I should preface this post by saying I have been a Denver Broncos fan since I was young kid and had no team to route for. My loyalty has not been swayed despite the recent Super Bowl victory for 2012. Okay, now that sets the behind the scene story. This Thursday will be a rematch…
HAPPY LABOR DAY, EVERYONE! This week is a bit of a busy one for the family. In addition to the holiday, my sister’s birthday is this week followed by my middle child’s birthday a few days later. Makes for a hectic but fun filled week. On a positive note it’s a four day work week…
I’ve been really trying to branch out. Looking and experiencing all aspects of a writer in the quest to complete stories that I hope to one day share. Recently I discovered a great group of published and unpublished writers. I’m taking up the challenge of the weekend writing warriors. I’m posting 8 sentences from my…
So my site was set up with the bare minimum. This was something I used while I tried to get my feet under me. Over the last few months, I’ve been visiting published and unpublished writers sites and noticing how wonderful and cheery they look. As a result of my web envy, I am in…
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…
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.…
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…
