When I started second grade at my new school, my favorite teacher was Miss Bubble, and I quickly discovered that she was every other second grade student’s favorite as well. Her last name was not actually ‘Bubble’; her full name was so long and hard to pronounce that we all called her that. The name... Continue Reading →
Nothing Ever Happens Here
(One for the littles) “Nothing ever happens here!” Ali and her twin brother Alex complained in unison. They came in and flopped down on the floor next to their mother’s rocking chair in the living room and gave a loud sigh. It was the second week of summer break, and they were already bored with...

My Way…
There are some that thrive on others' organizational, dietary, workout, and cleaning routines, and I'd even go so far as to add writing styles, but me? I need to do it my way. I may gain some insight and logic into why something works or doesn't, but in the end, I'm stubborn (my mother called... Continue Reading →
Decluttering, or ‘Finding What Was Lost’
I decided to tackle my office yesterday. My office is a combo of writing, bill paying, filing, ebaying business, storage, and did I mention "Chaos"? I've been researching ad nauseum on how to declutter, organize, or make sense of the growing paperwork that has grown so high that I cannot see the glass top of... Continue Reading →
Posting Excerpts Of My Stories – Yes? No?
This morning I have been contemplating whether to post parts of the stories I'm working on, here on my blog. What would be the pros and cons? The only downside I could think of is that someone could publish my work as their own. Don't you risk that very problem if you have an outsider... Continue Reading →
Do You Do Write This Way Too?
I've not asked a lot of questions from readers of my blog in my many posts, and it's not because I don't want to know what's going on with you or if you can relate; it's mainly because my brain is firing thoughts through my fingers as I'm posting. I try to get the ideas... Continue Reading →
Friday the 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day
There's something rather dark about having a scary movie associated with the day before a Sweetheart's Day, and my active imagination is spiraling with a twisted love story that somehow seems stalkerish. It has to be a short one; I am trying to finish my Western. I'll edit this post after completion. Happy V-Day, all!... Continue Reading →
Been a Hot Minute – A Coffee Moment
As is usual, this morning I am pondering randomness over my first cup of coffee, like where did the expression "A Hot Minute" come from? However I look at that randomness, it's still been a few since I've blogged. Today's agenda will include a video call for a project I may be a part of... Continue Reading →
Random Book Title Moments
This morning's coffee moment has me pondering over my desk mess, since I have something like two to-three dozen stories / books in the works, and at perhaps that many story-starts that vie for my attention. I'll be actively working on one of my stories and a scene will pop into my head that is... Continue Reading →
Finishing the Story(ies)
I have so many half-written (translate, half finished) stories on my computer, and recently I had a health scare that told me I either need to finish them or delete them. Do I really want my legacy to be a dozen or more half-written stories? This morning, I chose one to finish and have pulled... Continue Reading →
