I took the afternoon off of work because I have far too much life stuff to do at the moment. A very dear friend is getting married in four weeks, so the next two weekends are full of festivities to celebrate her single life, and that which lies beyond — marriage. 🙂 I think our […]

Sunday Update: The Editing Life
Hi again, fellow writers and readers. This will be a short update, as we have a busy day full of family events. Editing is a funny game. Let’s be real. How much do I have to say? Not much. 🙂 A few weeks ago I pulled a whole section out of the novel I’m editing. […]
The First Rose
When I saw this beauty getting ready to bloom a few days ago, I knew it was special, and just for me. My favorite rose bloomed first. Here’s a picture of that bloom now. I wish I’d caught it yesterday, but I was too busy drawing a farm with my kids, and blowing more bubbles. […]
Eleven Random Questions
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, […]
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 […]

Sunday Update
I hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend. It’s our annual family get-together with one section of the family, so I’m at a vacation house in Sunriver, Oregon with lots of family. Fun times. It’s really fun to watch these folks with my kids, since they don’t get to see each other very often. […]
Mid-Week Update and New Goal
I’m really happy to have progress to report in the middle of the week! I still didn’t write on Monday — I was under the weather and just not in the mood. LOL. But on Tuesday I wrote 1,800 words, so I’ve still managed to keep up with my cumulative goal. I’ve written the first […]
Sunday Update
This was one of those weeks where life throws curveballs. Not anything life-changing, but roadblocks in the way of getting to MY stuff, like writing. I set a goal to write 500 words a day, but I still managed to write just two days this week. However, when I did write I accomplished a lot […]
