Today’s the day when we MUST make our voices heard. I don’t care if both sides of the political atmosphere are garbage. This is the day when you decide who takes the least from you. It’s sad that this is what politics are in this country, yet the sad reality doesn’t stop the gears fromContinue reading “I Voted!”

NaNoWriMo and GO!
I’ve been debating whether I would participate in NaNoWriMo this year or not. For those not familiar, it stands for National Novel Writing Month. The idea is to write an entire 50,000-word novel in one month, 1667 words per day. I’ve participated for the last two years and have not been successful. However, I lovedContinue reading “NaNoWriMo and GO!”

A Little Fall Baking
A few weeks ago, I bought a new kitchen toy for myself, a Dash Mini Pie Maker, like the one you can find here except mine is pumpkin orange. Of course, I had to give it a Pre-Thanksgiving run to see how it works. I read a lot of online reviews before firing it up,Continue reading “A Little Fall Baking”

It Came
Proof copy in hand. This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill! I received my proof copy yesterday, but things around here were a bit chaotic so I didn’t get to share it with you guys. Instead, I did some freelance writing and took part in a Hocus Pocus 2 watchContinue reading “It Came”
It’s official…Coming November 1, 2022

This was a hard decision, since I wanted to publish through the traditional route but didn’t want to wait the year or two it could take to get someone on board. I needContinue reading “It’s official…Coming November 1, 2022”
The Hardest Thing
“It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do To look you in the eye And tell you I don’t love you It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to lie To show no emotion when you start to cry I can’t let you see what you mean to me When my hands are tiedContinue reading “The Hardest Thing”
Buried in Stuff
Sometimes it feels like my house will never be clean. I try to keep things put away, but it never lasts. Once upon a time, my house was neat and clean. Of course, I don’t actually remember that day. With a revolving door of children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and pets, it’s hard to keep thingsContinue reading “Buried in Stuff”
