Tidbits with Timmy: Brotherly Love
Memories: Jan 28, 2004 Brotherly Love Today instead of going to the gym like I do every M/W/F, Timmy and I snuggled in bed. It was too cold to drag the kids outside (that was my excuse on Monday) and I was a bit lazy and too comfortable in bed. While watching Sesame Street we…
Read MoreTechnically Challenged Seeks Help!
I have to admit. I’m behind the times a bit when it comes to the computer and other technology. Not as bad as my own mom, but I’m still lagging! After doing some research I finally got around to getting a ZUNE last year. Don’t ask me how long it took me to figure out…
Read MoreWriting on Tablets
I was sitting at my computer trying to accomplish some writing goals. I read the same paragraph I had just written several times, not because it needed to be edited that many times, but because every time I would almost complete reading it, one of my children would come into the room. One needed…
Read MoreHaving a Mary Heart in Martha World by Joanna Weaver
I struggle with being a Martha. My mind is always going with things I should be doing. It’s hard to just rest, especially hard to just rest before the Lord, but I know it is soooo needed, especially if I’m to do and be all he has called me to do and be. Then why…
Read MoreA Beautiful Morning by Anthony Conroy

Thursday was supposed to be the rain date for party. Supposed to be 40% showers. So I emailed everyone asking if Sunday would be better,…

A friend and I were talking. She was telling me how annoyed she got one day last week. The story went like this. Monday was a beautiful day, so she decided to get a car wash. Her white car shone in the bright summer sun—clean down to the white wall tires. She was so proud…

Read MoreI’ve Got a Bone to Pick up Here on my Soap Box!
Nothing frustrates me more than reading a book filled with lazy writing. I’m talking about dialogue tags and telling. So and so “said eagerly, or demanded or protested,” so and so “felt defensive, violated, etc.” Anyone whose been studying the craft of writing for some time will tell you to nix the dialogue tags when…
