We’re now well into the third week of NaNoWriMo and I’m still hanging on by a thread. Life took some twists and turns the past week and I was barely squeaking in my word count. But what’s most important is I am hanging in there. I’m nothing if not stubborn and determined. Haha! I even… Continue reading Week 3 of NaNoWriMo

Book in a Day
Last week was perhaps one of the busiest weeks I've had in a long time, in large part due to Crime Victims' Rights week (more on that next week), causing me to fall a bit behind on my Camp NaNo hourly goal. Nothing I can't make up, though. And Saturday's all-day event made it worth… Continue reading Book in a Day
Ready to Roll
We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden. —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Have you ever declared some time off, regardless of what other people think or do? It's called being true to yourself and is one of the best things you can do for yourself and everyone else… Continue reading Ready to Roll
Writing Goals
Nowhere does it say goals need to be set in January. In fact, it's never too late to set goals. After all, today is the first day of the rest of your life. I spent some time this weekend reviewing my writing accomplishments from the past year and made some goals for 2019. What… Continue reading Writing Goals
Writing Communities
For a writer, deciding to belong to a community of other writers will be one of the best choices you make. Writers understand other writers and the struggles we all go through like no one else can.

Why Do You Write?

“J” is for…
The Journey Remember when you were a kid and road trips seemed to last forever? I used to sound like a broken record as I asked my parents "How much longer 'till we're therrrre?" Complete with all the drama I could muster. And as the years passed, I eagerly awaited each milestone. "I can't wait 'till… Continue reading “J” is for…
Calm Before the Storm
Since I was at the NCW Writers Conference--which was amazing, by the way--and using every molecule of brain power trying to absorb everything I could, I didn't post my last usual Gratitude Friday and Weekend Quote posts. But rest assured, tomorrow begins April and the A-Z Blogging Challenge, for 26 posts in 30 days. God… Continue reading Calm Before the Storm
A Writer’s Heaven
I've been waiting for this weekend since about this same time one year ago. Why, you ask? If you didn't, I'll tell you anyway. 🙂 It's my second NCW writer's conference, and it's less than three days away. The first one gave me so much - ideas, motivation, inspiration, new writing friends, and time to re-evaluate the… Continue reading A Writer’s Heaven
