Mark your calendars. This is my first vlog – EVER. I’ll admit I was intimidated, and not crazy about seeing myself on camera. I’m not pleased with what this last year of sitting on my butt blogging has done. That being said, that topic is a matter for another post. Today I’m participating in a VLOGOFF!…
Friday Fictioneers is back. Only it’s not Friday. Oops. Maybe I forgot how to read a calendar. Nah, don’t think so. Could be that I figured this blog could use some attention. I’ve been so busy with the editing, writing and (most importantly) family, that I haven’t been around many of the social media sites…
What would you do for love? Let’s face it. The feeling is addictive. It can drive people to crazy extremes. Would you climb the highest mountain? Run across the state? Sit through a marathon of your least favorite television show? How many frogs are you willing to kiss to find your perfect match? (I have…
This is a busy week ahead. School Valentine Day cards must be addressed, one for each kid, in each class, and then there is the homestead to consider. Whether you’re married, dating or playing the single scene, I challenge you to make this Thursday a special one. For Friday the 15th – things may come…
This post is for all my YA and Sci-Fi writer peeps. I realize this is late notice, but my little Monkey is well enough today to sit on the sofa so that I can drag the laptop out and type. I see fewer bed changes and bowl wash outs in store for me today, thankfully.…
It’s Friday. Guess that means I’m trying my hand at another 100 word fiction piece via Friday Fictioneers. Honestly, I didn’t know what I was going to write until 1:30 this morning. The picture is beautiful, but the story just wasn’t coming. Maybe I’m too caught up in edits and writing, or maybe it’s something…
Back in the early 1990’s my father and I flew out to Texas and had the opportunity to tour Austin and the surrounding areas. We liked what we saw and took the family back for a week’s vacation. We enjoyed some R & R at Lake Travis, went shopping in Dallas, explored the famous caverns…
I have been tagged in the fun 7-7-7 game by my friends and fellow writers Jenny Hansen, Krystal Wade, and Jennette Powell. Two of these tags were on Facebook and one via author’s blog. But before we get into the Rule of Seven, have you wondered at all what happened to Thor during those weeks when…
Well, it’s been a crazy week. I’m sure you’ve all had them. When you say you’re going to do certain things and then they just don’t happen. That’s how it’s been. I was lucky enough to attend the fabulous Orange County RWA Chapter meeting last Saturday and listen to the amazing Christine Ashworth and Jessica…
I’m jumping back on the short fiction train. The challenge is to write a story based on the picture prompt and keep it to 100 words. A challenge I take to heart. This fun exercise is something I enjoy and hope to continue. New participants are always welcome. Pop on over and meet our amazing…
It’s disheartening and frustrating when your territory is overrun by unwanted guests. In this case, I’m going to refer to them as the enemy. I’m talking about the weevil. A nasty, undesirable bug that brings destruction. They come at you very stealthy in their sneak attack on your pantry. They move in when your defenses are…
I’ve been a bad little blogger, taking the past two weeks off to enjoy the holidays with my family. I highly recommend it. Quality time is so important and the kids grow up so fast. This blog will officially kick back into the swing of things tomorrow, Tuesday. But today I’m asking how many followers…
