आप Know You're A Writer When. . .
(feel free to agree या disagree with any of these.)
-You skip meals या don't eat as much because you're too eager to get back to the story आप were working on. (Yeah, I did this at lunch today. Deliberatly stopped eating early 'cause I had to get back to my story.)
-You have a notebook and pen या pencil that आप carry everywhere. (Mine's right here अगला to me.)
-You freak out if ANYTHING happens to कहा notebook. (I start going ballistic if I even set it down in a different place and it takes me a मिनट to remember where I set it.)
-You listen to songs and think, "Oh, this would be great for this scene in this story." या 'This totally fits the situation in the story I'm working on."
(I'm listening to "How To Save A Life" and it's reminding me of two of my lion characters.)
-You actually consult your characters on a problem. (Oh, I wonder what this character would do?)
-You use the same character, (in a million different incarnations and occasionally with a last name change,) for every single story because आप just like him या her. (Ok, maybe that one's just me. I have 10,000 different incarnations of this charrie in my stories.)
Hoep आप enjoyed!

When will this end?
Mass shootings
Terrorist attacks
Police brutality
They say it's just a gun control problem
They say it cannot be fixed
I say the problem is deeper
I say there is hope
When will this end?
Income inequality
Veterans living on the streets, penniless,
Dying द्वारा their own hands everyday.
They say this world can change for the better
But nothing has changed...
And I truly do fear
Nothing ever will
When will प्यार start?
The दिन we offer a hand to the fallen
Instead of cringing back in shock
And running away
When will our world change?
The दिन we प्यार too much to kill
The दिन others' pain is our pain
The दिन we act instead of just talking about it
"It's impossible"
"We're too broken to be mended"
"It's a hopeless battle"
I say, let us try.

It’s the color of you
आप always wore it
It’s the color we shared
As we hid form them
With it we showed our true selves,
Though no one cared
Our नारंगी, ऑरेंज book bags
Saved us from some pain
We protected each other
But it wasn’t enough
We were like two नारंगी, ऑरेंज crayons
When everyone else was green
Then आप left me alone,
All I had was our color orange
As they hit me
I took peace in knowing
आप were in the नारंगी, ऑरेंज field in the sky
आप always कहा was there.
The नारंगी, ऑरेंज of the sun set
Is your smile
Even though आप left too soon
Orange…
Now it’s my color
My way of remembering you
Now I am the lone नारंगी, ऑरेंज in the rainbow
Without आप here
I protect my own
Though I wish आप were here
Now नारंगी, ऑरेंज is my color
A color for आप bravery
A color for my survival
नारंगी, ऑरेंज will forever be our color
Even though death took आप away
Forever नारंगी, ऑरेंज for you,
Sweet Cassidy.
