Can’t believe it’s that time already. I’ve gotten the kids supplies together, new clothes and shoes since they are in the growth phase and all the goodies for their packed lunches. Honestly, I feel like their return to school is a return for me as well and I’m not excited at all. The thrill of…
So I went with some friends to a wine tasting. Nothing too fancy. Just a small local winery offering a sampling of the wines made at their vineyard. I’m not a huge wine fan because I have migraines and wine sets them off even more. However, I had a really good time and sampled some…
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…
Summer has really kicked it in gear in my neck of the woods. 100 degree days that range from hot and humid to hot and dry. It’s only fitting that my Friday favorites address some summer time edibles. Things that make you think and remember all the goodies you enjoyed as a kid during the…
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…
