Elizabeth Barstone - Novelist

I'm an optimist and a Taurus. It means I can believe there may be happiness outside my comfort zone, but I'm unlikely to venture there lol. I dislike change.

I don't believe in reincarnation, but I did in my previous life.

I wrote this song a couple years ago for fun. It was one of those ridiculous blanket fort nights where the more absurd ideas we came up with, the better. The end result was the following song fo...


Yeah, I just don't think poetry is my thing. I really, really, really don't think poetry is my thing. I think I'll stick to novels, and emotional ramblings but not poetry. My emotional ramblings...

Poetry in Just me

Ramble into Tuesday in Just me

I'm sure Shakespeare wrote a tragedy about having to be at work at 9 a.m. after staying up until 4:30 a.m. If not, expect one from me lol. My morning self hates my night self. That was something...

Lawnchair Larry in Just me

I was a news monitor for 13 years and kept a file of all the funny news stories that came up during that time. But apparently I was over a decade late getting into the news to get the best stori...

The Leaves are Falling in Just me

I always seem to look ahead to what's coming next instead of living in the moment. Like a lot of the leaves have already fallen from the trees and I'm looking forward to winter. It's only Sunday...

Perspective in Just me

Now I'm seeing ads for an ai companion that promises to be “90% human-like”. To be honest, that’s a higher percentage than some of the human dates I’ve had.  Speaking of exes, very few were ba...


For the past month or so, I've been exploring my family tree, and it turns out one of my direct ancestors is the guy who was also called Robin Hood. His real name was Fulk Fitzwarin and King Jo...
