Yeah…this week’s topic? This is pretty much how I’m feeling about it. And also this. And some of this. With a whole lotta this. Okay, so it may not be apparent, but I’m having a little trouble with the whole concept of balance. I don’t feel like any area of my life is anywhere near […]

Right now, I admit, I’m having a harder time than usual feeling thankful–which isn’t to say that I don’t have anything to be thankful for, but it’s harder to push through the clouds of fear and dread sounding this country and my family and friends. But in spite of all this, I’m thankful for so […]
First off, I want to thank J of the Tumbling Words blog for this lovely blogging award. And I apologize for taking so long to put up my post. I’ll be posting the rules and nominating some people after I answer the questions from Tumbling Words. Who is your favourite book character and why? This […]
My stress levels, so far this year, have been a bit on the high side, so I really, really needed this year’s writing retreat. Honestly, I think we’ve all been in super high stress mode. We all needed this break. I didn’t get as much written as I would have liked, but I did get some written […]
So…yeah…about this week’s blog post…it’s not happening. I’m currently 521 miles from home on our annual writing retreat with Jessica Jarman, Jenny Trout, Kris Norris, Kayleigh Jones, and Kellie St. James. We’ve run away to the land of no internet connection and sketchy to no cell phone service. However, we’ll be getting a lot of […]
Okay, so as usual, I’m not following the rules. If you’ve been here for any length of time, you are unsurprised, I’m sure. This is a collection of images that I find funny. With a little explanation. Jenny Trout outside the bar in the small town of Gay, MI which is near where we hold […]
Today’s topic is pretty clear from the title. Within the last couple years, I’ve tackled a couple genres I’d always wanted to write but held myself back from for various reasons. One genre was young adult. I wasn’t sure I could write it “authentically”. But I’m pleased with how it turned out. I just need […]
Boooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkksssssss! There are so many books that I’m nostalgic about, and if you’ve hung around this blog for a while, I’m sure some of these will be familiar. But, if not, here are a few books that give me the book feels. First, we have Where the Wild Things Are. I read this book so often […]
Content Warning: Assault Dear Past Me, It’s Future You, and we need to talk. Basically, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Let’s start with the good. You know that asshat guy in study hall? The one with the pretty green eyes who keeps trying to toss Red Hots candies down your cleavage? […]
As per usual, my Wordless Wednesday has words. Just a few. There are a lot of things that make me sad. A fuck of a lot, really. But this pretty much makes me the saddest. This picture was taken around the autumn/winter of 1997. On the left is my nephew, Zane. On the right is […]
