Bait and Switch

by
It’s hard to trust people anymore. Everyone seems to have an ulterior motive and find sneaky ways to prey on hopeful individuals. Lesson learned: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Huge Thank You
Words are not enough to convey how grateful I am for all of the support I’ve received upon the release of my book. That’s so weird to say. “My book.” It’s real. Yes, I’ve held it in my hands for several weeks now, but it still didn’t feel real because I was the only person…

Scrambled Brains and Bacon

by
My week has been exhausting. Only partially due to the impending book launch. That has taken up a lot of my brain space, but vying for attention has been injury (not mine), car trouble (not mine), appointments (not mine), ADHD (not mine), and general family scheduling. Last week, not only did Squirrel jam a finger…

Feeling adrift
I’ve journaled before about my concern regarding knowing who I am once my children leave the nest. I’ve made it a goal to find who I am apart from their mom. Without a job title that was easily definable, I was searching for a new title. I thought Author would be a good fit. And…

Waiting…
With my book off to beta readers I’m finding myself with a lot of free time on my hands. The hours I would spend writing, rewriting, reading, revising, and procrastinating have turned into a lot of spinning of wheels. I know there are several things that will need to be done to have everything ready…

Terror

As another step is nearing completion, the fear and terror are back. I expect to be done with Draft 3 by the end of the day. I have one scene to write (brand new scene) and then I’ll be calling it done. And that is absolutely terrifying. The next step is Beta Readers. Letting other…

On to Draft 3!
I’m back from a 2-week trip with my husband. The first three days was for just the two of us to explore a new city. Milwaukee was quite pleasant, if a little cold and windy. We were able to walk around downtown easily and enjoyed the architecture and atmosphere. We visited a brewery and craft…
