Several years ago I abandoned the New Year's resolution attempts for New Year's goals. And three years ago I abandoned New Year's goals for My One Word.

And This…
...is what I did this morning. Camp NaNo 2014 complete. What a great feeling it is. And with that, I think I'll just sit and enjoy the view for the rest of the day. Though I have to admit, I'm already looking forward to camp next year. 🙂
Why Do You Write?
Sandi Ault, author of the bestselling, award-winning WILD Mystery Series, was one of the presenters at the Northern Colorado Writer's Conference I attended this past March, and one of her sessions was called Writing for Love, Prestige, or Profit.

In her honor, here are ten of my favorite quotes by her: 10. "You… Continue reading Farewell to a Phenomenal Woman
“Q” is for…
I love quotes! They contain so much wisdom, motivation and inspiration in so few words.

My Top Ten: 10.) Always follow the golden rule--Treat others as you would like to be treated. 9.) Be what you want to be, not what someone else wants you to be. 8.)

Dictionary.com defines "Faithful" as such: faith·ful /ˈfeɪθfəl/ Show Spelled [feyth-fuhl] Show IPA adjective… Continue reading “F” is for…
“E” is for…
Edit. “I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.” ― Shannon Hale That four letter word that I actually enjoy.
