Getting Real
Obama & Abortion: What do you Think?
I don’t want to be throwing around false information, if it’s not true, but these videos are very compelling. WARNING! GRAPHIC VIDEO OF ABORTED BABIES! I dare you not to be moved after watching this! I really wanted to put the video here on my blog, but thought the still image was too much for…
Things Are Changing!
Seems like things are changing (packing up and cleaning house) and along with that my blogging habits HAVE to change. Per hubby’s request and my inner conviction, I have to drop some commitments and really limit my time blogging. I hope to figure out a schedule soon, but I’m ready for this change. It’s where…
Dear God, What’s Going on Here!
Are you sure you’ve got your timing write? Not off by a year or two, are you? I thought you wanted me to homeschool this year, well come to think of it, did I even ask you? Probably not, I just thought, no, felt in my heart, it was the right thing to do. I…
My Take on Universal and All Things Disney
Before I blog about my personal experience at Universal/Islands of Adventure (which was great by the way,) I need to get some things off my chest. If each park would tithe I really believe they could feed the WORLD! It’s incredible how much money they rake it. Mind you, I have no idea what it…
Confession Time
I guess those of you who read regularly have noticed my Sunday and Wordful Wednesday post have been lacking. Mainly because I’ve been lacking a Word for the Lord, mainly because I haven’t spent quality time listening. Sure I pray daily, read my Bible, though not everyday, and only listen to Christian music, but as…
I’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…
What Would You Do?
I have the opportunity to attend a Cecil Murphy mentoring clinic and I sort of have the money. I was saving up for ACFW, which I still plan on attending, but I put the money toward this mentoring clinic with this amazing author. Haven’t heard of him? That’s because he’s ghost written a gazillion books…
Summer Savings Ideas #3
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…
So Many Requests. So Little Time!
ICRS interviews. Book reviews and promotions. Blog tours. Product reviews. I’d love to say yes to them all, but I have to be very selective. I’m feeling the pressure and stress and it’s really not necessary. I can say “no.” I will say “no.” I must say “no.” I’ll will have to weigh each request…
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…
