Though it’s Mirth and Music Monday, you will probably listen to this next song and wonder WHY would I choose this one. I am choosing to play this song because, for me, this song is extremely encouraging. Life is hard, and this song doesn’t deny that. It encourages us to give our worries to God because He is the one…

The last week of June and the first week of July were rather terrible. Ugh. Sick children, and other immediate family stuff. People doing illegal fireworks behind our apartments,keeping my daughter up at night. It has caused me to be in a grumpy mood I have been thinking lately – ok more like, all the time – about my…

If you’re unfamiliar with WIPpet Wednesday, it’s a great weekly meme hosted by Emily Witt where authors can share excerpts from Works in Progress. I have greatly enjoyed reading others’ WIPs and getting to know other authors’ stories. Today, I have a section from my 2nd Manuscript.

This intriguing meme/blog hop is hosted by Addlepates and Book nerds. I stumbled upon it through another blog, which I found through another blog. And the web never ends. The goal: to find a book on your shelf, virtual and otherwise, that match the topic for that week. This week’s topic is: A Christmas Present Several years back, my mom…

I almost didn’t post today, since I’m still sick. Blah. But, I probably won’t post next Wednesday, and I didn’t want to miss two weeks. This is another Excerpt from Second Chances. Still slugging through the final edit. I’m about halfway done. If done is even a word in a writer’s dictionary… Scene set up: This is after Jay meets Lacey…

I’ll tell you a secret. My favorite poems and songs are those that tell a story. Sure, I appreciate plenty of poems and stories that are more symbolic or figurative, but I have always been drawn to poems and songs that actually have a plot, if that makes any sense. So I have two things for you today. A song…

Stream of Consciousness Saturday is a blog hop hosted by Linda G. Hill. Thank you for hosting such a unique blog hop. This week’s topic is “clo”. “Clo” I feel like this is a jeopardy category. (no offense…) I am a fan of poetry. So I’ve written a poem for you. I used to write poetry in high school. Later,…
