Blogger Without a Cause
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 →
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 →
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...

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 →

In January of 2013, I started this blog and wrote a post. I hit "publish" even though I had zero followers and hadn't invited anyone to read it. Here's part of what I wrote: I don’t know where my ideas will come from, or if I will ever even have another one, never mind a... Continue Reading →
I sit on my couch and watch the lights twinkle on the Christmas tree. I consider keeping it up all year because taking it down seems like a daunting task. Also, it's pretty. Little M., who's not so little anymore, smiles on the couch next to me, watching the iPad and playing with a toy.... Continue Reading →
I've been writing posts and keeping them in my drafts because I feel so incredibly self-centered talking about me, me, me all the time. Especially with everything going on in the world. But guess what? Here's another post about me. I tried checking out the Daily Prompts. There was one I liked about a mystery... Continue Reading →
Two years ago, I wrote a blog post on Halloween night discussing whether I should take part in NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. I did do NaNo that year and "won," meaning I wrote 50,000 words in the month of November. That first draft sucked. But for the next year and a half I worked... Continue Reading →
