Giving Back
Butchering chickens, wildcrafting, soap making, pressure canning, making herbal tinctures and supertonics–I’m fascinated by these basic survival skills, but primarily, I’m a homeschooling mom who loves to write. Meaning, I’m busy already and have plenty to learn! But to learn, one needs a teacher. Books and online resources can be excellent initiators to a subject,…

Don’t know why it took me so long to get a burden for praying for the upcoming election, but I’ve got one. Maybe it’s because I’ve been trying to stay neutral with all the crazy media stuff out there. I know whom I’m voting for and I won’t be swayed, but there’s so many out…

Read MoreFiction Friday: Where’s My WIP?
Heard from my agent that I got four “no thank yous” from editors/publishing houses on my WIP, BUT there’s still several houses that have it, and he likes what the editors have been saying about it.
