IWSG: Holiday Time

December 7 question – It’s holiday time! Are the holidays a time to catch up or fall behind on writer goals? Happy December and Happy IWSG Day! This past year has been a pretty crazy one for me. Back to full-time, in person at my library job and back to trying to figure out what […]

IWSG: Writing Woes

Here is my September post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. In a bit of a slump at the moment but I know that will turn around in due time…. I’ve really been neglecting my blog lately due to getting really busy the past few months. My writing has suffered as a result. A lot […]

IWSG: My Ideal Book World

July 6 question – If you could live in any book world, which one would you choose? I just finished a book called Legends & Lattes, this heartwarming found-family book that got me – bam – right in the heartstrings. Man, I would love to live in that world. Sure, the MC has some issues […]

IWSG: May the 4th Be With You

Here in the U.S., this is a dark day for democracy and for women. I was actually having a rough time anyway, one of those times when I’m like okay done with all of this. And now, I just want to say that today is a dark day for democracy and women. If you don’t […]

A-Z Theme Reveal: Ace Love Stories

For A to Z this year, I’m going to be posting love stories, but not just ANY kind of love story. These will be about everything EXCEPT what we (in my opinion all too often) think of as “love stories”: straight, heteronormative boy-girl together forever love stories. Nothing wrong with that! But I want to […]

Happy IWSG Day! And, thanks to this month’s co-hosts: Joylene Nowell Butler, Jacqui Murray, Sandra Cox, and Lee Lowery! February 2 question – Is there someone who supported or influenced you that perhaps isn’t around anymore? Anyone you miss? Someone recently asked me a similar question, and instantly I thought, yeah Thomas Aquinas. Is there anyone else? I met […]

IWSG: Endings

December 1 question – In your writing, what stresses you the most? What delights you? When I first read this question, I was working on the ending of my NaNo novel (I just typed THE END about 30 minutes ago and am coming up for air.) One of my favorite authors Saint Paul the Apostle […]
