BLOG: Working Away…

Posted on August 6, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Here we are, waiting on our lunchtime carry out. I have not written in a week. I also have not left the house much. The reason is because I have been busy assembling the first draft of my new book. It’s as finished as it can be. It’s all...Read More

BLOG: The New Rules of Engagement

Posted on July 13, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. The morning started out rough. I had a nightmare, which is normal at this point, but still extremely triggering. Got upset. Left the apartment as soon as possible to come to the coffee shop and write. Writing is the only thing that keeps me sane in this world. Writing...Read More

BLOG: Monday Blues

Posted on July 12, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. I am back at the coffee shop after a two-week hiatus. I haven’t been feeling well, so I have been staying in my apartment in the mornings. It’s good to be back at the coffee shop. The Krewe that works here is super fun. Plus, the theme is cats,...Read More

BLOG: And The Balls Win Again

Posted on June 16, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday evening. Against my better judgment, I decided to brave the rain and venture up to the Mid-Levels for the Quiz Night I was invited to. The person who invited me is not here. So now I am sitting here at the bar all alone, watching everyone else play trivia,...Read More

BLOG: Failure, but with Style & Confidence!

Posted on June 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Here we are. How did my job thing go today? Oh, it didn’t. Why? The usual, well-documented reason. I freaked out, had an anxiety attack, started crying, went into full meltdown mode, and then locked myself in my room and shut off my phone. Sadly, this is normal for...Read More

Thursday night. Here I am at the Cantina. I was going to go to the pizza place for their party but it was too hot and there were no tables available. So now I am here. I did not go out with that random guy last night. Good for me....Read More

BLOG: In the Mood for Love

Posted on May 22, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday morning. Woke up early from a bad dream. I can’t remember it, as per usual. I either don’t remember or have a very intense, dark nightmare. I wake up angry and frustrated so often. I can’t get rid of the anger. I don’t know how to filter it out....Read More

BLOG: CAN-tonese or CANT-onese?

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. What a crazy week it’s been. Somehow I managed to accomplish everything on my To Do List except pay my phone bill. I don’t know how I forgot. I went to the phone store, I printed out my ticket, I planned to go pay it at 7/11, and then...Read More

BLOG: Confidence Boost

Posted on May 20, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday night. At the Greek place. It’s pretty poppin’ tonight. The owner here recognizes me now that I have been here four times, including once with a friend. Also, I’m a beautiful lady. I can tell this man appreciates beautiful ladies. I’ve also heard his very personal yacht rock closing...Read More

BLOG: Scars from the Past

Posted on May 17, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. My neighborhood and the coffee shop are both dead as a doornail. I asked the barista if there is a holiday I don’t know about today. He said the holiday is next week. He also says Mondays are usually pretty dead for some reason. No one really knows why....Read More
