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!”
End of the Month Review
When the clock strikes midnight, and NaNoWriMo ends my word count from last time hasn’t changed. I was able to create a new opening but my total ends at 19,000 words. I had the goal at 50,000 but welcome to the real life of a writer. Life and too many other projects didn’t give meContinue reading “End of the Month Review”
Get Counting
This weekend I filled up on Turkey too many times and I think I might go on an exercise binge to balance out the calories before our next holiday. The rest of the long weekend was filled with more family time and one trip to a store for a few Black Friday deals. My timeContinue reading “Get Counting”
Black Friday Writing
Ever have one of those moments when you need to decide how you’re going to roll out of bed in the morning? Well, this was my question because bought extra large Thanksgiving plates yesterday. The buffet of slow cookers filled with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and different kinds of sides filled that too large plate tooContinue reading “Black Friday Writing”
Happy Thanksgiving!
Turkey Day is finally here and we escaped the city late last night after I picked my husband up from work. I was surprised to find roads sparse. Rush hour happened without me and I was okay with that. It gets dark up here around 4:00 pm. One rapid test later, and we were onContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”
Bedtime Thoughts
Last night, I sat ready to blog when a sound to my right on sofa made my head turn. Quiet laughter followed as I stared at my husband’s closed eyes. He fell asleep during my 3 episode binge of a new Amazon Prime series, The Wheel of Time. His glasses were perched on his noseContinue reading “Bedtime Thoughts”
Minneapolis Holiday Exodus
Offices are beginning to empty throughout downtown Minneapolis and people are bracing themselves for travel days. Is your Turkey thawing in the refrigerator, or the bathtub? We all have our own ways of tackling the big day. Last year, I made my first crock pot Turkey because my family decided to postpone any gatherings. EverythingContinue reading “Minneapolis Holiday Exodus”

The north this weekend was filled with mild weather and sunshine to the delight of many who anticipate a storm right before they hit the roads for holiday travels. There’s numerous stories up here of families driving through ice and snow storms on the way to Grandma’s. Our white knuckle adventures on the way toContinue reading “Prompts Into Action”
