My beautiful friend Sheri Fink has tagged me in The Next Big Thing. Some of you have heard of this little game. Some of you know I’ve played along before. But this time is different and it might surprise you. I’m a tad late getting this out. Everyone else was nicely organized and posted together on November…
I’ve decided to jump on the Flash fiction band wagon thanks to Ted Strutz‘s urging. *Waves to Ted* Writing something in only 100 words is new to me, but I’m willing to take on the challenge. Today’s prompt is also provided by Ted – yay Ted! Your comments and critiques are welcome, and feel free to…
I have a bad habit. I fall in love too often. Have too many men, and none of them are real. Yep. I hate to say it, but I fall for the hero time and time again in the books I read. Sigh. The thing is, I want to love the main man. Whether the…
Wilde’s Meadow is the third book in the Darkness Falls series. It’s set to release November 5th. That’s only two months away, people! Not familiar with this brainchild by author Krystal Wade? It’s a fairly new young adult fantasy that has people talking. Wilde’s Meadow follows Wilde’s Fire and Wilde’s Army. Be warned, if you pick up book one,…
The past week or so I started finding the extra time, as summer started winding down and the kids prepared to go back to school, to inch back into a blogging groove. Maybe you noticed. I began getting out there again. I’m trying to visit blogs and keep up with mine while still maintaining a…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a sample of my work on the blog. To be honest, I shy away from it. I tend to take the safe rather than sorry philosophy when it comes to considering querying agents and publishers. But a new meme is making its way around the blogosphere. Maybe you’ve…
Yesterday, across the United States, people everywhere were celebrating a right and privilege we as a people declared on July 4th 1776. The war that followed to obtain that freedom would continue to play on for another seven years. There is another freedom that we should be celebrating as well. The freedom of creativity. It’s a…
Wednesday posts have taken on a bit of a writer’s theme lately. Don’t you be getting used to it now. I can be a fickle girl. But today, I’ll be sharing more writerly stuff. Only this time, I won’t be sharing anyone’s work but my own. Try not to mash your teeth and run away.…
Where was I Wednesday? Getting ready to check out of my week of edit paradise, I awoke to a sea of white outside my window. All that after a night of babies crying and men coughing into all hours of the night. I was driving down the mountain at a snail’s pace with a HUGE…
Friday! I love Fridays, don’t you? First, I’d like to put a big shout out to my new followers. I plan to pay you all a visit when I get back from my writer’s retreat. What retreat you ask? Well, I am currently holed up by myself in an undisclosed location for an entire week to…
Have you seen the Lucky 7 meme going around? Crazy as it may sound, I got tagged not once, but four times! No, seriously, I did. Jennifer L. Oliver over at World Beneath the Evening Star hit me on the 20th, CC MacKenzie at Fizz and Fangs on the 22nd, Lisa Hall-Wilson from Girls With Pens on…
I can’t believe 80 days have passed me by already. Are we truly at the end? Sheesh. Where did all those days go? Tomorrow’s the last day. What did I learn? Since I am writing this in advance, I can’t tell you for sure where the kids and I are. We are playing our…
