I know a few people who had the Monday’s around me and I tried not to let it become too contagious but some people have trouble turning the corner into a new year. Everyone deals with change differently. Instead of staring at 2022 with and feeling overwhelmed, I started to ask other people what theyContinue reading “Growing Pains”

Author to Author
The first Monday of 2022 is here and I started out the first day of the month with a touch base meeting with one of the Coauthors to the book I’m editing. I shared my experience of previous book edits and the timeline never changes be I’ve published my own or someone else’s novel. TheContinue reading “Author to Author”
Writing in 2022!
The clock struck midnight and I was actually up this time watching the ball drop on TV as the New Year rang in. There was a client click of our fake champagne (the real stuff gives me a headache), and a kiss on the sofa. There were no parties or get together with everything goingContinue reading “Writing in 2022!”
Christmas Dinner Parties
Last night was our first mini get-together with old work friends to exchange stories of co-workers of Christmas past. Our table was a little different this year because the past few we weren’t able to get together for everyone’s health and safety. This year was our first time seeing each other after many of usContinue reading “Christmas Dinner Parties”
Fantasy Writing Week
The day ended and I had to take a deep breathe. Answering the incoming emails and catching up on tasks made me do a double take in late afternoon. The last time I looked at the clock it was lunchtime and then the end of the day was there in a the blink of anContinue reading “Fantasy Writing Week”
Entrepreneur Day
The end of the week is here and we are a week before the holiday last minute frenzy begins. Finding and following other people who I consider top performers when it comes to reaching goals, I found a video of 29 year old entrepreneur, Charlie Chang. He posted his “A Day in the Life ofContinue reading “Entrepreneur Day”
Writing Struggles
Sometimes we struggle as writers and we need a little help. This was one of the reasons I started writing prompts. Today, is another helpful tip for one of those moments. Keeping the ink flowing can feel like a circus act and we wonder where we’re going to get our next novel idea. No oneContinue reading “Writing Struggles”
Christmas Presents
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”
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”
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”
