    Remember that song? If you do, then you’re probably a “Boomer”! Written for the opera “Porgy and Bess” – which is a good story by the way. Per Wikipedia. “Gershwin began composing the song in December 1933, attempting to create his own spiritual in the style of the African American folk music of the period.[5][6]…

    Came across a great article submitted to Wisconsin Christian News by someone named Chris McMahan. In a nutshell, he reminds Christians of the following verse: 2 Chronicles 7:14 (English Standard Version) if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then…

    Definitely feel like this sometimes! I should be wrapping up my client work right now, but I’ve got a stubborn two year old living inside of me that doesn’t want to. lol I’d rather be writing fiction, knitting the scrap blanket that’s a work in progress (WIP) or cruising blogs, reading what other people are…

        It’s been WAY TOO LONG since I’ve visited my poor little blog…much too long. I’m sorry to say I’ve not written much fiction and I’m letting the nonfiction work for clients consume too much of my time. It’s honestly a time management issue on my part, so that means it’s up to me…

      A novel I’ve been working on for a couple of years is refusing to die. The story is so strong in my mind that it keeps reminding me that it’s waiting for me. So, tonight I plan to pull the story out, dust it off (figuratively speaking, it’s in bits and bytes, lol) and…

    Why, oh why do I always cry? I see a sappy commercial, here come the tears… Watch a movie…tears. That is, unless it’s a drama or something else. But one of the times I seem to cry the hardest is when I listen to worship music. I’ve been in a charismatic church before when suddenly…

    Time management is my achilles heel. I struggle with it, always have struggled with it. I’m frustrated that I don’t have enough time to do what I want to do (write fiction) yet thankful that I can make a living doing what I do (write nonfiction)! It’s the proverbial grass is greener on the other…

    Yeah!! Spring has finally arrived! We’re in the 60s now, birds are singing, flowers are growing and even the frogs are croaking! Earlier this week we bought a boat. It’s not a new one, but who cares. It’s for fishing. I’m not really a fish eater…that’s the hubs…but I do enjoy getting out on the…

      Finally! Wrapped up the 13,000 word short story and put it up on Amazon KDP Select. We’ll see how it goes. Next up…Children of Disobedience: A Witch Killer Story. I plan to make it the prequel to Children of Wrath, but we’ll see where the ol’ noggin takes me once I get started. The…

          Yeah!! Yesterday I wrapped up The Rot…FINALLY! Yeah! What was – I thought – supposed to be a short story ended up being a short novella, around 13,000 words. So far, this is the longest story I’ve written…which is a good thing actually, because I do want to write novels as well as…
