Don’t let your cash get away from you this summer. Join me Saturdays here at Portrait of a Writer…Interrupted and get a grip on your cash flow and start sharing your savings ideas. I don’t know about you, but I’m appalled at how quickly gas is rising, so I’m on a mission to think of…
Still Re-evaluating!
Even though I’m still re-evaluating if writing is something I should be doing at this time in my life, I am still very aware that I need to finish what I started. I’m going to make a concentrated effort to finish polishing my WIP in case the agent wants to see it. In fact I…

Spring Reading Thing 2008
I guess a good place to start is to list all the books I’m currently reading! Maybe if I finish them before summer, I’ll add some more to the list! Fiction: The Restorer by Sharon Hinck My Name is Russell Fink by Michael Snyder (It’s an advanced readers copy and soon be out if not…
Spring Cleaning!
Not only does my house need a spring cleaning hose down, so does my daily routine. It seems since Christmas I’ve been off schedule. The only thing on schedule is my exercise routine. Though if you looked at the scale you wouldn’t be able to tell. I keep putting my house and my daily chores…
Reevaluation
There’s a lot of things I need to reevaluate in my life. I sort of skipped the New Year’s Resolution/goal setting thing, and it’s time I take a real hard look at some of the areas in my life which have gotten out of balanced. Some of it is the same old, same old…too much…

At the New Year’s Eve party that my daughter Em gave for her friends, my son (age 12) was asked if he had any New Year’s resolutions. He thought a moment and then said, “Yeah. Eat a high fiber diet!” Wait a sec. Unless Pop Tarts are now considered a health food, I pretty much…
Christmas Break Goals
To edit the heck out of my WIP! I have a fool proof plan to get three hours of uninterrupted writing each day during break. Relax and read Put some photos in albums, scrapbook… (yes, I’m being vague about this because as I type I’m not wanting to stress about the stacks of photos, cds,…
Too Busy to Play
It seems that I’ve been so busy doing…(field trips, shopping, baking, blogging, laundry, cooking) that there hasn’t been much time to enjoy my family. There’s always something that needs to be done and being the choleric that I am, I usually make time to do it. Some of the things I do are really good.…
My Debut Novel
I want my first published novel to be amazing. Something worthy of one of those medals they put on the front of the really good books. I don’t want it to be something I cranked out that fits into a publishable mold. Reality check! If that’s the case I’ll probably be fifty before I’m published!…
