I have had a lot of "irons in the fire," so I've been out of pocket lately. I won't go into all of it, but some of it has to do with my writing, and some does not. There will be some changes in my blog in the future, but all of that is not … Continue reading Out of Pocket

Catching Up and Making Changes
I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post until I looked at the last date a minute ago. My, how time flies. These past few weeks, I’ve been making some changes in the novel I wrote last November while taking part in National Novel Writing Month. The final title will … Continue reading Catching Up and Making Changes
I Survived NaNoWriMo!
Now that I have had a chance to catch my breath from being in a somewhat disciplined frenzy last month, I’ve had some time to digest so much that I got from that experience.

I have always been a … Continue reading Unfinished Projects

My children are grown now pursuing careers in their chosen fields of study. In my son’s case, he is a graphic designer; my daughter is a writer. … Continue reading School Days!

At last count, I had written eighty-one poems and song lyrics, as well as the first few chapters and plot lines of … Continue reading Closed Doors; Open Doors
Another New Season!
I love summer and reading; and I do mean together. I was so disappointed all those years that there was no summer reading program at the local library for adults, when I took my then young children to sign up for it. Several years later, as my youngest was almost out of high school, I … Continue reading Another New Season!
