More Than Just Clothes 👗
I spent today going through my closet, trying things on to see if they still fit, still looked good, or if it was finally time to let them go. After trying on all my dresses, skirts, and a few blouses, my closet now has a little more breathing room. Honestly, I had been putting off […]
A Few Kind Words Can Change a Day😊
Have you ever had a day where you felt like a complete slob, like you weren’t doing anything right, and all you wanted to do was lie down and pull the covers over your head until the next day? I kind of had one of those days yesterday. I wasn’t having a productive day. Things […]
Trying to Motivate My Motivation 🤪
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone’s doing well and having a productive day. I personally am trying to work up the motivation to be productive. One of my new goals with my Goals Group is to be in bed by 1:00 a.m. at least three times a week, instead of my usual 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. […]
Midweek Musings: Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone. 📦
Happy Mid-Week, Everyone! As I sit here writing this post, remembering last year and thinking about everything that is still to come in the new year, I find myself feeling a little overwhelmed.

Villains Ready. Murder Planned. Characters… Missing in Action.
Stuck at the Prologue Door (Because My Characters Locked It)🔐 It’s like a Great Prologue Standoff! Because my characters are TRYING to take a holiday break! I’ve been trying to write the prologue for Dating Die-Sasters for the last week, and I’m stuck. I know what I want to write — I have the full […]
“The Voice That Whispers, and the Strength to Silence It”
I have an upcoming speech that I’m currently writing and will be giving this coming Saturday at my Toastmasters club. I’ve been thinking about this topic for a while, but because I was working on my novel, I kept putting it off. Now I’m ready to move forward with this speech. What is the topic, […]
Quiet Please—I’m Plotting Your Demise: How Real Life Brews Fictional Deaths!
“Because sometimes inspiration screams from the next table over.”Hello and happy midweek! I’ve been on a strange — and warped, as it may sound — morbid writing quest. I’m working on Dating Die-Sasters again and I’ve been rewriting some of my characters. I’ve started with some of the death scenes. Some of you may remember […]
Organized Chaos: Momentum in the Making
Before It Begins – Again😎 Happy Sunday! Today is kind of a down day for me. On Friday, I actually sent an email and an NDA for upcoming projects, along with three chapters of Dangerous Desires, to a publishing company (fingers crossed). I would love to have an agent and publisher for all of my […]
Turning the Page: What’s Next on My Writing Journey
What’s Next! Dangerous Desires is officially out and available on Amazon (paperback and Kindle)! The Southern Festival of Books this past Sunday was okay, but I think the weather played a big part in keeping people away. One of the nearby booths even closed up hours early. Between the rain and the wind, it turned […]
Publishing Pains to Fulfillment: When Everything Goes Wrong but Turns Out Right
Time Flew Today!  I can’t believe it’s Wednesday — almost midnight already! So many things have happened since Sunday. First, my book finally went live yesterday on Amazon — both the eBook and paperback! Getting this one published was one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever dealt with. It felt almost like something, […]
