Scribbles and Scrambles - Personality

Writers often seem to be melancholy personalities.
With great art comes great angst, right?

Those of us who produce things that can't be called great are maybe the ones who also define angst as a snagged fingernail or an annoying friend problem.

I do have annoying friend problems, but rarely lose sleep while I write epic novels dredged from the feelings inspired by said problems.

I also rate low on the fingernail obsessiveness chart.
A fingernail snag is easily remedied by a) teeth or b) jeans.
Seriously – denim works as a fingernail file in a pinch.
Wonder what fingernail chewing says about me? I don't chew them every day. Just at the perfect ripeness.

Here's a site to take a on-line personality test. http://oneishy.com/personality/

I am currently Choleric – 8 strengths – Phlegmatic – 8 weaknesses. I’m sure housekeeping and fingernail care would fall under weaknesses.

Is it a bad thing if my test results have changed dramatically from the first time I took it four months ago?
I used to be melancholy.
Guess I’ve been having a better week.
Hope yours is great as well.

Welcome to Scrambled Dregs....

I tend to see things from different angles while marching to the drumbeat of a different drummer. This is sometimes of benefit and often frightening.

The name Scrambled Dregs was suggested by a writing critique partner. Dregs are the little brown flecks of coffee that sometimes make their way into the pot. One might think this is a negative comment on my personality and my thought process.

Not me, because I am a optimist in the order of Pollyanna. Dregs with a twist of optimism -- almost as good as a double mocha latte.

Various dregs will appear on this blog. Some profound -- when I quote others --some silly-- when I babble.

The categories:
Snippets and Sound Bites
Scribbles and Scrambles
Scary and Sensational
Serials and Scenarios

The topics will be near and dear to me; life, faith and writing.

I hope you'll join me, and I hope you'll benefit from what my friends and I have to say.
