  • June 2023 Reads

    I had. a good reading month. I read wonderful books and felt like I read a lot. I read two Abby Jimenez books. The first was PART OF YOUR WORLD, and the second was YOURS TRULY. I enjoyed both. Abby’s writing is approachable and she does a good job of discussion topics that are reflective

  • I wanted to write this blog post because it’s been a concept I’ve been grappling with for a long, long while. While I could go on a long diatribe about Capitalism and why we are shaped to act and be how we are, I want to avoid getting too far down that rabbit hole. Instead

  • May 2023 Reads

    It seems like I read a lot over the last month, but I don’t have a lot to show for it. It’s because I did read a lot over the last month….and there isn’t much I can show for it because a lot of it was my own work OR for my internship. Let’s just

I’m going to give you a little story on my entryway into learning about becoming published. I have always loved story telling (that is for another post on

  • I know all three of you who read this are waiting for my overdue reading post. Good news! Here it is! I want to start by saying that I moved in early March, which made for an opportunity to pack while listening to audio books. But then we ended up with COVID, which gave me

  • January 2023 Reads

    It was a good reading month for me despite many distractions. Want me to share? No? Too bad, it’s my blog. First, my family is moving. My life will be chaos for the foreseeable future. I also spent time in Florida at my parent’s house. It was 10 days solo parenting ( a trip to

  • Fiction vs. Fact

    Today I received a email from a writing friend. She was curious how much of my real life I put in my stories after she was questioned about the premise of her story and the inspiration for it (from a non-author). Honestly, the question triggered a rage in me I try to tamper. But I’ve
