Ready or Not, 2025 Is Upon Us!

Happy New Year! Remember when we were rolling up on 2000 (Y2K) and we were sure the world was going to end? Or was that just me?

Resistance, the Antimuse

Resistance can manifest itself in so many ways. Some of the causes are more obvious: Self-doubt; negative self-talk; perfectionism; fear of failure, success--yes, that's a real thing--of risk, of rejection, of criticism, of judgement...

What If?

There are a few books that I have read/listened to over and over and over. And each time, I pick up something I missed the time before, positive it wasn't there the last time I read it; I was sure the book goblins added it to the page and reshelved it in my bookcase, or… Continue reading What If?

Q4 of 2024 is Knocking at the Door!

Hello, my name is Rhonda and I'm a planaholic. Q4 of 2024 is mere days away, and one of my goals is to read three books per month, one non-fiction and two fiction.

Back to Routine–Day 4

I'm on day 4 of back to my writing routine after taking most of the summer off. That said, I didn't really take it "off," but deviated from my usual routine... okay, I completely abandoned my routine. There, I said it.

Summertime…What Does it Mean to You?

What do your summers look like? Structured? Loosey-goosey? In the past, I've allowed myself more downtime during the summer months, yet held a "loose" schedule. But as much as I love summer, I decided to give myself a break this year and fly by the seat of my pants, enjoying each day as each moment unfolds.… Continue reading Summertime…What Does it Mean to You?

Smashwords Annual Summer/Winter Sale!

It's so hard to believe that there are only four days left in June! When I was younger, I poo-pooed the saying "Time goes faster as you get older."

Summertime Funtime

What a fun beginning to summer. Okay, so summer hasn't "officially" started yet, but we don't need a calendar to tell us when to begin the season, do we? To be honest, I'm usually enjoying the newness of every season before its "official" start. ๐Ÿ™‚ Last Friday I took part in a Literary Circus. Talk… Continue reading Summertime Funtime
