True Confessions

I have a confession to make-I hate winter. All too often it is cold, wet, and grey. Don’t get me wrong, a day here or there of that weather is fine. Just not four solid months of it. Winter is one of the reasons why I continue to live in the deep South. We don’t…

New Year, New Book

Happy New Year! In my last blog post, I wrote about needing to refill my creative well. I took December and tried really hard to focus on self-care and nurturing my creative side. The well isn’t completely full, but neither is it bone dry anymore.             Right after University classes ended in December, Mom and…

The Dry Well

I had every intention of participating in NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month) this year. My template was loaded into Scrivener and I had a brand new legal pad plus new pens ready. I had even used the two weeks after sending off Under the Harvest Moon to the publisher jotting down notes and plot points.…

I was so excited back…

It was exhausting. With regards to the Quik Med visit, I am fine but my mother has bronchitis and strep.…

Breaking the Block

Last spring and into the summer-during the height of the pandemic- I had readers block. Nothing interested me or held my attention. Please understand this is not a comment on the quality of what I was trying to read. The stuff was good but my head was NOT there. Headspace by J.D. Edwin was the…

Happy Reading!

Last week, I ran away to the beach. I do this as often as I can, although not nearly as often as I’d like. If I had my way, I’d never leave. While hiding under an umbrella and 100 SPF sunscreen (I burn so easily), I engaged in one of my favorite activities—reading so much…
