Prepping for Author Con: Getting Ready for the Weekend!
As I sit on the couch, all cozy in a furry (fake fur) blanket, warm hoodie, and comfy, soft leggings, writing this post, I’m hoping this cold and rainy front that has crept in will go away before Saturday. Why, you ask? Because the first Annual Author Con in Smyrna, TN is this weekend, and […]
Can a Well-Seasoned (Not Old) Dog Learn New Tricks? I Think So! 🐾
My question, “Can you teach a well-seasoned dog new tricks?”, is one I’ve asked myself several times recently—well, several times in the last six months. And of course, this isn’t about training old dogs. I know—I have enough of them! But this isn’t about dogs. Also, I prefer words like well-seasoned, vintage, and classic to […]
What Do You Think? Dogmen, Cryptids, and the Unexplained!
“‘There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.’– Shakespeare Happy Wednesday! Today has been a good day. I got up early, just as I planned, fed my sweetheart and the dogs, ate breakfast, and then headed to my painting class. On the way to class, I continued […]
The Echo Of A Dream ~ Brought On A Loss of Words
Hello and Happy Sunday! Some may say it’s rare for me to be at a loss for words, but today, I kind of am. I think it’s because of the semi-bad and gross dream I had this morning. I’d rather not go too deeply into it, but I will say it involved death, decay, animals, […]
Dag Gone It! When Schedules Go Off the Rails
Missed my self-set deadline to get my blog posted on time. Why did I miss it, you may ask? I slipped… I was doing really well with my schedule—going to bed early and getting up at a decent time—except for the last few days, which means I slipped back into my old bad habits. Today […]
Progress, Passion, and a Little Ranting
Today has been a good day. We had a storm last night, which meant I slept deeply. I love storms. Back home in Kentucky, I would sit outside and watch the lightning dance across the sky, accompanied by the rolling sounds of thunder. Now, I enjoy sleeping to the sound of thunder—I find it soothing. […]
Making Travel Better, One Smile at a Time🛫
I’m sitting at the airport (hopefully at my final gate—it has changed three times). This gate is actually nice and quiet, which is great for me to write in. Going through the TSA portion was quite sad. I am a former TSA employee (I worked as a dual officer). Whether checking tickets/IDs, sitting at the […]
I’m So Close I Can Feel It!
Okay, maybe not that close, but I’m close to having my first adult novella completed and ready for beta readers—the first major leg of the publishing process. I already have part of it with my editor, so I’m well on my way to having Dangerous Desires finished on time for Author Con on March 8th […]
A Snippet of My Dangerous Desires
Hello and Happy Wednesday! Well, for at least another 5 minutes. I spent most of the day researching locations, native American tribes in researched locations, dogmen sightings in chosen location, and writing. I did a few other things of course, but the majority of my day was doing what I love, “writing” and making a […]
Good Week = Productive Week
Happy Sunday, Everyone! This week has been somewhat productive, which, for me lately, is an improvement. Last week, I had a touch of whatever cold-type sniffle thing is floating around, and with my bad sleep habits, I ended up sleeping most days. I even missed my painting class on Wednesday. I accomplished minimal writing and […]
