So, I felt it was a good time to give an update on my personal, professional, and creative milestones. First, from September to December, I was thrown… Continue reading Life Update
Looking Back and Forging Ahead
I want to make the year 2020 HUGE! Of course, don't we all want to see differences each year? Lose weight, quit bad habits, exercise more, spend more time with family, find a new career. The list goes on and on. I'm obviously no different. 2019 for me was not anything outrageous or incredible. As… Continue reading Looking Back and Forging Ahead
Podcasts Illuminations Equals Change
Tonight I listened to The Creative Penn Podcast "My 2017 Goals. Plus Visualization and Positive Thinking for Authors with Nina Amir" I must say, it was very inspiring.

Are You A Plotter or a Pantser?
Wowza! Can I just say how super surprised I am this year. My story, Juliet, Missing is going fantabulous. I have just over 11K words already. What is so totally different for me this year is the fact that I'm not using an outline. That is a huge difference. I mean, you have no idea… Continue reading Are You A Plotter or a Pantser?
A New Year, a New NaNoWriMo!
All this week I have been sweating bullets, racking my brain, trying to find a story idea for NaNoWriMo. Last year I got an idea just a few days before November 1st. The year before that, I dreamed something that led me to a solid story idea just four days before November 1st. And the… Continue reading A New Year, a New NaNoWriMo!
I wasn't feeling well at all yesterday, and while that is not too great of an excuse not to write, I still didn't. So today I must do two. (I'll do them separately, however.) WHO INSPIRES YOU THE MOST? Gosh...I really sometimes just do not like this question. I mean, in what atmosphere are we… Continue reading

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 3
WHAT ARE YOUR THREE BIGGEST PET PEEVES? You know, I try my darndest to be forth giving when it comes to the quirks people attach themselves to. I know I have plenty of them myself and so I hope others forgive me for my annoyances, bothersome traits, and what-have-you. Still, there are things that I… Continue reading 30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 3
I’ve Been Smacked in the Face By My Muse!
So for three long years my writing partner Will and I worked diligently on co-writing our epic fantasy series. We finished in January with book one. I've not been able to touch the dang book (book two) ever since. Oh, I tried. I definitely tried. And we even got a good 25K words in to… Continue reading I’ve Been Smacked in the Face By My Muse!
