Embracing Fun and Friendship on Our Texas Road Trip
Happy Sunday! This was a great weekend. My sweetheart and I went to visit some friends in Texas. He is a gamer (I am too just not as much), and they all play several games together online. Once a year, they have an in-person get-together, and this year, we were able to join in. They […]
From Rabbit Holes to Inspiration: A Few Ideas For Research!
Research can be a fun part of writing; it can also be daunting but necessary. My research usually leads me down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos, audiobooks, books, or even movies. It is also suggested to read what you want to write. I love reading, so picking up a good cozy mystery, romance, paranormal […]
In Loving Memory: Axel’s Final Journey
A rainbow is created when light from the sun is scattered by water droplets through a process called refraction. My belief is that the rainbow bridge, to me, is created from all the tears shed by broken hearts when their beloved pets pass. The angels cry as well because an innocent soul that loved unconditionally […]
Characters and How Do You Find Names?🤷🏼♀️
First, I want to thank those who came out to the Southern Festival of Books on Sunday to say “Hi.” It was a beautiful and warm day. I made some new friends and good connections. So, thank you again for your support. Someone asked me the other day how I come up with names for […]
Fun Day ~ Sunday!
Hello and Happy Sunday, everyone! Today has been kind of a whirlwind. The weather was beautiful, so I was able to reach my exercise goal with a nice walk to our favorite coffee shop. We also tried to start Axel on his appetite stimulant, but for a dog who moves really slowly these days, he […]
Big Baby Updates (and More)
It’s Wednesday, and honestly, I don’t feel like writing this post right now. I say it’s Wednesday, but the clock has just turned to Thursday. Updating you on my big baby is part of the reason I don’t feel like writing. I know I don’t have to say anything about him and how he is […]
I Apologize for Missing Sunday’s Post🙁
Currently, it is 1:25 a.m., I have an audiobook going, just finished washing the recyclables, starting the dish washer, and am finally starting to feel sleepy. I do have to apologize for missing my post yesterday. I’m sure I will head to bed before I finished writing this, but I will publish it. This has […]
“Creative Sparks: Navigating Feedback and New Ideas”
Great class today! Not that most of my creative writing class time isn’t great—it is—but today I received some feedback on my Dating Die-Sasters novel. One of my classmates gave me some really good feedback, and then my professor shared his thoughts. I’m thrilled that he is okay with me using my book for class […]
Some Hidden Costs of Adulthood: A Personal Journey or Rant🤪
What Is It With Growing Up? 🤪 I remember when I was a teenager, not quite 13, I had a friend in her mid-twenties. She wisely told me, “Don’t rush growing up; have fun because it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. You have to pay bills, find a job, and take care of […]
Hello and Happy Mid-Week!
Sunday I wrote about my weekend getaway. This is an addition to that post. On Sunday, after I had already published, I found this quaint little metaphysical shop. After walking around a bit and talking with one of the owners, I was inspired to ask if they would be open to carrying my books. She […]
