What are you trying to do?
I belong to a number of writing groups on the interwebs through various social medias. Sometimes, I read on them questions like: When did you know you were a writer? or How did you become a writer? I often don’t know how to answer that question because I think I was always a writer. But […]
A tragedy anywhere….
As you probably have already seen, debris from the Titan submarine has been found and all five men aboard the tourist vessel have been declared dead, killed in a likely implosion. Two were billionaire tourists who were considered adventurers. One was the nineteen-year-old son of one of those tourists who was terrified to take the […]
Passing the Baton
Dawn had passed the baton to me for Marla’s Pass the Baton Story Challenge for June https://marladragon.wordpress.com/2023/06/01/10032/and since I am always up for a writing challenge…. I accepted. For those unfamiliar with this, every author here has written another portion of the story. Rules and such can be found here: This is how it started, […]
Let It Go
Anger can be used as a powerful tool. When it is justified, it can be used to move mountains, to change atrocities, to right wrongs. But far too often, we hang on to things mentally and physically that fester. We dwell on past wrongs that will never be made right. We harbor resentment for things […]
Walk a mile
I’ve been doing a great deal of thinking about life, the universe, and everything lately. And since this is my forty-second year and that number is the answer to the question nobody knows, I’m in a bit of a quandary. Douglas Adams’ references always make me giggle.

Keeper of Stories
I haven’t written about one of my novellas in a bit. In fact, it was way back in February that I wrote the blog post about Child of the Sage, when I offered that one for free (HEY-if you downloaded it, read it – I could use some more reviews!). And since I am at […]
Let your roots grow wide
In college, I had the opportunity to travel from Orange County, California to San Francisco for a weekend for my California History and Government class. One of our stops was the John Muir Woods National Monument, where I got the opportunity to see redwood trees for the first and only time so far in my […]
Didn’t go as planned
One of my favorite quotes about life is something I’ve posted a few times before. “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” ~John Lennon, “Beautiful Boy” I say that to myself every time things don’t go as planned. For instance, yesterday (or Friday, if you are reading this blog later […]
Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Arms
It’s Pride month. Now, I don’t jump on the bandwagon of acceptance and mark everything I do up in rainbow flags and jump up and down. Nor do I publicly shame anyone who is anywhere on the alphabet that makes up the symbolic nature of Pride like some do. Neither one of those stances work […]
