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 […]
Scottish Spirit, Smoky Mountain Smiles, and Tender Moments With A Fur-Baby
Hello and Happy Almost Thursday! I completely lost track of time today and almost missed writing to you. I woke up sore from my time at the gym yesterday. First time in years—and I definitely felt it this morning. The day started with taking one of my fur-babies, Tex, to the vet. He hasn’t been […]
From Research Trip to Story Inspiration: My Visit to the Dismal Swamp 🐸
This past week, I had the chance to explore the Dismal Swamp, and let me tell you—it was absolutely fascinating. Part of my reason for going was to begin focusing on my Dating Die-Sasters characters, and I came back with more inspiration than I expected. I also came back with a ton of photos, pamphlets, […]
Travel, Inspiration, and the Stories Yet to Come 🧳 📚
Hello and Happy Wednesday! I returned home from my trip yesterday evening, and while I’m glad to be back, I wish I had a few more days in each location. Philadelphia – A City of History and Hustle Philly was fascinating! Its history is rich and beautiful, but I’ll admit—I didn’t explore as much as […]
Overpacked but Inspired: A Writer’s Travel Diary 🧳
How a road trip turned into a crash course in minimalism (and creativity!) I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! I’m currently tucked away in the quiet area of the hotel lobby, working on Dating Die-Sasters, socializing, writing this post, and waiting for my friend to return from the conference. Today is the last […]
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 […]
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 […]
Looking Back, Living Forward!🦋
What Would Your Younger You Think of You Now? The other night, I was watching a show where the four main female characters looked back at their teenage selves and how they had handled a situation. Their adult selves were dealing with a similar experience, which brought about the remembrance scene. They came to realize […]
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 […]
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, […]
