This morning, a wonderful thing happened and, like most wonderful things, I’m pretty sure it’s also a bat shit crazy. You see, I was trying to think of something to write about in this blog today, since I’ve already done a writer’s quote, I have no books finished, and it’s still not Friday (WHY NOT??).…

“The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems.” -J.W. Goethe …or stories, for that matter. I love this quote so incredibly much. Everyone who reads me regularly knows about my affliction with W.A.D.D., making it pretty damn hard for me to be…

Though I can’t remember the details of it anymore, I woke up this morning with the trails of a dream that could have made a good story. I’m a little disappointed that everything between waking up and sitting in front of my computer to write this blog has eradicated most of the detail, but I…

There is definitely no lack of posts that need to be written in the new year, that’s for sure! Several days ago, the wonderful Susan Howard has awarded me a Kreativ Blogger award (and the “kreativ” spelling of the award never fails to make me giggle). Kreativ‘s a pretty important thing for a writer, so…

My breakfast this morning was a cup of coffee (a little milk, a lot of raw sugar) and a slice of cold five-meat (yes, five!), the latter balanced on my knee as I read through a few pages of the current book I’m trying to blow through for my 100 Books project, perched on my…

Yesterday was one of those days that show up and make me realized exactly how much I want to be a writer. After a long, stressful weekend pushing the sales market, it felt so incredibly fulfilling to just spend a day, working on my craft, writing up a storm, maintaining the housework, and reading through…
