It is all in a day…a writing day.
Remember the good ol' days when, as a child, we would write all our hopes, dreams, embarrassing moments, crushes, parent woes, etc. in our diaries? If you didn't, then you missed out on unleashing all your thoughts onto paper then hiding them as if no one could ever find them. My diary back then had... Continue Reading →
I have had a hard time sitting down to write for quite some time. I keep talking about it and thinking about; however, something always seems to get in the way. I can make the excuse that I don't have time, but I do spend some time on the couch watching Netflix.I can make the... Continue Reading →
It is a new year and a new decade. It is hard to believe. Today, I woke up early as every day. I wish I could say it was because I am too excited to start the day. In truth, I would love to sleep in; however, my hound dog has other ideas. He just... Continue Reading →
My inner critic is harsh. Let's just be brutally honest here: my inner critic is a true mean-to-the-bone, socially unacceptable bitch. You know the type: They put you down every chance they get. They blame you for everything wrong that happens. Why did the boyfriend leave? You. Why did you not get that job you... Continue Reading →
It is now December 29th and no I didn't finish NaNoWriMo. I also didn't write a novel. I also totally failed on my exercise schedule. Work meetings and holiday activities got in the way. Excuses I know. The good news is that I did come up with a new children's book and have started writing... Continue Reading →
In just a few days, November will be here. To be that means NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)!! It is the one month of the year where I, and many many others, try to write 50,000 words in just one month. Some of us are successful; some of us are not and that is ok.... Continue Reading →
The time has come. I have finished my second children's book and I am ready to find an Agent to help me get it traditionally published!! But wait...aren't you an Indie Author? Yes, I know, I know. I am and I should just do it myself, but this book is different. It needs artistic skills... Continue Reading →
Everyone struggles in life. Sometimes it takes us down a dark path, but we must always keep trudging along to find the way out. Lately, I have been feeling down. I lie. It has actually been over a year now. I have kept my distance from friends, my house is becoming a disaster, and I... Continue Reading →
Last week I went on vacation and my writing slump felt like it was coming to an end. Then I realized that maybe I hadn't been paying enough attention to myself. Maybe I was neglecting what my body and mind needs. Suddenly, the school year was over and I was on a beach without a... Continue Reading →
This new year is a year to feel positive, to be determined, to work intentionally, and to live life to the fullest. Where did all that come from? Well... The past few months of 2016 have been hard for me. Towards the end of 2016, I felt like I had lost my way... Continue Reading →
Last summer, I started my first flash fiction challenge. I only made it through the first two challenges out of four. That is alright though. The fun of making myself write in areas that I am not the most familiar is good for me. It challenged me and that is the point of the challenge...at... 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 →
