Yesterday, I attended a writer's conference, something I don't typically do. You know, because there are other humans there and that's kind of a "no" from me. But, I decided a couple of months ago, that part of my commitment mantra for 2019 was to step out of my...

I feel like I plan well. However, I am finding that I am completely clueless on some things. For example, this writing workshop that I am attending tomorrow. You know, the one where I am pitching my book to two literary agents. The one where I might vomit on them...

I like to think of myself as an effective communicator. Clearly I am delusional. Last night, Brian and Bailey went to see a movie. It was after dinner, so I told Brian that Bailey could have dessert there. Now, Bailey thinks that dessert covers anything that the...

Yesterday, I was typing away on my book-in-progress when the telephone rang. Normally, I ignore it when I am in the groove but the caller ID revealed it was the agency that supplies my mother's caregiver. When I see the name on the display, it is like having a form of...

Last night, I met with my soul sister aka writer friend, who is keeping me on task, and generously taking time to read the first draft of my novel. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I find myself eager to see how this book ends. As I continue to travel the journey of...
