Too Much of a Good Thing?

Hey guys and gals! Today, I am having a bit of a problem.. A problem that may seem like a first world problem, but it still leaves me wondering what to do.

To start off, I have been on a Youtube video game marathon (I watch my favorite youtuber play games I am too scared of or I can't have them) since last Saturday. Now, I have gotten pretty fa into it and have watched some pretty cool games be completed. My on;y problem is the activities/hobbies I have that I also want done.

If you don't know, which I don't think you do, I am a huge yarn work hobby person. I can latch hook, crochet, cross stitch, and weave. Now, I have also been working a on across stitch project, but while doing it, I lose focus on he games and information on what is going on making me re-watch quite a bit. This may seem silly but it seriously is annoying.

Another big thing I debating while deciding if I want to watch the videos or latch hook is how do I want to spend my $250 for my video games. (I got the gift cards in steam money so it can't go into anything else.) I actually have been really unsure since most of the new games I want, I've already seen the endings to or I know I wouldn't complete them. 

I know, woe is me, I have too much money and too many choices and here I am complaining, but everyone has problems and these are mine for the moment.

So, for the: QUESTION OF THE DAY!

What games would get, or if you didn't get a game what would you stick to? Please post your answers in the comments below or post a link to a video/blg you might have made with one of these options in it. (The marathon one can be any marathon like movies or T.V. since not everyone watches video gamers play)

Thanks guys and gals! I hope some of you don't have my first world problem right now!

A Lesson In Life From A 17 Year Old Girl

So, today guys, I have an important discussion I want to talk about that is affecting my life today. It is the lesson over how things affect your life and how you reacted to show the kind of person you are.

So, here is the situation:

It is about to be Christmas and some of my biological mother's side of the family members want to see me and my brother, Chase. However, my biological mother, Annette, is also in town and staying at my grandparents house to throw the party. They invited Chase and me over to see them just for a day or two and he accepted. I, however, refused.

Now, to some people, that might make me seem pretty rude and even, fucked up. To me, however, it is the best thing I can do. Annette is not a good mom. She is always complaining and blaming people, mostly my sister and me, for her problems. The second horrible thing she does is she used to be very abusive verbally and physically to her and me. Can you see why I don't want to go over?

However, her actions shouldn't affect how I treat my family. If I was an adult or mature, I would go there to see them and not her. But, that is what my lesson is over...

The way to define what kind of person you are is the way you handle problems.

Let's take a tennis ball and wall for example like so:

Now, some people have learned to be like a brick wall enforced with kiln dried bricks: once that sucker hits them with all it's forced, it goes straight back to the thrower with the same force, leaving the person unharmed. Some people are like that same brick wall but, with leather-ware clay bricks, a state at which clay has air dried but is as fragile as glass: once that ball is even tossed at them, they shattered into hundreds of pieces and can never be put back the same again.

And, finally, some people, like me, are the starting material, clay, that made up the first two examples: once a ball is thrown, if it is hard, it can stick or leave a mark. If it is thrown softly, it bounces away leaving nothing at all. This may not seem like a good material as it leaves marks, but it is how some people deal with their problems.

No one's ability to handle problems are exactly the same, but how you deal with the problems differently may give the same results. In a way, it is not the starting material you are made with that matters, it is the way you use it and deal with the problems that counts.

So, for the: QUESTION OF THE DAY!

What kind of wall are you? Please post your responses in the comments below or post a link to a blog or video if you have discussed something like this before.

Thanks guys!

So Tired...

Ever have a company meeting, at 9 in the morning, about something everyone already knew about? Yeah, today is going to be one of those days... ON A SATURDAY!

So, that is why I didn't blog yesterday. I was up from 5 in the morning until midnight and I needed sleep. I didn't have time and I do apologize for that. :'(

The good news is, is I heard are meeting will be serving breakfast. So, maybe it will be better?

So news about my second book:

1. It is almost done being typed up and going to my editor soon to be fixed and ready for the audience

2. It will be free!

3. I am not sure, but I might make the whole series free as well (The more positive responses = the more likely it will be free for the public.)

So for the question of the day: What sucks more: Morning meetings or typing up a 60 page book? Post in the comment below and give me a reason why. As you know, if you read my other blogs, any blog you posted answering this question can be posted as link in the comments!

Thanks guys out there, and a special thanks to Anthony Palmer and Christine Richardson for giving me some professional tips! Any other help, especially mental, will be used and I will give you a shout out as well.

First time for everything

This is about the closest I can describe how I feel about blogging. Not only is this my first time, but I hope this is not my last.

My name is Madison Hughey, 17 years old, and already I am an author with a book published. So, how come no one knows about me? That is simple: I never reached out to other writers like me.

I hope that anyone that reads this and follows me, as I will follow you, doesn't end up like me: slamming your head in your keyboard.

Anyone want to join me in their newbieness or want to simply help me to understand what I am doing, please send me a message. I swear I will listen, or read, any tip you have got. (Even ones sent to me dozens a times!).

Thanks guys :)

(This is the book I published, and no I didn't put this here for you to buy it, I just wanted to make a point)
