Digging Deep With Creative Nonfiction – Part 2
Last Wednesday, I shared some of my classwork from creative nonfiction. I spoke about it being harder to write than I thought and how I ended up tossing what I started off with. I shared the first draft that I planned to submit. It was ok, but still not what I was aiming for. Today, […]
From Anesthesia to Creativity: Reflections in Words
Yesterday, I failed to post because I had a medical procedure. All went well, but after coming home, I primarily slept. Anesthesia and I get along rather well, which is why I slept most of the day. The rest of the day, I was trying to rewrite, actually completely redo, my homework for my creative […]
A Brief Peek Into How I Choose Book Locations!
Happy Wednesday! I’m taking a little break today as I have a few things I want and need to do before tomorrow. I’m preparing the items I will be taking for the family’s Thanksgiving get-together as I’m sure some of you are as well. I will briefly touch on how I like to research the […]
Writer’s Block and How I Do or Do Not Deal – Part 1
Writer’s block – the art of turning “not” writing into a sport. Procrastination becomes your companion. Ideas of things to write about become things to do instead.

The angels cry as well because an innocent soul that loved unconditionally […]

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 […]
A Little Time Away🌺
Hello my friends! This weekend has been so nice and peaceful. My Sweetheart and I took a weekend away. His dad came to dog/house sit so we could take a break. We decided to visit Cookeville, TN, for our short trip. Why Cookeville, you may ask? Well, first, we have friends who own a little […]
