Laura Ingalls Wilder Week: The Autobiography

I love Laura Ingalls Wilder. I read her Little House books and then kept going with the stories of Rose and Little Farmer Boy. But this biography is one I have not read. Yet.

I have to reblog this post. Its just awesome!

I Have No Title For This Post . . .

. . . Because the idea of writing, "Human Trafficking In America" doesn't set well. But the truth of the matter is that it is a real problem across the globe and here in the United States. I'm a lighthearted type of individual and since the world is full of so much of the heavy …

Have You Ever . . .

Have you ever heard a song and, even before it's over, you immediately decide that you love it? That very thing happened to me this morning when I heard this song play. If you've read or listened to any of the other music videos I usually share on this blog, you'll know it's not my …

They’ll lament their full-time/part-time job, their unpaid parenting work, and other general unavoidable responsibilities which form a barrier to writing.

And I completely agree: they suck. Not very eloquent of me, I know. Forgive me, I’ve had one of those weeks.

Time Confetti: the party animal of your writing life

Recently I read a fantastic article in the Sydney Morning Herald about how women have to deal with fragmented time. It’s here in case you’re interested.

In the article, the author referred to fragmented time as Time Confetti. I loved that. Because that’s how my life feels a lot of the time. A little bit of blue confetti over here. A sprinkle of pink over there. Yellow, red, orange, blue, green . . . shit, that…

Babbling Monday: A Writers Doubts

I'm indecisive. I should take some time to sit and think. Make a choice and stick with it.  It feels odd for me to call anything like it is. I don't care for labels, categories, and all that nonsense. I understand the need. I'll go along with the marketing and self-promotion of it all, but …

Just A Taste . . .

September Rain is the final title I've settled on for my second book in my Savor The Days Series. September Rain is the stand-alone-prequel to Between Octobers, which tells the mind-bending story of two friends serving time for a crime that the protagonist, Angel, is still trying to make sense of. Here's the blurb (which …

Good Morning!

It's Monday again. Since music always gets me in a better mood, here's a song to combat those Monday Blues:
