I thought I might take a moment and introduce BRAIN VOMIT... the stuff that floats around in my head. It's the link you may have noticed at the top of our page. I've had some questions so I thought I would share some answers. This is a page where I have been posting my writings... mostly personal essays and poems. All my personal essays are true experiences. I have found that in story telling it is easier for me to write based on my past rather than on any fiction I could dream up. (I would love to write creative stories someday but I seem to be in a perpetual writer's block when it comes to fantasy... that or everything I write turns into romance porn... aka Nora Roberts style. Just ask Erin.)
Anyway, BRAIN VOMIT is not for the weak at heart or for anyone who would like to maintain a positive opinion of me. Nothing rated R, but it is my raw emotion... my heart bleeding on paper. Some stuff you may know and the other I haven't really shared... But recently I have felt the need (almost compulsion) to write it down. Like that one song...
"2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
Inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to"
I have labels active if you want to sort by type. The essays are fairly recent, one written while I was at college and the other just a month or so ago. The poems span more time. A couple from high school, some from college, others post-college. Eventually I'm hoping to post creative pieces as well as some talks I've written. We'll see.
I ALWAYS encourage feedback. I would love to know how to make the essays more engaging or how to improve on the poetry. So PLEASE feel free to comment. But don't feel like you have to. You can always pretend you never read anything, hehe.
And again, if you want to see me as all hearts and roses, I wouldn't go there. If you don't want to know what I'm really thinking, just stay right where you are on Forever Sweethearts. Otherwise enjoy... and if you come across something that stings, please don't judge.
Love you!

I love your dark side. I have tried doing this kind of therapy, though my talent is nothing compared to yours. If you want to know what has helped me in the past...write your dark side, that is what will release your raw emotion. But for me, after every five or so, be sure to write a good memory. Releasing only the bad only helps to encourage more anger and darkness. Love ya lady! Keep them coming.
Also is that Ana Nalick "Breathe"? I started singing it after I read it.
That's so weird to think that you, happy Mrs. Burns, has a not-so-happy-go-lucky side. It was also quite weird to read the following sentence "or everything I write turns into romance porn." I was like O_o
And somewhat agreeing with the poster above, the dark side of somebody is almost always intriguing. -_^
Thanks for the support ;) And, yes, the song is Ana Nalick "Breathe." I'm glad I'm not the only one who has it in their head now, hehe!
Writing can be a wonderful release of emotions and situations that somehow trouble us...or that we feel we "shouldn't have".
It can be hard living up to how people see us all the time.
The darkerside is there in us all and writing is a wonderful way of expressing it.
But I agree with one of the previous writers....mix in some happy or positive once in a while or the darkness can creep in to close.
Keep up the great work!!
I have always been a fan of Debbbie writing! And I think anyone who thinks everyone life is constant fluff needs a reality check! I also think that this world is built on peoples differences. So I hope no one gets offended either. Me on the other hand.. I've been looking for some fresh new reading material. :)
P.S. Your talent has always been a inspiration to me. You have always been very good at, well, everything I can think of. You excel at what ever you put your mind to. I've always envied that of you. So don't be mad when I say that it makes me a little happy to hear you say "perpetual writters block." I thought I was the only one swinging around in that little world!
I have not ventured to Brain Vomit, but when I do, I'll share my thoughts....I am not afraid, but maybe not ready....
you rock.
later debbie!
