So, How Many Books Are You Writing?

I've gotten this question so many times. Once people find out I'm a writer, I inevitably get asked the same series of questions. What genre do you write in? What age range? So on and so forth. And it always comes down to this: "So, what are you working on?" If I had a nickel … Continue reading So, How Many Books Are You Writing?

Inspiration Wednesday: Ugh, Do I Have To?

I'm not going to beat around the bush. I don't have any inspiration this week. My work is tiring, my exercise is lacking, my diet is suffering from over-eating, and I'm just exhausted. It was hard to get back into the habit of writing these blogs for this week. I didn't put up my weight … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Ugh, Do I Have To?

Book Review: The Dark Space Between

It's really a pleasure to write this review, as I'm a colleague of the author and have been working with them in one fashion or another for a few years now. This is K.

NEW UPDATE 6:09 PM THURSDAY: So I've figured out that they DID in fact list the location we went to on the meetup posting, and still apparently held it elsewhere. I've now contacted the group to see what in the world is going on. So for now, this remains a massive failure and disappointment on … Continue reading UPDATED: Writing Workshops and How to Fail At Them

Inspiration Wednesday: Drinks All Around!

Kudos if anyone gets the quote in the title before I explain it. ...I'll give you a moment to think. Hit the "read more" after you've given up. I make absolutely no excuses about being obsessed with characters and their development. Even more so, I am fascinated with relationships and how characters get them into … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Drinks All Around!

Book Review: The Great Gatsby

I was talking to someone online who'd checked out my blog and really appreciated my review of To Kill a Mockingbird, and noted that he'd really enjoy seeing my take on The Great Gatsby.  Anyone who knows me knows full well that this is not a challenge I can pass by. For years, I absolutely loathed Gatsby. I … Continue reading Book Review: The Great Gatsby

Introverts, Unite! …Separately. …In Your Own Homes.

Yeah, I wish I could take credit for that title, but I know I really can't. I've seen the image floating around for a while now and it's always made me smile. I'm a major introvert, and always have been. Likely always will be. But I'm in a situation now that I've never been in … Continue reading Introverts, Unite! …Separately. …In Your Own Homes.
