I think part of the reason I put off getting back into writing was because I was scared. I worried what people would think. Not so much whether or not it was any good, but the subject matter and the language. I gravitate toward the dark side, and my stories tend to show that inContinue reading “F is for Freaks Letting Their Freak Flags Fly”

Editing – Boy, Does It Ever Stink
Even though I’ve been writing for a long time now, up until the last year or so it’s been on again, off again. So in no way do I consider myself experienced. I wrote my first novella in 2000. I finished the rough draft for my second one 06/15/12. I’m still not done editing andContinue reading “Editing – Boy, Does It Ever Stink”
Dreams – Sleep Paralysis and The Old Hag
I’ve always been fascinated by dreams. I can still remember a couple of my dreams from early childhood, and several from different points in my life. I’ve always wondered what placed certain people and places into your dreams, and I find it extraordinary how much about dreams is still unexplained. I’ve had dreams that were:Continue reading “Dreams – Sleep Paralysis and The Old Hag”
C is for Comedy – Why I Love Stand Up
Does this picture make you smile? Does it make you groan? It’s OK either way, there’s no wrong answer. I love to laugh, so it makes sense that I love comedy. Who wouldn’t? Besides, laughter is good for you. People way smarter than me have proven it, so if you don’t believe me, visit aContinue reading “C is for Comedy – Why I Love Stand Up”
BUGS – The Goldenrain Tree Bug is the Bane of My Existence
See the pretty tree in this picture? This is a Goldenrain tree. It’s a very colorful tree, starting in the spring with tiny yellow blossoms (golden rain) that give way to little pinkish-orange pods (seen in the above picture), which contain tiny little black seeds. In the fall the green leaves turn a vibrant yellowContinue reading “BUGS – The Goldenrain Tree Bug is the Bane of My Existence”
A is for Award!
I was beginning to stress about April’s A-Z Challenge, being such a pro-level procrasinator, when I read Brooke Devereaux‘s news that she had been nominated for a Liebster Award. I then read on her blog that part of accepting the award involved not just giving some information about yourself by way of questions from theContinue reading “A is for Award!”
Indecision, Second-Guessing, and Procrastination
I decided to slightly alter the header on the blog so that it now says “(self?)Publication”. Here’s why: Since I now have two works that are nearly ready for prime time, I spent some time this week researching the self-publication process, even going as far as designing a peliminary cover for one of them. IContinue reading “Indecision, Second-Guessing, and Procrastination”
Am I Crazy??
I wonder sometimes. I’ve gotten back into this writing thing, but it’s hard. It kind of reminds me of exercise: it’s a pain in the butt, but if you stick with it you’ll be glad you did in the end. But keeping up the routine is quite a challenge, and something I have to convinceContinue reading “Am I Crazy??”
A Little Experiment…
If you’re reading this, congratulations! You’ve managed to find my very first blog post, so either you were determined to read everything you could about me or you are incredibly bored. But hey, who am I to judge? The blog will probably be a bit sporadic at first, as I’m still trying toContinue reading “A Little Experiment…”
