I signed up for another writing class. Woot, Woot. This one is about Show versus Tell which I think needs to be continually worked on in order for it to be second nature. The class is sponsored by one of the RWA chapters which still ranks as BEST gift ever. It’s a two week course…
So I’m pretty much finished my WIP Pack Justice. I’ve put it on the side for the next couple of weeks until I can look at it with fresh eyes and clean up anything that stands out. I already know I have a couple of issues to sort but after four months of non-stop writing…
I just had to do a quick review on a book I recently read on my Kindle. Code Name: Ghost by Natasza Waters. I liked the cover and I had read an excerpt on the author’s site. Not sure how I stumbled on that, but glad I did. This military romance tells the tale of…
I posted not too far back about using music as a backdrop when I write. Recently, I had the awesome pleasure of going to see Pentatonix in person. If you’re not familiar with them, they won The Sing Off competition. Think Glee. Great people singing current songs acapella. It’s amazing to see and to hear.…
So we’re getting close to the end of the month and it hit. Summer is almost over. Where did time go? I’m supposed to have fun and rest up for the school year but so far haven’t done that at all. I think I might have to actually schedule my fun in the coming weeks…

Can you believe it? It’s been almost 90 days to the day since I start tracking this writing ride I’ve decided to take. I’ve learned so much and learned that there is so much to learn. Does that make sense? I have no regrets for taking this leap of faith. When I’m up late at…
I love music. All music. So it’s no surprise that when I close myself off to write, I set up my IPOD to a few of my favorites. Sometimes it’s a constant loop of a particular artist and sometimes it’s a mix from a certain genre. Country and rock really get me moving. For my…
Cruising through the Kindle today, as I am want to do when I need a real pick me up, and realized that depending on my mood or specific pick me up, I tend to gravitate to my favorite heroes. Sometimes it’s a recent read or sometimes it’s a book from a year or so ago. …
Today was a stressful day on my full time job at the office. Even the four stress ball toys on my desk didn’t help. I had to remind myself about the good things in order to stay calm and make it through my 8 plus hours. I thought about my kids and called them on…
