Dag Gone It – I Missed Sunday!
I missed Sunday’s posting, as you already know. My sweetheart was sick most of last week and throughout the weekend. And guess who got it? Yep, me. I wasn’t nearly as sick as he was, but I’m still feeling off. I was told there is a new virus going around that starts with a dry […]

Ringing In The 2025 New Year and New Goals
Hello and Happy Holidays, Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and was able to be with loved ones.

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 […]

Where Did the Time Go… Reflections of a Week with Tears and Gratitude
I can’t believe how fast the weekend and today got away from me. With it speeding by so quickly, I missed posting my Sunday blog. I apologize for missing yesterday’s timeline. This past week was a bit emotional in a few different ways. First, in class, we are working on creative non-fiction writing. This, for […]
Writer’s Block and How I Do or Do Not Deal – Part 2
This week I’ve been dealing with feeling overwhelmed about which project to work on first. I have several books started, creative writing homework, art projects, and I’m putting together a YouTube channel with my sister. Hair-pulling to follow… I’m thrilled to have so many things to do, but… when I get overwhelmed (even with good […]
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. When you are in the grips of Writer’s Block, or as I like to say, you’ve been bitten by the Procrastination bug, you might get caught up in […]
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 […]
