My husband and I went on our first vacation in three years (other than visiting family). Destination? Taos, New Mexico. Between the arts and the history, it fed both of our interests.

NaNoWriMo 2013
NaNoWriMo is over for this year, and I reached my goal of winning--two years in a row.

But truth be told, some days I just simply don't feel like writing. And from reading what other writers have to say, I'm not alone in that… Continue reading When I Just Don’t Feel Like Writing
Thankful Thursday -The Smallest Hope
Recently I was laid up with an unexpected illness, accompanied by a level of pain I can't ever remember experiencing. On the third day I woke feeling relieved of the pain.
