I’ve long deleted the message, but a few years ago I was told via a text from someone I thought I was close to that I had no accomplishments of my own, so I was hanging on to those made by others as if they were mine. In reality, I was extremely happy for this […]

Stuff I’ve written about life in general.
The end of a season
Earlier today, I finally took down my Christmas decorations. I have friends who take them down on the 26th of December. They are quite religious with it too. The holiday is over and they are done with Christmas. I have friends that leave them up as long as they can bear. One year, I was […]
Cats
I have a love for cats. I always have. When I was growing up, my family only had two cats as household pets. We had a cat named Tigger when I was a baby, so I don’t remember him much. The other cat we had was a rough and tumble gray burly thing my mother […]
Write Your Own Story
I recently was asked by a good friend why I often use the hash tag #writeyourownstory on my various social media posts. It started out as just a simple phrase that I typed into one of my novels in a moment of inspiration. I didn’t plan it out, I just wrote the words and they […]

They SSSSUUUUCCCCKKK!!!” “A true fan would know all the characters who participated in that one battle in *insert random book title here*. If you don’t know what *insert miniscule tertiary character* did in the battle, how can you say *insert author’s name* is one […]
Walking
Whenever possible, I prefer to walk. I do drive. I know how to and I will do it on occasion. I have a driver’s license. I just don’t like driving as much as I like using my own two feet. Plus the hubby loves to drive, so I let him. It helps that my workplace […]
Dealing with Doubts
Occasionally, I have one of those days where it seems I can’t shake a fog. I suffer, quite often, from self doubt. I fight off the feelings that I am not good enough. I fight off feelings that I can’t do anything right. I fight, sometimes unsuccessfully, with feelings that no one cares what I […]
Inspirations
My fiction is my own, but I can’t say that I am not inspired by a number of things I am inspired by the nature around me, As I watch a sunset or a sunrise, I try to think how it can be depicted in words that would convey the same picture that I see. […]
