Oh, how I’ve missed you!
Yes, I’m still alive. And well! But a little sad, perhaps too, although I probably shouldn’t be. Why, dear friend, would I be sad? Because I’ve decided to focus more of my time and effort into the other part of my writing life, which is the non-fiction side of things. Also known as “copywriting” or…

Balancing Act
Still working on the balancing act of getting the writing done and the client work done. I have several stories in a range of completion, so didn’t need to start the most recent one…but I did, lol. I told myself I want to try my hand at a romance short story. But so far, it’s…

Honor Your Writing Process
Do you honor your writing process? I know it’s something I have struggled with (and if I’m being honest here, it’s something I still sometimes struggle with). Writing is such an individual experience. We can learn lots of tips and bits of advice for getting the story out of our heads and onto the paper,…
