Day Two of the Madness
My baby girl Bella! Another “NaNoEE” day! Got 171 words done tonight for a grand total of 271. Okay then…obviously I’ve got to up my game a little bit. I did, after all, have a back of the mind word count of a measly 500 words per day minimum. Tomorrow, as they say, is…

NaNoWriMo Madness Has Arrived
Yes, I’m delving into the foolishness that is NaNoWriMo! I’ve NEVER won it, BUT…I will this time. I’ll win it, no matter whether or not I’m able to finish 50K words, but my plan is to write every day. No matter what. So, towards that end, today I wrote 100 words. That’s good, in my…

I was kidnapped by aliens…er…not really
Thought that the idea I was kidnapped by “off-worlders” would suffice, but no, in fact, (thank God) I’ve not been kidnapped and in fact, I was here the whole time… Busy, yes, but not TOO busy to write something…anything. Lazy…oh God, yes…but only SOMEWHAT lazy. Still managed to get my client work done. No excuses,…

Writing Habits
A common piece of advice I’ve heard from countless successful authors is that to succeed at writing you simply have to show up and do it. Get into a habit of writing every day and NEVER give up. It’s comforting to know that other writers have had the same issues I’ve had and yet…

Summertime…and the livin’ is easy…
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]…

Slap Your Head Christian and Say D’oh!
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…

I’m supposed to be writing for clients now…
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…

Still here
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…

I Hate Books…snicker
I don’t spend nearly enough time on Twitter…I had to hear this from Mashable, but Indie book publisher Melville House started a conversation surrounding what we hate about books. Here’s a screenshot…my favorite ones are the first and second ones. Clever.

Fighting Evil…Should Christians Do It?
The one and only review so far that I’ve gotten on Smashwords was for my book (which is free, might I add) titled Children of Wrath: A Witch Killers Story. Interestingly enough I had just uploaded it to the site. It wasn’t there more than 5 minutes before I get this review. lol Reviewer…
