Jealous Readers
Should I celebrate this morning? You are reading this right now and that means that I was able to achieve at least one goal this week. Being able to write a post Monday to Friday isn’t easy when you have a busy schedule but this is all part of following my own advice to continueContinue reading “Jealous Readers”
Summer Romance
I mentioned summer romances and I thought back to a prompt that I started with a writer who looks to escape the noise of the city only to hear the sounds of a chainsaw from the owner of her cabin rental. There’s nothing like a quick romance story at the edge of a lake. InsteadContinue reading “Summer Romance”
Summer Lovin’
Another week is here and summer is in full swing. While other people head to their cabins for a boat ride on the many lakes of Minnesota, I’ll be participating in the local fairs and flea markets. After running around to a few stores, I finally gave in a bought a vendor pop-up tent becauseContinue reading “Summer Lovin’”
Friday Blues
Friday is supposed to be about going out after a week of work and celebrating with everyone who survived the grind but I’ve been silent this week about some not so great news. Earlier this week I received an email that got me really down. I learned that someone broke into our art shop inContinue reading “Friday Blues”
Market Hunting
Earlier this week, I checked some of my reliable venues for the summer only to find one that decided not to hold events this year due to health reasons. Good thing I started researching new opportunities this spring. A few phone calls later and I have a new spot this year. I’m excited and nervousContinue reading “Market Hunting”

Not only did I get my travel bug out of the way but I managed to sneak in a few more episodes of The Mandalorian because a writer’s interest in other worlds is always on upload mode. I thought about how each episode required new sets and my husband proceeded to tell me that mostContinue reading “Writing the Future”

Saturday Road Trip
This weekend was full of adventure as I made my husband get up at the crack of dawn to drive over three hours away to Shady Hollow Flea Market near Lake Melissa. This market is a few hops from Detroit Lakes, and about 45 minutes away from the North Dakota border near the college townContinue reading “Saturday Road Trip”
Kindness
Friday is finally here and there’s a break in the wet weather this year. I was driving over one of our rivers in Minnesota and noticed how high the waters are here in Minnesota. My nose wrinkled with the thought of our unofficial state bird breeding more as the temperatures rise. Yes, wetter weather meansContinue reading “Kindness”
Dan Brown’s 13 Steps to Writing a Thriller
This week I’ve had theme of kindness and paying it forward but I can’t forget about the hungry pens out there. Thursday is our lesson day and one lesson that I would recommend is #13 from with Dan Brown from MasterClass. I’ve shared a few segments from his lessons but if you want to knowContinue reading “Dan Brown’s 13 Steps to Writing a Thriller”
Minnesota Life
The first of the month is here and I can finally bear the midwest humidity a little bit more because I have air conditioning again in my car. No more melting makeup or skin stuck to the seat as sweat drips down my back. I can breathe easier in cool, fresh air without bugs flyingContinue reading “Minnesota Life”
