It is all in a day…a writing day.
Ten years ago, my sister was watching 20/20 or Primetime News and saw a story that immediately made her think of me. The story was about people whose senses seem to be blended: people who taste color, see certain numbers in color, "see" words they say, etc. Finally, I now had a name for my "different...

A lot of us (on the East Coast of United States) are about to deal with snow whether it be winter watches or blizzard warnings. So what to do while snowed in? Eat s'mores and read! So today...my second book Stories After Dark is free! Go and enjoy a quick read! BUT don't read this book... Continue Reading →
I am no stranger of thinking negatively...from thinking I am the most unattractive woman around to thinking that the stranger next to me is a serial killer. Although, really, that last one might be more of a paranoid side effect of reading too many Ted Bundy true stories, along with living in Tallahassee, Florida years... Continue Reading →
Every January, Goodreads asks about a reading goal. Every January, I type in my book number and start a list of books to read. Today, I looked back at the books from 2015 and realized that (1) I didn't read enough books and (2) I forgot to put some books on Goodreads, but I still... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow is the last day of NaNoWriMo 2015. I can't believe the month is coming to a close. November has been a month of ups and downs for me. It has also been the most depressing NaNoWriMo I have had in three years....but as Lily Tomlin has said, "The road to success is always under... Continue Reading →
Today is November 1st. For some people, that means getting ready for Thanksgiving. For me? It means getting on a strict writing schedule to participate in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). NaNoWriMo is about getting to that magic word count of 50,000 words in one month. This is my 3rd year attempting that. My goal... Continue Reading →
I struggle with finding the time to write. There are some months that I am proud of what I am accomplished. However, there are also months where I am overwhelmed with writing IEPs and exhausted from teaching and/or meetings at work. It is hard as hell to have four jobs. I said four, I know. Technically,...

Today seems like the perfect reading day. I love a day where it is a little chilly out. Then I curl up on the couch and read a book (even if it is just during my son's naptime). So if you have just an hour like sometimes I do, go read one of my books.... Continue Reading →
This is the last week of my thirties and good riddance! I used to think my thirties were the best decade: I got married, bought a house, fell in love with teaching, self-published two books, was given an awesome opportunity to go to San Francisco for a photo shoot (DHC customer spotlight), and had the miracle...

Today is officially my last day of summer. I woke up to my four-year-old sliding in bed with me and snuggling. There is no better way to start the day than that. However, it makes the thought of waking up tomorrow and going to work a hard one. I am excited to have the new... Continue Reading →
Self-doubt is a powerful thing. She can make you believe that you are not capable of doing something; that you aren't worthy; that no one will like what you create. Self-doubt is a kryptonite like none other. She will devour you, spit you out onto the curb and wait for you to one day get your... Continue Reading →
