Well Now Ain’t That Something!
Faith without works is dead, right? So now I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to show some “works” by believing God for a new writing client or other source of income. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my writing eggs were all in a single basket (which of course I knew wasn’t very smart) and now that…

Finished!
Yeah! Wrapped up Visitor to Blue Lake: a Jazz and Slade Story at around the 20K mark. It’s cover page time while I wait on the beta reader to give me some feedback in a few weeks, both for this most recent story and a revision for the other one in the series which of course wasn’t…

Quick Update and Need for Beta Reader
The rumors of my demise have been seriously exaggerated! I’ve been busy on client work, still trying to get the whole “work-life” balance thing straightened out and working on the fiction. I’m still writing the second in my Jazz and Slade series, Visitor to Blue Lake: A Jazz & Slade Story and by jove this time…

Update on Visitor to Blue Lake…I’ve no idea!
Update on Visitor to Blue Lake. Surprise! I’ve no idea where or when this story will end! lol I’m just north of 16,000 words so it’s definitely not a short story anymore (as I had intended at first, ha!). But that’s okay, because I’m having fun writing it, so hopefully readers will have fun reading it!…

Quick update
Hi everybody! 😀 I’d planned to wrap up Visitor to Blue Lake: A Jazz and Slade Story by the 28th of February. In a perfect world, that is…which this world is most obviously not, I would have met my deadline. Needless to say, I did not! But, I did get closer. In fact I know I’ve…

Weekend Whizzed…
By…that’s what I was going to say! The weekend flew by, like two kids chasing a runaway kite. Friday was here…it was a good day, work completed for the week, ready to take care of miscellaneous errands, etc. and then the next thing I know, it’s Sunday night, time for me to get some sleep…

Discipline Isn’t Always a Dirty Word
Discipline. To a child it means “oops, I’m in trouble.” To an adult it means “staying on a diet” or “doing what I have to do.” To both a child and an adult then, discipline has a negative connotation. Merriam-Webster expands on that narrow definition. My favorite definition is number 5c; “self control” punishment obsolete…

Another day closer
Closer to…what? Closer to getting my story done? Closer to wrapping up my client work for the week? Closer to my ultimate demise? Or is it all of the above? 😛 Got a call from our tax guy…he’s finished preparing the tax returns and needed our signatures. Yeah…favorite time of year. Don’t get me started… 🙄…

Quick update
Keeping up the blog writing streak. Busy day today, still catching up on client work, which means that I’ve got to wrap up my week on Saturday. That’s life….at least I’ve got client work and for that I am thankful. God has truly blessed me. After wrapping up the client work then more on Visitor to…

Placeholder
Busy, busy day planned tomorrow. Shopping for household and grocery planned for tomorrow, oil change for the truck, other miscellaneous bits and bobbles. Wish I made enough money to pay someone to shop for me. 😛 Weird that a woman would say that, eh? Aren’t we supposed to be “wired” to shop? Or am I…
