Get a Giggle
Posted on June 5, 2019 3 Comments
June is here and I think it is finally looking like summer in Colorado. We had a cool, wet spring. In late May we even had 8 inches of snow. Quite unusual for this area of the state. With all the weather I spent a good deal of time indoors working on my new book, […]
Language is Power
Posted on May 1, 2019 5 Comments
What was some experiences where you learned that language had power? Language, I have found, has more power than I ever realized. What about you? Think about it. If you were to walk up to a random person on the street and tell them their shoes were ugly, what would happen? My guess is that, […]

Today I am combining two blogging challenges into one post. Not only is the A to Z Blogging Challenge just getting started, but I also have the Insecure Writers Support Group that I do on the first Wednesday of the month. Today is A to Z’s letter ‘C’ and ISWG’s monthly post. As writers we […]
My Favorite POV
Posted on March 6, 2019 4 Comments
I was asked whose point of view do I like to write from; the hero or the villain? I’ve never really considered writing from the villain’s point of view. I am just naturally drawn to the hero more. WHY? It is all very selfish. I want to be the hero of my stories so I […]
Loving Photography
Posted on February 6, 2019 13 Comments
Besides writing, what other creative outlets do I have? When I was in high school I was going to be the next Van Gogh (without the crazy factor). I dreamed of having a huge studio with massive canvases piled along every wall. In college it was the dream of photography. For twelve years I photographed […]
Questions About Writing

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Are your ready? Now there’s a question I always have to scratch my head over, and return that question with another. How exactly does one get ready? Do you make lists? Throw things away? Clean the house? Wash the roof? I just don’t get it. As a writer, I get some questions […]
What’s on Your Desk?
Posted on December 5, 2018 6 Comments
Every month I join with a group of writers to answer a question. These monthly writing questions are a fun way for me to let you into my writing life taking a look at the frustrations, successes, and, sometimes, the everyday. Today’s question from the Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG) is: What are five objects […]
Traditional or Self Publishing?
Posted on September 1, 2018 7 Comments
It is already September and I haven’t written a post since early August. Last month was beyond busy so this blog was set aside, until now. It is time to turn over a new leaf and begin posting at least once per week. It is a simple goal and I am excited to get started […]
Writing Goals
Posted on July 3, 2018 5 Comments
Over the past few years I have read a lot about the importance of setting goals. Not just personal goals, but for writing as well. One challenge many writers face (including myself) is procrastination. Goal setting helps stave this off which allows us to postpone those things in life that can wait a few hours […]
Question of the Month – #IWSG
Posted on June 6, 2018 3 Comments
It is that time of month when I address a question from IWSG. June sixth’s question is: What’s harder for you to come up with, book titles or character names? I can easily say that character names are harder. Titles for my stories and books have come organically. As I write, something just triggers in my […]
