This is my August post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I’ve had a long summer and not so much in a good way. Well, okay, mostly in a good way. Right now, though, I’m mentally stuck on the fact that my father is in the hospital – again – because he fell and couldn’t […]

Amanda McKinnon, age 90, used to give out candy to all the kids in the neighborhood. In exchange, all she ever asked was polite conversation and company. Then, the […]
Today is the first Wednesday of the month, and that means IWSG Day! It’s a chance for writers to talk about our insecurities, triumphs, and momentary hurdles on the way to triumph. This month, the main thing going on in my life is that I’ve finally broken down and very quickly (it all happened so […]
May 1st happens to be on a Wednesday this year, so that means it’s IWSG Day AND May Day at the same time. I’m a writer, so language fascinates me – and I get easily sidetracked by it. May Day is one of those funny language things where two words have so many different meanings […]
April 3 question: If you could use a wish to help you write just ONE scene/chapter of your book, which one would it be? It’s IWSG Day and that means time to share another milepost along the writing journey. What part of my book would I like to be able to write via magic wish? […]

It’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means IWSG Day and I missed last month because I was really sick at the time, like serious chest cold sick. Speaking of chest cold, I always get fall/winter allergies, but this past winter has been killer for me, in large part because of the up […]
Snow Globe Life Looking out at you, I know you don’t see me, and that’s fine. My smile never ends, my feet forever frozen mid-twirl on the faux-ice in a make-believe rink. Long ago, months ago, you last shook my world, raining tiny grains of white. When you first got me, I was the shiny […]
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means another IWSG Day! In the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, we get together (at least) once a month to exchange stories along the writing journey. This month’s optional question asks us what five things we have in our writing space. For me, there are just a […]
