I have been struggling with my current manuscript, finding the last third of the book to be the most difficult. Pulling it all together, grappling with endings. It’s kind of a slow and steady process, but the pain will be over sometime in June. Yes, June. I have a mental deadline. But today is blogContinue reading “What Is Women’s Fiction? And Why Do You Write That?”

Digging Deep
“A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is enabled by her scars.” —-Carly Simon Happy May! Check out my Foxglove!! Just purchased it at Home Depot and planted it under a kitchen window so I could see it rain or shine. Didn’t even know it was a perennial! I suppose you’veContinue reading “Digging Deep”
The Joy of New Perspectives
Ahh . . . April. Don’t want to see it go. Cool nights, warm days. Hard to stay indoors and write, but I have no choice. My passion calls me to sit in front of my laptop hour upon hour. Today’s schedule includes polishing a synopsis for my new book (working title – Relative Consequences) whichContinue reading “The Joy of New Perspectives”
An April Salute
Don’t you just love the month of April? The greening of everything? The pinks and lavenders in neighborhood yards? A blossoming tree capturing your attention as you turn a corner? My yard is coming to life as I speak. Every morning my dog, Bella, and I check to see what’s new. April is my favoriteContinue reading “An April Salute”

But as I promised myself, I will be blogging twice a month and including guest bloggers once a month into the summer. Today, I am happy and grateful to introduce aContinue reading “The Real Joy in Achieving a Dream”
The Heart of the Matter
This February is full of special days–Groundhog day, Super Bowl Sunday, President’s Day, Valentine’s Day (can’t you see the line of husbands at Publix holding bouquets and a heart-shaped box of not-so-great candy), and next week Mardi Gras and beginning of Lent. So it’s a pretty cool month. (No pun intended). Thinking specifically about loveContinue reading “The Heart of the Matter”
Being Resolute
A new year means hope that I can “be resolute,” which means to be determined, to be purposeful, and to be adamant. That I can do. It’s the beginning-of-the-year do-or-die resolution that bothers me. That I can’t do. The resolute part is easy; the other is hard. You know, like giving up chocolate, wine, orContinue reading “Being Resolute”
Gratitude Ya’ll
November is GRATITUDE month, but shouldn’t every month, day, minute be about gratitude. I think so. But I’m human and forget to thank the people I love and the God who made me for the little things as well as maybe a huge thing like breathing in and out. I forget that I should even be grateful. SoContinue reading “Gratitude Ya’ll”
