  • The Face Behind the Keyboard

  • Upswings of life

    Full disclosure- I’m writing this on my mobile phone. It’s clunky and autocorrect is behind the corner ready to gossip inappropriately (her game of telephone.) I took a calculated risk in my life last weekend, and it paid off. I let myself get wrapped up in the current of life and I am glad I…

  • Logical and Abstract

    I know what I said in a previous post about writing several simultaneous things at once, and that I would be focusing on one thing at a time. While I was working towards my art degree in college I spent a lot of time in the painting studio. My professor was an avid painter who…

  • Aspiring Authors and Imposter Syndrome

    Imposter!  That’s what the negative voice in your head says to you any time you try to explain something about the writing profession. I have a secret for you… It will never go away.  Why? Because knowing you do not have all the answers is a healthy mindset.  If you think you know everything about…

  • Bullet journals for writers 

    So, what is this new-fangled domahicky?!?  Okay, it’s not terribly new, but I have found it to be an asset to help me with my writing, and it just may have the ability to help you out too! So, here is a picture of my personal bullet journal with my daily analog planner ( I’m…

  • Beware of Wallowing

    I gave some advice earlier to not let someone wallow in the sadness of their situation. I woke up three times in an hour and realized I spent my day off in bed doing just that. That’s when it hit me. These past few days I have noticed my mood declining. Suspiciously- When I stopped…

  • I didn’t forget

    I know it seems like I have been slacking in my promise to you guys. Unfortunately, my day job requires the most out of me this week, so my posts will be spotty. Daily posts will resume next week on schedule.

  • Progress

    Ok. Query Letter Draft 1 is complete. I will let it sit for a few days until I can look at it with fresh eyes. My marriage has officially ended, and the healing can finally begin ( for both of us). All that is left is the official filing of paperwork. Only thing stopping that…
