You ever have one of those mornings that feel like a black cloud swallowed your day? The middle of my week started out with a loud bang, clang, and grind and I had to turn around to bring my car into the mechanic. Being someone who doesn’t ever want to buy a new car again,Continue reading “Christmas Presents”

Final Writing Rounds
Yesterday, I thought I was going to take the day off but as dinner time approached my fingers itched for the keyboard. What was going to be a rest day turned into a productive few hours. I finished the formatting for my two new author’s book cover, returned a back cover summary edit to myContinue reading “Final Writing Rounds”
Holiday Date
When I woke up this weekend, it took me a while to bravely look out the window. My nerves didn’t want to remember driving home in white out conditions on Friday. I witnessed one person turn the corner a few blocks from my home to slide all the way across the street into my lane.Continue reading “Holiday Date”
Minnesota Snow Days
Friday is here and the talk of Minnesota is all about how much snow we’re going to get in the afternoon. Then, we all hope that the forecast for warm weather will cause a quick melt down. Well, not those who want the white stuff for Christmas. After many years of shoveling and doing theContinue reading “Minnesota Snow Days”
Steaming Up the Kitchen
Is it already Thursday? The sad part about the holidays is it flies by and everyone starts talking about their New Year’s Resolutions. People like me. To get in enough of the holiday feel, I think I’ll do a repeat of watching Christmas shows before Halloween. Santa doesn’t need to know that my tree wentContinue reading “Steaming Up the Kitchen”
A Walk In the Snow
Yesterday, the road was filled with whirling white puffs of snow that slowed down the traffic on all the roads early in the morning. Then, thick flakes fell down mid-morning and the Minnesota groans were audible everywhere I went. The first snow falls take a while to get used to even when you grow upContinue reading “A Walk In the Snow”
Mystery Meat and Edits
Are you ready for another round of editing? I have to be ready. I just received the follow-up round back from my soon to be authors. It’s the final push before their book is ready and I know exactly what they’re going through. You want your book published but you bite down on the endContinue reading “Mystery Meat and Edits”
Winter Wonderland
The wind howled across the windows throughout the night and I woke up a few hours too early. My weekend didn’t go planned with the random coughing that occurred. Maybe it was the booster at the end of the week because I was feeling better until that little poke. Our dinner together was spent atContinue reading “Winter Wonderland”
Another Date of Christmas
Since the recent headlines in the news, I’m not eager to travel to far places this holiday season. I do have some Christmas Markets on my bucket list but I’m okay with waiting, because our city of St. Paul decided to create one at our Union Station. Instead of sitting in a plane for hours,Continue reading “Another Date of Christmas”
Things That Make You Cry
I spent last night trying not to let a steady cascade of tears pour down my face while I blew my nose. Talk about getting into a story. I finished reviewing 262 pages and had to read about losing someone to the waves of the ocean for the 3rd round of editing. I had toContinue reading “Things That Make You Cry”
December Is Here!
A new month has begun and I hear bells jingling. Okay, maybe it’s the cow bell I picked up for my mom to ring at her place in country that we all call “the farm”. If your wondering why I gave her that present, it’s because she asked. Cow bells are part of country decor.Continue reading “December Is Here!”
