Up Next: Editing Challenge!

I am supposed to be working right now, but apparently after working 9-10 hour days all week to make up for being sick last week, and being extremely productive while I was at it, my brain is a little tired now. No, it has nothing to do with being up until 12:30 last night. NothingContinueContinue reading “Up Next: Editing Challenge!”

Rushing Through Life

So we went on a week-long cruise the week of February 18th. It was a very fun, very busy vacation what with islands, snorkeling, an excursion that was cancelled and replaced by a different one, and in general staying up until 2 AM every night playing games with my brother and sister-in-law. But for onceContinueContinue reading “Rushing Through Life”

Schedule Update and Writing Goals

Having left off last time saying I was getting up at 4:45 AM and “happy” about it, I was thinking it was about time for an update, and a question from one of my friends accentuated the fact. And the verdict is currently: I am still getting up at 4:45. And I am still atContinueContinue reading “Schedule Update and Writing Goals”

Choosing Joy

Apparently my previous post was a little too sobering for anyone to read/like/comment on – which is fine – I am still glad I pushed away my fear of confrontation enough to bring it up. It’s what so many introverts/writers struggle with, isn’t it? That fear someone is going to attack you for your beliefs,ContinueContinue reading “Choosing Joy”

New York Abortion Legislation

I almost sat down to write last week, but to tell the truth, I was so upset over New York’s recent legislation allowing abortions up to birth that I couldn’t. I debated for awhile about writing a long article talking about abortion – but I don’t know. I feel like there are already so manyContinueContinue reading “New York Abortion Legislation”

Planners and Schedules

I just ordered a planner completely themed around being a writer. Yup. They have those. How I only thought to look for them now, I have no idea, but there are apparently plenty of them – some of which are plenty expensive as well. But, they are so cool! They let you track your wordContinueContinue reading “Planners and Schedules”

Making Characters Suffer

As part of my new year’s resolution, I have a new schedule (as anyone who knows me at all would have already guessed).  I get up at 5:00 AM, do a quick 10-minute workout (sometimes Calisthenics and sometimes stretches as instructed by the chiropractor), get dressed, do hair and makeup, grab the lunch my husbandContinueContinue reading “Making Characters Suffer”

Typical New Year Post

So, I know last year I said I wasn’t doing resolutions – I was just doing goals (ultimately the same thing, right?) More and more people do that, I think – shrug off resolutions as an overrated thing that are made and broken year and year (true enough!). Therefore, in an attempt to fit in,ContinueContinue reading “Typical New Year Post”

An Ear By Any Other Name . . .

I was in Atlanta this week for work – three days with four hour meetings and then networking events. It was delightful for me as an introvert, as I am sure you can well imagine. I may have gotten bored during one or two – okay, three – moments, and I decided it was anContinueContinue reading “An Ear By Any Other Name . . .”
