I thought I was done, the manuscript was done–oh, sure it would need a few tweaks maybe some edits after my beta readers read it…and then the LITERAL second I emailed it to them, plot holes and problems popped into my head one after the other. A veritable parade of problems and unfinishment (it’s a…

We’ve all had a typical work flow at one time or another in our jobs and careers, right? Well, why don’t we have a life flow? I mean, we do flow…r i g h t along with whatever current decides to carry us–we go with the flow. Or in some cases we do not flow,…

“Oh, good grief!” When I was younger my mom (and Charlie Brown) would say this a lot, it expressed much frustration and possibly the end of any kind of patience. In other words, it was not a good thing to hear these words. Now, I think of those words: “good grief” and have a new…

I was invited to a Bridal Shower. I had the gifts and the card, all I needed was something other than last years Christmas wrapping aka a gift bag. Have I ever told you how I hate to spend too much on things that might get thrown away? Like 7.99 on a birthday card…I don’t…

I was taking a walk and thinking about all the things I was doing and wondering if I was on the right path, and as I walked I said, “Okay God, show me a sign that I’m on the right path…show me a fox on my walk.” And then I immediately said to myself, you can’t…
