What is a book without a title? A collection of words that no one will read because they don’t know what to call it. I have completed writing the sequel to Misfit McCabe and am in the editing process. I have been struggling with the editing part because the book has lacked a title. You would think that someone who … Read More
Smelling the Roses
As I was leaving for work this morning in my usual rush, I went down the steps and rounded the corner to head for the car. All of a sudden after I had just passed them by, the words “take time to smell the roses” popped into my head. And, uncharacteristially, I stopped. What probably triggered that thought was that … Read More
Facebook – Warming Up
I am warming up a little to Facebook. A lot of that has to do with finding more friends on Facebook than I was able to before. I am still frustrated by some of the restrictions with the site, but doing better. The thing that helped the most was having people from my high school alumni site start telling people … Read More

Let’s Read
I can’t believe that it’s almost over and I almost missed it! March 2nd is NEA (National Education Association) Read Across America day, which focuses on motivating children to read. The date for the celebration was chosen to coincide with the birthday of that childhood favorite Dr. Suess. (It’s ok, you can still like Dr. Suess as an adult. . … Read More
Celebration Dance
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
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
