A Perfect Fit
Read more: A Perfect FitI’m trying to find a balance between writing the first draft of one manuscript and revising another. It’s not easy. And for the last few days I’ve hit a dry spot on both. Right now, that’s not an option. I have to have revisions done in a few weeks, and so it takes priority, but…

What Now?
Read more: What Now?Now that LATP is out on submission, I don’t dare stop. What I mean by that is I must move on to the next story. My dilemma, which one? I already have another story in the revision process which is taking me a little longer than I would like, but that is all right. I’m after a…

Delight Yourself in the Lord
Read more: Delight Yourself in the LordFor the last year I’ve been struggling with my writing. Between life getting in the way and the loss of my awesome critique partners due to their lives getting in the way of their writing, I’ve been floundering.

Search Me, O God

So, You Want to Be A Writer
Read more: So, You Want to Be A WriterWell, if you’re like most of us writers, it won’t happen overnight. So get that idea out of your head right now. If you’ve never taken on the task, it can be a little overwhelming, especially when you start hearing about HEAs, GMCs, H&H’s, Protags, Antags etc, etc,. But don’t worry. All you really need…

An Anxious Heart
Read more: An Anxious HeartIt’s been a long while since I’ve posted. I’m trying to work myself back into writing. The last few months have thrown me off track. I’ve found it difficult to open my writing files. And although I’ve preached to other writers about the necessity of just writing even if it is only journal writing, I haven’t…

A Rare Sighting
Read more: A Rare SightingI saw something last night that I don’t see much of around here anymore, unless of course the 4-H fair is in session. And by here, I mean in the city, not that Topeka is a big city but it’s the biggest in these here parts. I guess you’re wanting to know what it is…
