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 →
Ever Try to Reclaim Your Life?
As I take sips from my first cup today, I am reminded that it is Monday. Monday's agenda usually sets the tone for the rest of the week for me. It is a fresh start on whatever might be on my to-do list and I have all the best intentions of checking at least a... Continue Reading →
Take the Win!
Saturdays are 'weigh-in' days for me, so this morning (before coffee), I jumped on the scale, cringing because it has been unmovable. Well today it reflected a loss of 2/10ths of a pound. Instead of celebrating, I immediately thought, "Only 2/10ths???" But then, on my way to pour my morning coffee, I remembered just how... Continue Reading →
“Fret” – The Other Four-Letter “F” Word
I make Bible reading, study, and prayer my first priority, just about every morning. I say 'just' because some days things jump into my way and off I go, but *sigh*, I do try for every morning. This morning, I did a Bible roulette and opened the Good Book to whatever Psalm He wanted me... Continue Reading →
Why do I write?
The short answer this morning, is that I can't help it. I am driven to write, whether it is about life or an idea (or story) in my head, and it, this thing that has evolved from nothing, MUST be put down on paper or my brain circles around it, examining all its possibilities, attacking...

Unexpected Gifts
I have been the recipient of several unexpected gifts this week, and it's not even my birthday! The first came from my Bestie in Nevada, who sent me a set of the new, trending, semi-cured gel nail strips plus a UV light, via an Amazon package. I was skeptical at first that they were as...

Choosing the Storyline
I guess it's going to take the flip of a coin or two. I've chosen today as a "writing" day, and now that I am at the place where I create the best, hot tea in hand, I'm trying to decide which of the storylines I want to work on. As I mull over each's... Continue Reading →
Working on a Story and Getting Sidetracked
This morning I was trying to find the story I've been working on (a Western) and I came across my old blog from WAAAAY back. See how easy it is for me to get off track??? Anyway, there were a couple that I want to repeat, so this morning I'll put them in separately so... Continue Reading →
Another “Down” Day? Not Quite…
I try to schedule some "Me" time every now and then, but this morning I am realizing that "down time" means that I get to do something that I really want to do, and I'm smiling as I type this, because I am always doing something that I really want to do. Well, most of... Continue Reading →
