Lies, Damned Lies and More Lies
I remember history in school. I remember it as being boring…snooze-inducing. Dates, names, places…all dry, dry dry and nothing to do with my life growing up in the middle of America. Until I had a world history teacher in college. I was amazed. She’d walk into the class, sit on the edge of her desk,…

On Being Social
Good day. Stayed home all day, created some more mock-ups and am in the process of creating headers for this website and Facebook. The one above is for three of my published stories. Needs a better background, though, but I was just playing around. Have no idea how (or if) I’ll use the mock-up but…

What’s in a name?
I’m discovering that the hardest part for me…well one of the hardest parts, actually…is coming up with a name for my characters. I can usually come up with a main character name, but the other people that get drawn into the story…well, I usually find myself using name generators, lol. I think it’s because…

It’s a love/hate thing…

He’s having issues viewing Youtube videos, but not so much on other websites. There…

Is It Only January?
No, I’m not in a rush for the year to get going…I’ve got way too much I’d like to do, God willing. But what does make me ask the question is the weather here in Wisconsin. We’re melting like the Wicked Witch in a sauna…temps in the high 30s and rain? Rain? In January? Wouldn’t…

Fiction Binging…Yes, Guilty as Charged!
Failed to post to this blog last night because I got caught up in watching the last six episodes of Better Call Saul, Season Two. It was nearly five o’clock in the morning when I finally stumbled into bed. Not a teenager anymore, Gladys…should have gone to bed sooooo much sooner! 😀 Ah well, loved…
