Is better than nothing. Yes, I’m still working through my edits of SEEDS OF POWER. Yes, it’s still exciting. But there were a few days during these past two weeks where I wrote different things because a new person or scene was in my head. I stopped thinking about restructuring SOP and wrote something new. […]

Is a balancing act. “Reader, writer, full-time mom” is a job that must be flexible. All parents (no matter what their work/life balance situation) have to flex for school breaks, seasonal activities, and everything else we must do to live in a clean healthy place and eat basic food groups. So I am trying to […]

The writer can play. I have a freshman in high school (that’s nuts) and a third grader that are both back in school. My trusty canine writing assistant and I now have the quiet and focus to edit. But we didn’t at first. I took two days to rest my mind and body after the […]

And there are still chores, errands, and oh yeah, I should probably remind them to read and do their summer math packets—but it’s […]

So stop writing sometimes and take them. Especially after a year of lockdowns and routine changes, it was important to stop working and take a break. A cabin near the Smokey Mountains where I could chill and relax after daily hikes with my husband and kids recharged me. I usually like to write (or edit) […]

Gave me so much anxiety. Creating a website and getting ‘professional’ profiles up on social media… yikes. Fellow writer, if this is a step you need to take, read on, and maybe my experience will be helpful to you. I made a plan, took one baby step at a time to get this going, and […]

Because he’s of the furry variety. My miniature schnauzer Scooch is my middle child. He just is. We got him as a puppy when we moved into our new home and I stepped away from my first career to be a full-time parent. He is my dog because I was home with him all the […]

Hi! I’m going to share my unfolding journey in writing and getting published. It began by simply trying to write. Writing a fantasy novel was the one consistent dream I always listed during leadership and life goal seminars. But I never picked up my half-finished manuscript from my college days. I never started a new […]
