Coffee On The Porch…
If there's anything I've missed posting on Instagram, it's coffee. It should've been books, right? I'm a writer, after all. But I didn't talk a lot about writing and when I was uber prolific when I started out more than 10 years ago, I didn't talk a lot about it...
Some Updates and Thoughts
Earlier this year I read a book called Deep Work by Cal Newport. I loved it so much that I decided to read another of his books, Digital Minimalism. I'm still in the process of that one, but so far, I'm loving it, too. I know productivity gets a bad rap, but I love...
Ho-Ho-Ho
So, I'm sitting at my desk... A Balsam & Cedar candle burning, a little 100 year old ceramic Christmas tree lit, and a Hallmark Christmas movie (Two Turtle Doves) on in the background. And I thought maybe now would be a good time to show y'all the cover for one of...
Coffee On The Porch…
I started a little series on Instagram called Coffee on the porch... And it's exactly as it sounds. I took pictures of coffee on my back porch over looking the pond, the trees, the mountains in the distance, and sometimes even cows from the neighboring farm were in...
Hi! Again…
Have you missed me? I've missed me. However, I've sorta found me. Back in December we moved from Charlotte, North Carolina about 100 miles southwest to a small area between Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina called Greer. I have a view of mountains outside the...
So, I had a new release…
That's it to the left. And here's where you can buy it... And... I suck at marketing. But I love the book. And...
Life, Change, and Writing
In the midst of this pandemic so many lives have been turned upside down. People have been thrust into new ways of living, existing, coping. I haven't. My life hasn't changed much because being home, working from home, homeschooling was my life and to a point, still...
I Suck At Endings
And coming from a romance author, that's kinda...well, not a good thing, is it? My story endings tend to be more Happy For Now rather than Happily Ever After. I've tried writing HEA's but they don't feel genuine to me. That, too, coming from a romance author isn't a...
Let’s Go To The Movies…
Actually, let's don't and say we did. Please stay home, stay well, help keep others well, too. But... We can watch movies and from everything I've seen online over the last few weeks, people have definitely been watching movies and television shows and streaming the...
I Wanted To Be A Planner Person…
...but I've learned that planners don't work for me. I read a book recently, Dear Writer, You Need To Quit by Becca Syme. It was great and it gave me a lot to think about. One of the things was a process the author calls QTP or Question The Premise. This is a tool to...
