I’ve been absent for a while, but a nice opportunity arose today to jump back to my blog. Lauralynn Elliott tagged me in a little game of eleven questions. I’m going to participate in the first part, answering the questions she posed on her blog, but I’m not going to pass it along. Her questions, […]
Finally on Facebook
It took my best friend asking why I didn’t have an author page to get my hiney in gear on this one. She pointed out that for many, it is the preferred way to communicate about things they like — so not being there I was missing out on opportunities to connect. I took her […]

Mid-Week Update: Boy Am I Glad It’s Wednesday
Hi there. It’s Wednesday, which for me means my last day commuting to my office for the week. The trip is fifty miles — one way — so it’s a major blessing that I’m able to work from home two of my workdays. But by Wednesday night, I’m whipped. That’s why I usually avoid my […]
Round of Words in Eighty Days: My Goal (Singular)
Hello there! So happy to be back for my fourth round of ROW80, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. The past two rounds I’ve shot way too high. Although I’m making a ton of progress, my lofty goals are making me feel more and more behind. So it’s time for a reality […]
