Where I Went in November

Posted on December 2, 2014December 1, 2014

If it seemed like I didn’t blog much in November, it’s because I didn’t. At all. At the end of October I went on a lovely vacation with my mom and grandma to Florida. When I got back, I jumped head-first into November and NaNoWriMo. 30 days. 50,000 words. Go. Don’t know what NaNo is?…

Writing 101: Write What You Know?

Posted on October 3, 2014

Do you remember the first piece of writing advise you were ever given? I do. “Write what you know.” And, I do understand the point. The blank page can be scary. It can be intimidating and frustrating and feel like there is so much to do. It can be overwhelming, so someone told me to…

Adventures in Writing

Posted on October 1, 2014

I’m usually, at best, a sporadic blogger. I have the best of intentions, but those seem to fall by the wayside as my real, and very busy, life takes over. Then, I get discouraged because I haven’t created the online community I dream of having and I feel like no one reads my blog. so….I’ve…

Blog Hop: The Writer In Me

Posted on July 25, 2014

(WordPress doesn’t want me to do this. It ate this entry twice). I haven’t done a blog hop in awhile, but when Amy asked me to join her for this one, I, of course, had to say yes. It’s all about writing, being a writer, and the writing process 🙂 So here are the questions:…

Being The Easy Friend

Posted on February 13, 2014

For years, I have struggled with the simply complicated definition of friendship. Throughout my life I have been blessed with wonderful friends, some that I still talk to regularly and some that, if I’m honest, I cannot quite remember their names. Friendship, is a tricky thing, especially as I get older. I remember the days…

Time to Confess

Posted on January 21, 2014

    It seems almost funny and fitting that the challenge issued as part of the 500 Words a Day challenge today is about confessing something. I wanted to just start writing again without addressing the “elephant” in my writing-world, but that was obviously not to be. So, here is what I am confessing: I…

500 Words a Day…Challenge Update

Posted on January 9, 2014

It sounded so easy. 500 words a day. Given how quickly I tend to write, especially first drafts, this was not a huge commitment. At least I didn’t think so. The reality, however, nine days in, is very different. So, today’s blog post is dedicated to the four big expectations versus reality moments of this…

When Words Won’t Come…

Posted on January 8, 2014

There are days, even now, when the words just don’t want to come. I look at the blank page for hours, back and forth, wondering what to say, wondering what will matter. I open blog posts and write challenging topics that I think will inspire me and my readers. And they sit here, staring at…
