This is where I have been, and where I continue to live…editing and re-writing. And editing and re-writing. And editing and ruminating about how to re-write some more. #thestruggleisreal when it comes to hacking apart something you wrote with your heart! One day, the next draft will be done. Until then, I’m reading the next chapter…
One of the things is not like the other…one of these things just doesn’t belong (like this in my silverware drawer 😂). Happy trails and have a great Thursday!

Don’t be the person in the middle! 🙂 Also…asking a writer “when are you going to be published” or “how come you aren’t a best seller yet” are sure-fire ways to get the stink eye. Perhaps a right hook. 😉 I got started again editing and then put it down. It’s hard to pick it…
This week I’m pleased to have dusted off my writer and editor hats and have worn them both! Not for my novel-length WIP, though. I participated in a one-hour challenge with my writing group and came up with a story that needs some finesse and a better ending. In general the feedback it received is it…

The other week we were gathered in the kitchen after dinner – me, hubby, Big Dude, Little Man and my in-laws. My father-in-law stepped into the garage to take some food to the overflow refrigerator and shut the door behind him. (Little Man is lightning fast and LOVES to play out there.) Well, it turns…
Me: Writing Mo-Jo is back! And it’s Spring Break! Writing Mo-Jo: Woo-hoo! Time with the boys. Inspiration! Me: All three kids at home! I’m a little intimidated by the first time with all three at home, but we’ll set reasonable goals (kids fed and uninjured, house standing at 6:30)! Writing Mo-Jo: Woo-woo? All day with…
It’s a LATE #WriterMemeMonday post, but here it is! There’s a lot to juggle these days with Baby Boy in the house… So if there’s someone out there who would like to make my edits and draft the manuscript that’s unfolding in my head…. Please send them my way! 😉 *** How about you? What’s…
