Gosh. I have writer problems. I fit less neatly into boxes than readers like. I can’t seem to control my need to blend these two genres. My fiction is almost as messy as real life. *wink* I love romance and read a lot of romance; the structure is very pleasing to my writer brain, but […]

I Don’t Know What I’m Doing. Here’s Why I Keep Showing Up Anyway.
Hey there! I hope this lovely holiday season is developing nicely for you. We’re happily making our holiday gifts, brainstorming ideas, getting the calendar squared away (huge, huge family) and probably already eating too much in the process. That’s just how fall seems to go around here; it gets rainy, I start making soups, and […]
Own Your Writing Career: Plan for Life to Happen
Yep, it’s happened again. I’m full stream in the middle of completing some of the largest goals I’ve ever set for myself, have multiple projects lined up out toward eternity…and life chooses now to remind me that I am a mortal human with physical needs, and with two children who ALSO have physical needs. Oh, […]

You’re one of those pop culture, conventional wisdom suckers, too! (We all are until we investigate further. That’s why it’s called conventional wisdom.) What are these culturally promoted payoffs of being […]
Sunday Update: Good Writing Week!
I was on vacation last week, and it shows in my word count. 🙂 Monday through Wednesday I was at a little cabin up in the woods with my two daughters and our dog (poor hubby had to work. Like LOTS of work.). The girls and I hiked, had movie night, and just played around. […]
Sunday Update: A Decent Week
It was a busy summer week, with kind of an odd-ball work schedule that had me in the office on my usual day off. We also went to Eugene for a sibling’s wedding reception and to stay over with my husband’s Dad and step-Mom. Adding to the swirl of excitement over the weekend was the […]
Published with Kobo’s Writing Life
My books are finally back up on Kobo. This was kind of an arduous process. Delisting from Smashwords seems to take FOREVER. And then Writing Life took like eight days to actually activate the title after I added it to their site. I didn’t count, so that might not be fair. But I have NO […]
