Rest, Frustration, and a Much-Needed Booty Kick!
Today has been a day of procrastination. Yesterday, I had a cortisone injection in my neck to hopefully help with a pinched nerve and ease some of the pain and discomfort I’ve been dealing with in several areas of my body. They told me to rest… and I did. Honestly, I kind of still am. […]
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 […]
Never Too Old to Hit Reset: From “Holy Crap” to Healthy
Happy Sunday! Well, I did it—I officially started a TikTok account! It’s been interesting so far. I’ve only posted a few pictures, a text link to my website, and (believe it or not) a quick disclaimer that I’m not looking for dates. That part made me laugh, but we won’t dive into that right now. […]
The Space Between Draft and Done
What’s Next? Recently, my Sweetheart asked, “What are you going to do next while Dangerous Desires is being reviewed?” I smiled because… it’s happening. The rough draft of Dangerous Desires is finally finished, and it will be sent to Beta Readers later today. It’s hard to believe my first novel is only a few steps […]
When You’re the One You Can’t Let Down🦋
A Midweek Check-In with My Writer Self Happy Wednesday, all you Lovely Souls! I did it! What did I do? I put my phone down and left the house to get some work done. I’ve been saying I was going to start going somewhere other than the house to work on my novel — or […]
✨ Keep Your Word (Especially to Yourself)
The day completely slipped away from me. The past few days have been filled with organizing and cleaning, and this evening, I finally sat down to check emails and do a little editing. But as so often happens, I got distracted… then had an appointment… and then—CRAP! I realized I hadn’t written today’s blog post. […]
Your Dreams Don’t Expire—They’re Just Waiting for You to Take the First Step🤔👟🥿🥾👠🩴🙃
When writing my Sunday blog, there was something I didn’t mention—or maybe I left it out on purpose so I could save it for today 🤷🏼♀️… That is: Age should not matter when bringing dreams to life. We may not have as much time to get things done as we once did, and we may […]
Off-Kilter: A Slightly Sideways Week
Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a great week. I’m personally at a slight loss for today’s article. My timing has been a bit off today, too. Why? I have no idea. Some days we just need to stop and take a break. I didn’t really rest this past weekend; in fact, I did […]
From Chaos to Creativity: Easter, Art, Writing, and a Wild Week Ahead🎨🤪
Hello and Happy Easter, My Friends! Easter, like Christmas, brings to mind thoughts of fun with friends and family, celebrations, and of course, the religious images many of us were brought up to believe in — a day of rest and time with loved ones. For me, it started off extremely slow. I overslept (not […]
Beware the Rabbit Hole: Procrastination at Its Finest
I’ve been down a rabbit hole most of the day today—watching everything from funny animal videos to paranormal stories, positive affirmations, disasters, and so much more. I allowed myself to fall into the quicksand trap of mindless videos. It wouldn’t be so bad, except I have goals and a deadline to meet. Spending several hours […]
