How To Really Get To Know Your Characters! #MondayBlogs #AmWriting — BlondeWriteMore

Great article from BlondeWriteMore- I think this will be very helpful for me in the future.  Especially with Picture of the Past – I love the story, but have a hard time connecting with my own main character. One of the things I am trying to fix while editing. Photo Credit: Stocksnap Do you wantContinueContinue reading “How To Really Get To Know Your Characters! #MondayBlogs #AmWriting — BlondeWriteMore”

The Truth of People Pleasing

WHAT? Two posts in a row?? I know – I know, you think the world is coming to an end.  But have no fear! It is only that I am at work, but have little to do (right now at least) and wanted to talk about something that I experienced yesterday but wasn’t ready toContinueContinue reading “The Truth of People Pleasing”

Hats and Printers

So, I’ve already told all my friends, and my mom, and Facebook about this, so I won’t spend too much time on it – but I wore a hat to church today! Technically called a fascinator these days, because you know, they feel like they have to sell it under another name to actually sell itContinueContinue reading “Hats and Printers”

Rant: Training a Husband

So, I have the day off today, for which I am every so grateful. It was pretty much worth the hours upon hours of work for the Full-Scale Exercise my team did last week if it resulted in a couple days off without using PTO. And I fully intend to use today to write forContinueContinue reading “Rant: Training a Husband”

The Need for Silence

First things first – head over to my other blog (http://storyidyls.blogspot.com/) and check out my most recent post on fear of failure! Because you all know that is my favorite subject, so I couldn’t resist posting about it on there too and am currently working hard not to regret it. Second things second: I loveContinueContinue reading “The Need for Silence”

Of Dances and Writing

I know I haven’t posted a real post in awhile. And yes, it means what it usually does – I haven’t been writing since July. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to – I’ve just been insanely busy. I haven’t had a chance to write, read, post, or keep up with friends. This past week,ContinueContinue reading “Of Dances and Writing”

This Chaotic World

I haven’t written in awhile I know – I have been surprisingly busy – or too tired. One or the other. I took a work trip to Phoenix, which was just lovely. The only down side, of course, was that my husband wasn’t with me. Around that time, my progress in CampNaNo began collapsing andContinueContinue reading “This Chaotic World”

Happy Independence Day!

So, I thought about doing a politically based post today. Mostly because of some stuff the pastor said in church yesterday that got me thinking. But you know what? My church also played a video at the beginning of the service and a couple of the sentences stuck out to me. “For this one day,ContinueContinue reading “Happy Independence Day!”

Ode to the Ocean

So last weekend we went to the beach with a couple of friends. It is amazing how just some sand, sun, and water can completely change your perspective and mood. I’d been going through a super depressed slump, both due to some personal things and because of the current political environment. Since I do wantContinueContinue reading “Ode to the Ocean”
