Beating the Writing Blues

Creativity breeds more creativity.  This is the reason we need to get out of our slump and reawaken our brains.   We all need time to rest but we all know when it’s not normal.  It’s not that your lazy.  Something‘s just not right.  Do we treat ourselves like the stock market and if we’re downContinue reading “Beating the Writing Blues”

Writing Prompt Day!

Before I begin I have to say, “Thank you everyone for all your likes on my website and Facebook Page!” I also enjoy reading your posts! My Literary Road Trip to Ely, Minnesota ended but I took away enough pieces to fill in details missing from my small town novel. I have a lot ofContinue reading “Writing Prompt Day!”

Returning Home

I love going to discover new places small, between, and big. This weekend was no exception. I made the journey North to a small town during the off season and I didn’t miss the other tourists. There were some places closed and that didn’t make it through the past year, not because of the peopleContinue reading “Returning Home”

On the Road Again

Our road trip to a small town in Northern Minnesota started yesterday and it rained all day. Luckily, the rain came down in mists instead of buckets and I saw the landscape change from shopping malls to lakes and trees. There were only a few travelers driving the same route during off season. As weContinue reading “On the Road Again”

Friday Road Trip

Friday is here and I’m excited!  My spring fever is finally going to be fed!  It’s, Friday the 9th and I am on a location road trip for one of the novels that I’ve been blogging about for the past year.  My small, Northern Minnesotan town is going to fill with imaginary werewolves.  I’m offContinue reading “Friday Road Trip”

Announcement Day!

This is a big week and I’ve almost tired of looking at final proofs for my new Writing Journal before it’s published.  The journal is over 200 pages and many of them are left with writing space for the writing prompts but I still need to go over the details.  As I’ve heard from anyContinue reading “Announcement Day!”

How to Get Published

A writer today has options when it comes to publishing their books.  We all have the dream of seeing our names on Best Seller lists and royalty checks.  The reality of the journey means work and learning to promote yourself. Remember, my previous posts.  Don’t get overwhelmed.  Break the process of writing a novel andContinue reading “How to Get Published”

Sharing More Resources

About 5 years ago I caught the wave of the Entrepreneur fever rushing through our country and I started listening to other creatives. I came across author, Joanna Penn and her podcast and she became my some day resource. Joanna’s published several books that help other authors, has a daily podcast for writers, and publishedContinue reading “Sharing More Resources”

Happy Easter!

This Easter my husband and I entered into the land of cheese curds and Spotted Cow beer. Yes, we’re in Wisconsin. Sometimes, you’re so used to city life that you forget there’s more to your surroundings than rush hour, emergency sirens, and buildings. Stepping out of our car last night the first sound to hitContinue reading “Happy Easter!”

Proof Copy Day!

Easter weekend is meant to give us all hope and the feeling of rebirth.  I wish everyone a moment of peace and renewal as we start April.  After a year of writing consistently again, there is light at the end of this tunnel and a celebration comes at the right time.  A rebirth is hereContinue reading “Proof Copy Day!”

April Fools Day

The first day of our new month is a holiday for all the pranksters and jokers in our lives. Every year we all wait to see what kind of pranks are going to be played on our friends and families. The lack of not being able to fill our co-workers cube with balloons or toiletContinue reading “April Fools Day”

Hoarding Slush Piles

Over the weekend, I TikToked about Spring cleaning and taking a few items to Goodwill on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Last night, I watched an episode of Hoarders and it scared me. I immediately went and cleaned another small area in our creative room after watching a painful episode of someone who needed help butContinue reading “Hoarding Slush Piles”
