I Didn’t Win NaNoWriMo, But…
...I did write throughout the month of November. And for the first time in all the years I've been doing NaNoWriMo, I am not beating myself up for not winning. I am not talking bad about myself to myself for not reaching 50,000 words. I started 3 different stories in...
Well, Bless Your Heart
I love those words. But it makes sense, doesn't it? I love them because I'm a Southern girl. Southern woman. I was born in the South and will likely die in the South... Unless, of course, I find out I'm a long lost relative of a Duke in England somewhere and I've been...
Slow Write
As I was thinking about what to title this post, the song Slow Ride by Foghat kept popping into my head for some reason, but the words kind of sounded the same and so, Slow Write became the title. The song starts out... Slow Ride, Take It Easy... And that's the...
Happy National Novel Writing Month!
Please hold me!!! Nah... I've got this. Maybe. I've never won NaNoWriMo. I've never even come close. I usually give up and try to figure something else out and then get lost in baking and cooking for Thanksgiving and never look back, only come December to feel like a...
Sometimes Those Who Wander…
...Really Are Freakin' Lost! I was laying in bed this morning. It was warm and I didn't want to get up yet so I broke my own rule and opened up Candy Crush. I usually don't do that. I've been trying to revamp my mornings and help my brain function a little more clear...
Hi! I miss you…
It's been a minute, yeah? More like thousands of minutes. It's hard to write bogs or social media posts and think or believe or whatever that no one is reading them. Hell, it's hard to write books and think or believe or whatever that no one will buy them, but that's...
Grounds and Hounds
I follow a lot of coffee companies and coffee shops on Instagram. We all know this isn't a surprise, right? Well, this company, Grounds and Hounds came across my feed one day as an ad because every site tracks every little thing. I was curious, as one would be who...
Black Mountain, North Carolina
The day after Christmas, the spouse and I took a road trip to Black Mountain, North Carolina for research. I had been studying the area a bit online and through social media as a possible setting for the relocation of my (former) Black and White series of bear...
Adagio Teas
It's the first full week of January 2019. I'm still finishing up the Holiday Blend K-cups from Peets Coffee and Starbuck's Christmas Blend. I'm on that last of both of those and I can't wait to get into the next pound of coffee beans that I have from a company I found...
Food Posts Coming Your Way
You may not want them and I totally get that. Then again, maybe you'll enjoy them again. The truth is, I love food. I love being in the kitchen. I love to bake, to cook... Every so often I even like going grocery shopping. One of the things I've always wanted to do is...
