Manuscript Update – A Memoir.

Manuscript Update – A Memoir.

You've probably heard it said before right, you know the line -- Find something you're passionate about that will get you out of bed of a morning. I haven't had those kind of feels for sometime, it's really been just work, work, and yep, work. Family always bring me joy, but I needed something more. [...]

What’s it like writing a manuscript for a book?

That's a big question! Before answering that- Welcome back! After closing the blog for three or so days, it's nice to be back with you. I missed everyone. But I did stick by my promise, I spent very little time on social, and virtually no time in wordpres. I read a few tweets and comments [...]

This NaNoWriMo thing? Yeah, about that!

This NaNoWriMo thing? Yeah, about that!

An emotional rollercoaster. At times needing to hold back tears, other times, smiles. One chapter down and beginning the next. But what a feeling. Writing to me has been an unsual activity that's comparable to looking up one day while waiting in line at a café and seeing love at first sight from the person [...]

Dear Journal, I'm getting awfully good at these spring time BBQs. Sweet Baby Rays Buffalo Wing Sauce on the chicken went down like a treat this afternoon. A Christmas Ginger Bread Man awaits for desert. Little Everly is sleeping longer through the nights lately. A little unsettled today but all the more sweet. She likes [...]

Goodbye, #blogtober. Hello, NaNoWriMo.

I'm going to keep this one short, and sweet. I've expressed so much gratitude over the last few days to all of my readers. And I'm feeling content. You've made the last 31 consecutive days of blogging an absolute blast. It's been the most fullfilling month of blogging for me. I'm grateful for that. For [...]

I’m doing NaNoWriMo, as a rebel, differently.

I’m doing NaNoWriMo, as a rebel, differently.

What's the difference between a pronoun, a grapheme, and a consonant? I have absolutely no idea! In fact, I even had to look up how to spell 'consonant' as I thought it was spelt *constenant. This is what I most love about writing, particularly today; the fact that one can write any way they so [...]

Another one for the collection. This one was on order. I anticipate @emiliewapnick has written a solid piece here. Thanks to the peeps at @harryhartogbookseller for this one.
#Selfie game is strong today. (P.S. Not my camera, wish it was, this is a real beauty.)
Something a little fun; here's a video behind the writer. I grabbed my camera for a week and followed myself around. I write, work, and watch my car get written off by hail. Let me know what you think 🤓 Link in bio.
I want to be open about a few things, I've got no guilt, you'll see why, but still, I'm being honest ❤️. Like in bio 👀
