Inventive Writing Prompt Round-up #23

Hey, we made it to 2015! Woot woot! I know its going to be a great year because New Year's day was the best first day of the year ever around here. I got some work done on my novel rewrite in the morning, watched the Ducks annihilate the FSU Seminoles in the afternoon, and […]

So Long, Farewell, Auf Weidersehen Goodnight to 2014

(In case you don't know–what, you've lived under a rock for the last umpteen years? Kidding, just kidding–my title is a take-off of a song from The Sound of Music, the best musical of ALL TIME, and no I'm not talking about the stupid rip-off live version with Carrie Underwood in it.) This is the […]

Inventive Writing Prompt Round-up #22

Here we are again, having survived (I hope) Christmas 2014. Maybe you're like me and still a bit foggy from so much going on and, oh yeah, the sugar content of every single thing we eat this time of year. Maybe, like me, you're feeling a bit disconnected from your writing. If not, more power […]

Goals Words

Three Words for 2015

I'm a bit late with my words this year. It's sort of because they have been rolling around in my head and sort of because I was doing other things and not thinking about it. But here we are at last. We got here. Or more to the point, I got here. At least […]

Distraction Morning Routine

Wednesday Within: How I Get Derailed (You, Too?)

My brain looks like these Christmas lights some mornings. Another title for this post might be Why You Need a Routine. Or more to the point, why I need one. Here's the setup: A morning in December.

This is a post about cookies. Yes, cookies. Christmas cookies, even!

I was tagged by my purple-haired Twitter friend Kristina Martin (we live across the river from each other but have never met in person–one of these days, I hope we will) to participate in a Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop. My first thought was that I don't do this kind of thing. This is a […]
