FICTION FRIDAY! Character Snippet

So hey! Since I'm spending a lot of time bouncing around this month, I figured rather than giving you all a prompt call, I'd just offer a few tiny bits of fiction so you can all meet my characters again. I did this once, long ago, and I can't remember if this exact piece was … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY! Character Snippet

BOOK REVIEW: MAKING A KILLING by John L. Hart & Olivia Rupprecht

I received a copy of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for my honest review. I'm always nervous about thrillers, particularly thrillers in series. It's very easy to forget to bring in potential new readers. And while I was offered a chance to read THERE WILL BE KILLING before I read this on, … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: MAKING A KILLING by John L. Hart & Olivia Rupprecht

When the Words Won’t Come

I know I've talked about writing through depression before, but I'm not sure I've talked much about what we'd all consider "writer's block." I can't remember; I know I've talked about it somewhere, and it was probably here, but HEY LET'S DO IT AGAIN. That feeds into what I'm talking about anyway. I can make … Continue reading When the Words Won’t Come

Discouragement, Frustration, Irritation

It's been a trying past few...whiles. The past few days in particular, I've been feeling very frustrated and disheartened about a lot of things in my life. I had a bunch of topics I was going to write about but none of them are coming to me. (One I can't remember what I meant by … Continue reading Discouragement, Frustration, Irritation

BOOK REVIEW: READING THE DEAD by J.B. Cameron

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. It's no real secret that paranormal and/or fantasy books are right up my alley. I love the concepts of ghosts, demons, angels, all of that. So even just at first glance, READING THE DEAD sounded like a book I'd … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: READING THE DEAD by J.B. Cameron

One Year Ago Today

There is a blessing and a curse when it comes to apps and programs like Timehop. I am often reminded, when it sends me back far enough, about times I had with people I no longer speak to...am not friends with anymore. It's hard, seeing those names. Remembering that there were good times mixed with … Continue reading One Year Ago Today

Prompt Call July 2016 – “Independence”

Hey everyone! So since I got a pretty nifty suggestion from one of my regulars, I figured I'd give a prompt call a shot again. This month's theme, in honor of stuff like Brexit and Independence Day, shall be "independence." What does that mean? Anything you'd like! Give me an idea for a short that … Continue reading Prompt Call July 2016 – “Independence”

BOOK REVIEW: LOVERS AT HEART by Melissa Foster

I don't remember where along the way I found Melissa Foster, but she's been floating around my Facebook and Twitter spheres for a while now. (I seem to do this a lot.) But over time I've picked up a few of her books through flash sales and whatnot, and I had yet to ever read … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: LOVERS AT HEART by Melissa Foster

One Day I’ll Come Back

So since I'm really a one trick pony, I'm still talking about Pokémon. 🙂 Consider yourself forewarned. This isn't REALLY about Pokémon, nor about PokéGo. This is about the fact that I've been delving back into my childhood through my Pokémon CDs and music. It's been bringing back some interesting thoughts: of course Dratini is … Continue reading One Day I’ll Come Back
