It was quiet yesterday. No demanding calls from my mother. No inquiries from my youngest on how to construct an email that "doesn't sound angry" but gets the point across. It was heaven. I managed to get in the zone and collaborate with my hosts of characters living...

Yesterday, I had a plan. The plan revolved around upping my word count as I am several thousand from my goal. My self-imposed deadline for getting the completed manuscript sent to the interested literary agents is July. The road to success is paved with good...

Can we agree that many times social media can actually be positive? I mean, take away the opinion pieces like politics or the unicorn posts where everything in Stacey's life - spouse/kids/pets are so "amazing", it can be a pretty nice platform. Oh, wait, I forgot the...

My bones are tired. My body feels like it was run over by a small army of horses and I am exhausted. But, it was all worth it. The wedding of my nephew and his beautiful bride is in the books and what a party it was. We danced and danced and danced some more. We...
