There are somethings going on with me that have really tossed my plans around; therefore, I’ve been struggling to get writing done and I feel like I need to get out of my own head. So, I’m sending out a calling card. I would love to do some collaborative writing exercises with someone. I thoughtContinue reading “Writing Collaboration”

Reading the Red Wedding
This blog will contain spoilers, for George R.R. Martin’s Storm of Swords. So if you’re one of those weirdos, like my husband, who has not read or watched this series then stop reading blogs and pick up these books. I’m down for reading dark subject matter and A Song of Ice and Fire has a strongContinue reading “Reading the Red Wedding “
I Need Your Opinion.
As I’ve mentioned, I’m writing a romance and mystery novel. But I’m also editing the prequel to that romance novel. I wrote all of these with multiple POV (points of view.) These POV switch within chapter and I continue to receive the critique that it is “jarring.” I like switching among characters, because then theContinue reading “I Need Your Opinion. “
In My Internet Travels
I follow Writerish Ramblings by Kristi S. Simpson. She gets daily prompts from StoryADay.org and writes these fun stories. And I would like to do the one from today. The prompt is below and my story follows. Prompt: Visibly Invisible Today’s prompt is about the inner self of your character trying to break out, to beContinue reading “In My Internet Travels”
It’s Not That Hard
So Writer’s Block is a real thing. For about two weeks now, I have sat down at my computer and stared at the screen until my eyes are bleeding out of my head and nothing happens. No words on the page. My process is to work on two different stories at once. I write onContinue reading “It’s Not That Hard”

I’m wishing I could go back and visit those moments when life was open to us. If I could goContinue reading “Flash Fiction: Forsaking and Gathering”
An Ode to the Adolescent Years and the Romance Novels that got Me Through Them
I cringe when I think how young I was when I started reading romance novels. A combination of a love of the written word and hormones threw me into the embrace of steamy books full of leading men and dramatic women. It may not be exceptionally unusual that I was around 13 when I pickedContinue reading “An Ode to the Adolescent Years and the Romance Novels that got Me Through Them”
Assigned Reading
Assigned reading was the worst at times, but mostly because I don’t like to be told what to do, especially when it comes to activities I enjoy. When I look back on the books I read for school, I appreciated most of them. There were the classics here or there that I didn’t connect to,Continue reading “Assigned Reading”
A Reader is Born
My mom read somewhere that if you read bedtime stories to your kids every night they will always feel they can come to you for help. That sitting on the edge of your kid’s bed with a book shared between you, builds intimacy. I can’t speak for everyone, but in my case it worked. IContinue reading “A Reader is Born”
