canadian friends.  Sorry everyone else.    BUT, while in the fit of a funk and surfing the internet (because that is what I do when I am in a funk) I found this site calling for submissions for BookMark Stories from Canadian women to write [...]

My latest Young Germany blog is up here: Sherrie’s Young Germany Blog.  I could have wrote about the move and how painful it was.  I could have wrote about how stupid I was not to consider freelance English instructor last time I was here (find your own jobs and get paid more), I could have [...]

New issue of E4W is out!! Go read its goodness!
Now I go to home and to bed!    Internet stealing has stopped! 

Because free, artistic expression, and hyper-efficiency all rock! Email is as follows:

Hey Kids,

For the the first time ever, I am shamelessly publicising me. A little weird, but here’s the deal…

I’ll be reading an excerpt from a play in progress called “Girl, On Girl.” at the Backdoor Cabaret Monday Night at the [...]

I did not use my time wisely today. I was hoping to write something vaguely productive, as well as finish my next entry for my Young Germany blog. Instead I am bitterly disappointed I won’t be able to squeeze in my trip to Montreal before leaving for Germany like I had hoped. [...]

While I’m translating Fernweh some of us are writing their own books.  (I’ll write mine next year when we do our next trip). 
I’m adding Linda Raven Moore’s motorcycle adventures to my blogroll.  She also has a page on her history adventures as well.  So you know I recommend her. 
And yes [...]

My little rant about working a crap job for money, only expressed here in finer more poetic form:
Scientific Facts 
and
Animals Have Problems Too

This is a problem with being a gypsy princess. You never want to stay in one place too long. John sent a text with an emergency download. The Grotan Project. I am in love. And it makes me want to go back to Argentina with a physical ache. My [...]

Today is proving to be quite productive!  I FINALLY finished my first blog entry for the Young Germany blog.  Not that it was a brilliant piece of writing worthy of the time it took to write it.  Rather it is more like I am an idiot.    After I was accepted I wasn’t quite [...]
