Write something that revolves around movement. Welcome to Day 3 of the Writing Prompt excitement. Something that revolves around movement... Since the lockdown due to the pandemic, I've added a couple of new talents to my repertoire. First, I've become an expert bread-maker. I have a great no-knead recipe that comes out delicious every time.... Continue Reading →
Writing Prompt, Day 2!
"Pick an object from your room. Now describe it in as much detail as possible." Not the most original writing prompt. I'll roll with it though... My gray hoodie is so thin, that if I hold it up to the light, I can see right through the threads. It's the perfect summer cover-up for when... Continue Reading →
Writing Prompt, Day 1! Because why not?
A few years ago I received a thank you gift for helping to organize a writing conference. It's a jar, with little rolled up papers in it. Each paper has a writing prompt. Here's a pic... Cute right? In an effort to make my fingers work and type something... anything... I'm going to grab one... Continue Reading →
Three Things Post
A million years ago, I started to draft this post after lifting the idea from another blogger. Check out Essential Doctor Who, who hopefully doesn't mind that I'm half a decade behind. I'm not sure anyone is interested in all of this information about me, but this seemed like a fun thing to do and... Continue Reading →
Beatlemania? I got it!
A little over a year ago, I was procrastinating with my writing (shocker, I know, haha). It was the middle of the night and I was sitting at my dining room table, laptop open, searching for anything to do other than write, when lo and behold, I found a Procrastinator's Paradise: Carpool Karaoke, a segment...

Best Shows I’ve Binged Lately (and Why You Should Watch Too!)
As I've mentioned, I've been watching a whole-lotta-stuff these days. Thought I'd take a moment to be helpful and share my experience. Below is a list of shows that I've watched recently on Netflix (and one on HBO) and reasons why you should watch them too (unless you're a writer--in that case, STAY AWAY FROM... Continue Reading →
My 200th Blog Post!
Yeah, yeah so I know I've had this blog since January of 2013, and in six-plus years I should probably have more than 200 posts but I have excuses, okay? The two biggest ones are asleep upstairs as I type this. The third excuse is sitting next to me... Kiri Dog Posing in her Patriotic... Continue Reading →
Publishing, Rejections, and Writing is Weird
Being a writer is a weird thing. Some days, weeks, months, you seem to have it all together and everything is flowing. Words, marketing, tweets, posts. Other times, you open the laptop and stare at it until your head starts to bob because you're falling asleep. When things are going great, whoopee! Those are the... Continue Reading →
The Literary Dinner Party Book Tag
The lovely Ginny over at The Discerning Couch Potato (a wonderful review site for those of you interested in romance book reviews) shared this blog post o'fun, and I thought I'd play along! Here's a list of the characters that I'd invite to my dinner party. Using your literary arsenal of characters, who would you invite... Continue Reading →
Drafts
Me again! Having been absent from my WordPress site for some time, now that I'm back, the entire interface seems different (Where are the Daily Prompts? Are we not doing that anymore?). Up in the corner, next to my blog name, there's a little number "41." Click on it and come to figure out that... Continue Reading →
