I think I can finally come down from the clouds now. I finished writing the sequel to Misfit McCabe late Monday night, and inside have been dancing on table tops ever since. It is a fantastic feeling when you put that final period of a manuscript on the page.
Recharging the Batteries
While it may appear that I have been not posting many messages of late, appearances can be deceiving. Since this past Saturday, I have been working almost exclusively on articles for the blog, but haven’t yet published any of them. The reason is that I have been been reading and reviewing books for the Lulu Book Review and now am … Read More
The Writing Super Puppy Bowl
Well, Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone once again. Two teams hit the field, and the battle wages for the next 3 hours or better, and at the end a team is named champion. What I didn’t understand is that although my plan didn’t actually involve watching the game this year, that I too would be waging a battle, … Read More
Stop Barking Already
For all you dog parents out there, listen up! Dogs bark. . .and we get mighty tired of trying to tell you something only to hear, “Will you stop barking already?” Barking is a dog’s form of communication. It allows us to alert you to when we feel that danger might be present, or when we need something to help … Read More
Snake Oil or Superfood, the Acai Berry revisited
We are always trying to find the quick fix to losing weight. I have been watching my web stats and noticed that my previous article on the Acai berry continues to be the most popular. I get information as to what search led the reader to my blog and there is a definite trend. The reason that article is so … Read More
Gearing up for the weekend
I’m still busy working on the sequel. I have not made as much progress the past couple days as I would have liked to, but every once in awhile you have to take a little break and recharge your imagination batteries. Mine have been working on overtime so, I really needed to slow down a bit. But with the weekend … Read More
Emotionally Drained
Friday on my way home from work, I was very excited because I had the weekend in front of me and I didn’t have any outside obligations, so I had a clear space in which to work on the sequel to Misfit McCabe. Now it is Sunday evening and I’m getting ready to call it a night. How did I … Read More
During a Break in Writing
I only have a few moments to post something because Mama is going to be back shortly and want to use the laptop again. She’s in the middle of writing the sequel to Misfit McCabe and when she’s in this mode I usually have to keep my paws off the laptop. Well, I just wanted to make a comment to … Read More
Message from a Reader
It is so nice to get a message from a reader who enjoyed your writing, especially when you weren’t expecting it. As a writer, you spend so much time writing the book, and all of your tender care has gone into the writing itself, and then things like picking a cover and trying to drum up some attention for it. … Read More

It’s Been Too Long
I can’t believe I finally got my paws on the laptop again. I’d better not waste any time, but get right into it. I hope everyone had a nice holiday. We had a good one, although, I do have to say, that I didn’t get the one thing I really wanted. In fact, I for it with all of my … Read More
Borders on the Slippery Slope
A local author walked into a bookstore. . . sounds like the beginning of a joke, doesn’t it. Well, what followed was a joke, but not in the least amusing for anyone involved. In our current economic times, good customer service is increasingly important to help maintain the customer base. As a consumer, I’m making my purchases much more cautiously … Read More
