I had a post all planned out for today but I didn’t save it and it went poof into the atmosphere. So the time spent here is not wasted, I decided to list some of my favorite books from this week on my Kindle. I love branching out and trying new authors or books. Carolyn…
I took a break from writing to get some reading in and I’m so excited about a recent new release of a self-published author I’ve been following. JA Hornbuckle’s (jahornbuckle.com) latest release is smoking HOT. Everybody Falls leaves the familiar town of Grantham, Colorado and takes us on a journey of love and discovery for…
Fan girl squeal all the way. I just received notification that my submission for the 22nd Annual Duel on the Delta contest was the final round WINNER in the Paranormal category. I am beyond excited and pleased in a way I can’t even put into words. The entire process was so smooth and easy despite…
I’m coming up on my 90 days from the date I started this wild ride. I’m not where I want to be YET but there are a couple of items I can check off my list with some other items that hopefully can be checked off by month end. (Bold items have been completed.) Start…
Family, family, family. The holidays just recently passed. (Memorial Day) It’s not one of those “big” holidays but it is one where quite a few employers give their people a day off.

So, today I decided to switch things up. I don’t want this blog to be all about me, though I will continue to share the highs and lows of the writing journey as I discover things along the way. BUT, today, I thought I’d do a review. Not an official line by line and plot…
Have you ever had that shivery feeling that something big was going to happen? You weren’t sure if it was going to be good or bad but your stomach knotted with anticipation. Last Saturday that happened to me. I was antsy on and off in the morning and couldn’t figure out why. Then I decided…
I’m not sure where this rates on a scale, but I’m 25k words in on my work in progress. I spun my wheels for a bit and got caught in rewrite purgatory. For me, it means I made the horrible mistake of reading what I had so far and constantly editing. Luckily I broke the…
In the last few weeks, I have discovered that writing is like going back to school. Books to read, details to study and learning to apply everything you’ve covered.
