Book Time!

Tuesday is a trip to the library! It’s time to build our home shelves with more recommended reads from other book lovers. I know there are lists floating around on all kinds of social media but I’m going share is from A Clockwork Reader on YouTube. I choose this reading list because a wide varietyContinue reading “Book Time!”

Reset Time

We sprang forward a few weeks ago and all my clocks changed over except my alarm clock.  You know when you have that feeling that everything is a little off?  I heard clock ticking like a drum on the wall and always felt a few steps off from where I was supposed to be standing. Continue reading “Reset Time”

Publishing Announcement

We’re coming to the end of the month and I can’t keep one of my projects quiet. Over the past year, my journey started by creating prompts because I stopped writing. I published 5 novels in the past and then my unfinished novels sat in the corner but life happened. I started making excuses andContinue reading “Publishing Announcement”

Today, we are all Seanchai or old story tellers of Ireland as we celebrate March 17th together! Being a story teller of old lore means passing on family traditions and customs. Somewhere in my mom’s family lineage there a deed ownership of a castle, sold before the potato famine and a voyage to the UnitedContinue reading “Happy St. Patrick’s Day!”

Female Writers

This week is supposed to be full of green and four leaf clovers but the storm that dropped feet of snow in Colorado paid us a visit a day later in Minnesota. Temperatures dropped again and the snow fell late into the night. How am I supposed to find my pot of gold with snowContinue reading “Female Writers”

Becoming a Food Writer

Weekends are great for unwinding, exploring, and doing my favorite thing – following other foodies from around the world.  This past year changed locations but it didn’t change my love for cooking shows and baking challenges.  In my opinion, any writer who can make us drool with words and no pictures is a master ofContinue reading “Becoming a Food Writer”

Character Development

Happy Friday!  I hope you were a good student and did your homework yesterday.  I spent hours working on my character profiles and flushing out their back stories.  More importantly, I spent time on asking why questions.  This exercise was inspired by Shaelin at Reedsy or  https://youtu.be/PqKxLx3As28.  If you didn’t have time, or become aContinue reading “Character Development”

Changing from one season to another means we usually experience all seasons within one week. A change in season for me means an awaited call into the local pharmacy, someoneContinue reading “Homework Day”
