That’s a good question, because dude…sometimes motivation is hard. Really hard In all truth…I’m motivated by deadlines. Hard deadlines. The kind I can shove back and delay don’t really do it for me. I need something firm, with serious consequences if I don’t finish the project. Also, I’m motivated by the story. If it’s something […]
When I was writing Surfacing, I had to create a playlist to help drown out everything else so I could finish the damn book. And this week, on Wednesday Randomness, we just happen to be talking about playlists, so I’m going to share this one! It’s called: Music to Finish this Fucking Book Why, yes…I […]
This week’s topic is Summer Memories, so let’s see… First off, I should say that I’m not really a summer kinda girl. I’m all about spring and autumn. Mostly, I just hate hot, humid weather, and here, in Michigan, that happens pretty regularly. However, I’ve always loved when my kids were home on summer break […]
This is my current super power. As you can see, it helps no one. But if I could choose a super power, it would be the ability to travel wherever I wanted without the use of planes, trains or automobiles. Just *poof* and I’d be there. Me, my luggage, my friends and family – just […]
Okay, I’m guessing I just can’t say ALL THE FOOD and be done with it. These aren’t things I indulge in everyday, for obvious reasons. But they’re things I love. Cheese. I. Love. Cheese. Goat cheese, gouda, smoked gouda sharp cheddar, feta, blue, asiago, brie, string, provolone, camenbert – all the cheese. BRING IT. (And […]

I’m gonna warn you, if you’re hoping for whimsical, you’re probably not going to find it here, because if I had a million bucks, some damn practical things would happen. Which, to be fair, […]
This week’s topic for the Random Wednesday bloggers is “What I Need to Write.” The answer is…not that much. For instance, I need: My computer. I *can* write longhand, but I compose more quickly on my laptop, so that’s a must have. A seat along a wall. I have a very difficult time working if […]
It’s time for another installment of “A Few of Our Favorite Things” and this month, it’s movies! I’m going to limit this post to ten movies, otherwise, we’ll be here all damn day, and I have shit to do. These are just a few of my favorite movies off the top of my head and […]
Everyone gets stressed out. If they don’t, I want to know who they are so I can stalk them and learn their secrets. I really do try not to sweat the small stuff. I used to flip out about every little thing. All the time. It was exhausting. I eventually got to the point where […]
This week, we’re talking about the shit jobs we’ve had prior to becoming writers. I’ve had some pretty shitacular jobs. Not as many or as bad as a lot of people have had, but they’ve all been things I chose not to make a career of. I was a: Waitress at a restaurant where the […]
