A Season of Waiting…
It’s been quiet here at Portrait of a Writer…Interrupted. Life has been busy, and well, frankly, I haven’t had much to say. Nothing profound or extraordinary has been happening in my writing or home life. Nothing that has any significance to my readers, anyway. In the quiet I’ve been waiting. Wondering. Wandering and praying for…

Dancing Shoes…
I finally did it! I’m about to cross off something on my bucket list and it involves dancing shoes! When I spent 3 1/2 weeks on the road one of the highlights for me was going swing dancing with Susie May Warren. Dancing with strangers was a little out of my comfort zone, but Susie…
It Slipped My Mind…
I had a really great post thought while driving today from school to home, or was it from home back to school. Of course, it could have been between one of my many errands, but the point is, it WAS A REALLY GOOD THOUGHT! I know I haven’t been blogging in a while, but I’m…
It's Show Time Again…
Aladdin: Awesome Jr. High production. I was really impressed with the talent and energy and of course, I was partial to Aladdin and that cute carpet!! The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: I lost track of how many times my oldest was Peter, but each year the plays a little different. Bravo to a…
Sometimes You Just Need Rest
Not sure where this blog is headed or where I’m going. Just not sure about much of anything anymore. Posting over here has dwindled to almost nothing, though life is busy. I’m still homeschooling and driving kids to play practice. Still struggling and questioning how long it’s going to take to reach the promised land.…

Fair Time…Can't Touch This…
I guess now that life is slowing down (LOL!) I have a moment or two (I should be homeschooling) where I can post some thoughts and pics. To be honest (and when am I not) I do most of my blurbing on Facebook, even twitter has gone to the wayside now that I use my…
And Action…Act II
I finally passed the 14,000 word mark and I’m on to Act I in my current WIP which would have been at 64,000 words if I didn’t scrap it and turn my Historical romance into Women’s fiction. Thanks, Susie! At first I was literally paralyzed to write when my romance wasn’t working. I had HALF…
I HATE Daily Weigh IN
Nothing frustrates me more than weighing in in the morning and seeing the scale go up when I seem to be doing everything right. I added more exercise this week…even ran TWICE which I hate. I worked out 5 out of seven days, kept my portions sizes low, eating mostly when I was hungry. Even…
