    Yep. My current WIP, In His Name is at about 10,000+ words now. I do believe it’s the longest story I’ve written so far and I’m nowhere near finished with the telling of it. In fact, I’m thinking it’s probably going to end up being about the size of a novel. So, considering the time…

    Hey blog…sending you some love… So where have I been? Well, I’m still breathing, praise God, only now I’m doing it in Glasgow. Scotland? Ha…I wish! Nope, but the city we’re living in is still a good city anyway, even if it’s not somewhere exotic (to me, anyway). Glasgow, Kentucky. What? Yep. We sold our…

    Cannot believe I forgot to blog about this…oy! This week, Smashwords is having their Read an Ebook Week Sale. Lots of FREE and reduced price ebooks, fiction, non-fiction, cowboys on ostriches, snake people, whatever weird, unusual, or warm and cozy thing you like to read, you can probably find it there. Now weird…that’s my middle…

    I’m convinced that there’s a nasty little gremlin, with beady eyes and short, black hair jutting out from its wrinkled, putrid green skin who has crept unawares into my life. This gremlin steals bits and bobs of my time until before I know it, we’re in the middle of the first quarter of 2019. Okay,…

    No, not the dark little Adaams girl…the middle of the week, silly. 🙂 It’s been a bit tough getting back into the swing of things client-wise…my head space is still on vacation (engaged in a vicarious binge watching full-time RV living videos when I should be writing, why do you ask?) However, with deadlines looming,…

  • NaNoWriMo…Does it Strike Fear or Excitement…or Both?

      Can you believe that NaNoWriMo was created nearly 20 years ago? Wow! I’ve been waffling back and forth between whether or not I should participate. Although I’ve got client work, in reality, I don’t work as many hours as if I were working outside of the house, so there’s no real excuse not to.…

  • Sidetracked Much?

    If it’s not something in my world sidetracking me, it’s my own brain! Some work got done today, but not nearly as much as I’d wanted. This means, of course, that I’m stacked up into tomorrow. Sigh…at least it’s not as nuts as last week! As for the sidetracking part…I’ve been thinking a lot lately about…

    Last week was a crazy week…lots of client work (yeah!) but not enough writing my own stuff (boo!). Ah, the delicate balance. Rather than a ballerina prancing around the stage, however, we’re talking Lucille Ball working at the chocolate factory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPzLBSBzPI Messy, messy, messy! Still working on story number two for the year, but will…

  • The Sword of Damocles?

    Although I’m not using the expression as the original meaning intended, in our modern vernacular, it seems to fit. Sometimes it feels like I’ve been placed under the “Sword of Damocles” – or rather, that I’ve placed myself there, by pushing myself to write every day. But what nonsense is this? I love to write.…
