Writer Meme Monday: Ven Diagram of a Writer’s Self Control
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…
Writer Meme Monday: The Truth About Writing
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…
Writer Meme Monday: Aaaaand Writing FAIL.
This was me, today at one o’clock. Actually, probably more like ten a.m. See, I signed up for Fiction War (a flash fiction challenge) with all intentions of writing a story! Writing something! And using the $$ I shelled out as incentive to get it done. Sadly, that was money down the drain. One evening…
Six Word Story Challenge: Outcast

Life in the Mom Lane: Toddlers vs. Locks, Part II
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…
Writer Meme Monday: Working From Home With a Full House
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…
Writer Meme Monday: Editor Wanted
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…
Writer Meme Monday: Getting Back in a Groove
In line with my previous pregnancies & postpartum experiences, once the baby is born a switch is flipped and creativity floods back. That doesn’t make getting back into a groove of writing and editing any easier! Once you’re out of the habit, it is a bit like getting back into an exercise routine. Daily practice and small,…
The Mom Who Runs…Takes a Break.
My regular readers have probably noticed the missing book reviews of the past couple of weeks. I’m still reading and mentally making notes, and the pile of to-reads mounts at a faster pace than the “have reads,” so I’m not without material! What can I say? Life happens. Baby Boy arrived almost two weeks early from…
