Sometimes I wonder if that's what I am. Oblivious. I don't consider myself the next great American author. Come on. Please. I am not that arrogant. But I do wonder sometimes if I am more arrogant than I think I am. Well, ok I know I am. Aren't we all? You know what I mean. I don't think Continue Reading

Inspirations. Thought I'd give an update on where I am and what I am writing about these days. Here We Come- I was stunned at the sales for Here We Come. They were much higher than I expected. I'm not sure why, but I kind of thought I'd sell fewer of them, but I think I sold more than I Continue Reading
Winner!
On Friday, I was supposed to draw a name for a winner from the blog post about "F". I did. Check it out... I almost fell over. Another F-word. I almost hit the thing again just because it seemed so unbelievable. But, another word I love is serendipitous. So... I kept it. This totally felt Continue Reading

I love them. Always have. They're not as good as a book, but they have an advantage that books don't have. See, I can watch a movie and write a book. I can watch a movie and sew a dress, pay bills, help a kid with her doll dress, and cook dinner. I can do all kinds of things while watching a Continue Reading

You know, I think most people are list makers. Some use complex organizers, others notebooks. Some like post-it-notes, and some are more techy types with smart phones, iPads, and laptops. I have a daughter that puts everything into her iTouch. From what to buy at Burger King, to when to switch Continue Reading
K-indness
I think it's underrated in today's society. We're more of a tit for tat culture these days. "Anything you can do to me, I can do worse to you" seems to be the rule of the day. I wonder, whatever happened to kindness? Your waitress is snooty. Would it hurt you to smile and leave a good tip? Continue Reading

the Write Escape... Someone asked me recently how I came up with "Just the Write Escape" for a tagline for my website. To be honest, it wasn't an easy decision. I wanted something that was gently edgy. Yeah. Like the paradox that I am (That might just have a little something to do with my Continue Reading

(To see what other bloggers are doing this month, check out the HUGE list of bloggers HERE! In school, it's a word that pretty much ensures your GPA goes south. In writing it could mean a hundred different things--or a hundred different projects. Yes, I have well over a hundred different Continue Reading

Hope was one of my first characters. Six years ago I participated in my first NaNoWriMo. I like to challenge myself for NaNo, so I chose to force myself to write the most romantic drivel I could manage. Look, the book is bad. Really bad. However, there is (forgive the pun) hope for it. I need Continue Reading
G-
Gee! That's a funny letter! I got to wondering (yes, I said "got" for a reason there) about what fun words start with G and how many of them I use in writing. So, here we go, eh? Giblets (self-explanatory) Gizzard (inspired by giblets of course) Guts (ok, is there a trend going here or Continue Reading
F
Not words. Sheesh. Get your mind out of the gutter. No, I mean names. I discovered something about myself this year. Every time I go to name someone, when I get to their last name, I instinctively type, "F." No, really. I do. It goes something like this. From a battered purse that had Continue Reading

Yes, I'm using today's post as an advertisement for my next Not-So-Fairy Tales book. Sue me. No, don't. I don't have anything you want. Sorry. If I win the Lottery (guess I better start playing), I'll let you know and you can sue me then, ok? Where was I? Oh, Everard. He's coming along Continue Reading
