Friendship is a valuable thing. I have always valued my friendships even though I need a lot of time alone. I googled Friendship poems and a poem by Shel Silverstein titled Hug O’ War was suggested. Now, I’m not a huge fan of hugs outside of my close friends and family but I thought thisContinue reading “Friendship”

I’ve Put World Building Off for Long Enough!
It’s time to develop my world! There were some things I was putting off until later, and world-building was one of them. I am now ready to think about what makes the secret community within my story tick. So the first thing I had to do was think about what I know. Then I askedContinue reading “I’ve Put World Building Off for Long Enough!”
Spirit Animals
“In certain spiritual traditions or cultures, spirit animal refers to a spirit which helps guide or protect a person on a journey and whose characteristics that person shares or embodies. It is also metaphor, often humorous, for someone or something a person relates to or admires.” Do you have a spirit animal? Mine is definitely the tortoise.Continue reading “Spirit Animals”
Solitude and I
Solitude is a good friend of mine. I especially love when I’m feeling relaxed and there’s no socializing required for me. Zero communication. Relaxed mind, body, and spirit; now that is Heaven on Earth. I know that in those moments, I’m in a good healthy place. There was time, I wouldn’t allow myself to reachContinue reading “Solitude and I”
Dr. Suess
Before I knew anything about Roald Dahl, I loved me some Dr. Seuss. I think I loved Dr. Seuss for longer than I should have. I wasn’t the best childhood reader, but that didn’t take away my joy for reading Dr. Suess. I’m reminded about Suess because lately my little one has been talking aboutContinue reading “Dr. Suess”

What technology do you use to write? I’m a Microsoft Word user. I appreciate their “Read Aloud” feature, so I can hear what I write. This feature doesn’t work so well with creative writing like prose and poetry, but it works for most other types of content. I also enjoy using AI. I will quoteContinue reading “Writing Tech”
Writers Life and Uncertainty
I am someone who struggles with uncertainty. I’ve missed many events because I didn’t know or understand what was going to happen. Agendas, guest lists, and syllabi all significantly lower my anxiety. It’s funny, before I realized that those things give me peace, I would get frustrated when people would ask questions about events IContinue reading “Writers Life and Uncertainty”

I am looking forward to this weekend. There’s some fun things going on in my novel. Connections and details can finally come together. I have the weekend to play with some different scenarios and I will ask myself, is it time to begin working on my prose? I’ve been saving that for last. I justContinue reading “TGIF”
These Hoof Videos
I don’t know what it is but these hoof cleaning videos always grab my attention. Some of these beautiful animals get long sharp things impaled in their hooves. It causes abscess and it looks to sad and painful. I don’t always have it in me to watch the ones where the animal is hurt butContinue reading “These Hoof Videos”
