Libraries are one of those wonderful places that I have amazing memories of, both from my childhood and as an adult. Summer reading programs and finding a new book you’ve never read before. Getting a new library card to put in your tiny purse at the age of ten. I hope we all have memories like that. There’s a lot … Read More

Why I’m an Expert at Getting Bad Smells Out of Carpet
Sorry for the slight break in posts. It’s been one of those weeks. *** Warning Mommy Graphicness in this Post *** So I had thought my son was beginning to outgrow his acid reflux. He’d gone from medication morning and night to just at night, and recently his nightly dose was decreased by half. Then Sunday happened. For those of … Read More

When good writing gets in the way of your writing…

She said that if she had a really busy week she’d have to make a point of not visiting the library so that she could actually get stuff done. I think for me personally I’m going to have to go one step farther and … Read More
The Strange Workings and Writings of a Mind that Skips Too Far Ahead of Itself
“Wow. I tell you what— wow!” I just read over a document I’d labelled as ‘Science Project Novel’. Looking at the info on my computer I typed it up almost two years ago. Apparently my brain jumped faster than my fingers could type because it makes no sense at all. If you’re a writer of any sort you’ll understand that sometimes … Read More
How on Earth did I keep my head in the sand that long?
So three days ago I ‘discovered’ goodreads. I know I know. Right? How does an author not know about goodreads. Well suffice it to say that I’d heard it mentioned many times in reference to other authors or agents (or the like). When I would see the term ‘goodreads’ I simply thought of other sites where it’s a small number … Read More
