Apologies

I feel I owe an apology for not posting anything lately. Honestly, the last month has been a bit of a shit show for me. No one thing has went wrong but numerous small things…like going from two cars to one with both my husband and I working or attempting not to murder my elderlyContinue reading “Apologies”

My birthday…

This may be a surprise but I hate my birthday–always have. Even as a little girl, I hated it. It doesn’t help that we never really celebrated birthdays…except with my grandparents. My grandparents would have my parents, and brothers over for dinner with a homemade birthday cake and a present. Sometimes, that was the onlyContinue reading “My birthday…”

Book Review: Work in Progress by Staci Hart

   This is the fourth or fifth book of Hart’s that I’ve read. I absolutely love her writing. This book give a new twist to the author/book blogger relationship. I did have a few reservations while reading beginning with Amelia’s shyness disorder and lack of socialization issues. She has a circle of friends yet noneContinue reading “Book Review: Work in Progress by Staci Hart”

Getting back to the swing of things…

Ok, so I have been reading non-stop. Normally, this is a good thing, right? Yeah, not for me. Or at least this time. I’m binge reading in avoidance. I am stuck in my writing…chapter 5 to be exact. I need to write it. Like a child, I just don’t wanna. It should be a simpleContinue reading “Getting back to the swing of things…”

Writing and editing woes

I began writing a new novel in November with NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I mostly finished it it about a week or so ago. I’ve been editing it since. My editing process has been very slow moving. I love jumping back into the story with the characters. I wonder if I’m telling the storyContinue reading “Writing and editing woes”

Life in transition…

I feel that everything in my life is in complete limbo. I’m between jobs which makes me even more anxious than usual. I decided to return to my true north passion–writing. Here’s one huge problem with that. It doesn’t make money. I mean, yes eventually or if my name is Stephen King or J.K. RowlingContinue reading “Life in transition…”

Writing and life….

This month has been an enlightening experience. It started out as just completing NaNoWriMo just to see if I could complete it. Instead, I realized how much I miss writing on a daily basis. It is something that has been missing from my life. I walked away from it a few years ago to teachContinue reading “Writing and life….”

My own writing….

I may slow down on reviewing, cover reveals, and book promotions during the month of November due to NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. I’ve been stuck on a particular novel for the last few years because the main character just refuses to talk to me. This past week, her best friend has been talkingContinue reading “My own writing….”

Book Review: Book Boyfriend by Dawn Chiletz

Greer Hanson has been in a writing slump which is a problem for her since she is a romance writer. It would help if her dating life wasn’t non-existent. She hasn’t dated since…well since before she was married to her now ex-husband. An ex who now lives in her former home and took half her money. How can she write about romance? Her imagination can only get her so far? 

countdown to a deadline

With my deadline fast approaching, I am stuck. I have yet to decide upon the topic of my nonfiction essay let alone write it. The time is ticking away. I know I should not be such a procrastinator but yet I did. I should’ve at least picked my topic a few days ago and didContinue reading “countdown to a deadline”
