A Beacon for the Metaphorical Penis Chapter 5 It had been too long since Dee updated her blog. It wasn't that she was running out of dating advice on how to stay away from the wrong kind of guy--the douche bags, the dickheads--but more that Dee could not get that damned conversation out of her …

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 …

I’m having a moment . . .
I'm having one of those moments where I'm like, "It's official. I am awesome." There is nothing like the feeling of typing those last few words on a manuscript.

I’m trying something new…
Serial Flash Fiction. See, I got this idea over the weekend. And the content isn't something I want to write a book about but I like the idea of a romantic-comedy-type story about a woman who thinks she is a magnet for the wrong type of man. Yeah, totally been done before, but not by …
Flash Fiction: Walking
