One Bathroom Down, Two to Go!
Okay, I’m ready to start remodeling the next bathroom, but my husband isn’t. After all, he’s the one that did all the painting and tiling and vanity installing. But I’m still doing my part. The research! Specifically, bathroom vanities. Our current master bathroom is atrocious. Plain ugly off white counter tops with white painted over…
If Tomorrow Never Comes by Marlo Schalesky
I’ve never read a book by Marlo Schalesky, but I met her at ICRS 2008. What is it about meeting an author in person that makes you want to run out, buy the book and read it from cover to cover. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to crack the cover yet. Too many good books,…

I couldn’t resist uploading this podcast of my six year old singing “True Love’s Kiss” from Enchanted.
The waiting
We as writers are no different than anyone else when it comes to waiting, are we? Last week I noticed the slight brush of that very auspicious thing we call inspiration. The idea toyed with me all day, vague and mysterious, as I sat biting my pen and straining to put it down. Waiting, waiting, waiting.
I have 33 Unfinished Drafts in My Blog…
How many do you have? I usually, at least, draft a title with a bit of info about what I plan on writing, but I’m thinking I need to go through and weed some of those out. Sometimes the moment passes you by and the wit and wisdom of the moment is gone, never to…
A Must Read: The Passion of Mary-Margaret by Lisa Samson
It’s rare that a book pulls me into the story, the life of the character so intensely I actually feel everything the character does. It’s rare I cry while reading, but when I do you can bet the book’s a keeper. The Passion of Mary-Margaret is one such book. The voice hooked me from the…
