So the other day, my six-year-old got this evil/snarky grin on his face and asked to borrow my phone while I was kneeling on the ground playing with the baby. I probably should have known better, but I still handed it over. He switched on the camera and took a picture of something above me, […]
Five Links Friday 9/1/17
Hey, it’s long weekend for…to be honest, I don’t even know. But let’s celebrate anyway! Here are five links for ya. 1. Let’s start with a post by Rachelle M. N. Shaw at 10 Minute Novelists on How to Use Showing vs. Telling Effectively. 2. Adam Hughes at The Moonlighting Writer has a post with […]
Finding motivation when your heart’s not in it.
I have to admit that it’s sometimes hard to stay motivated. There are months where I feel like I’ve kept up on all of my writing goals, achieved a handful of minor successes, and even improved as a writer. But then there are also months where I feel like I’m a “writer” in the same […]

Five Links Friday 8/11/17
Well, we were out of town Wednesday and everybody in the house, including myself, came down with a yucky cold and sore throat, so…yuck. But at least we’re alive, and everything is back in business. So here we are with another Five Links Friday. Enjoy! 1. Here’s a great resource for small press and self-published […]
Is my attention span the problem?
I don’t know what the deal is. I write (or maybe it’s better said “work on writing stuff”) every day, but I just can’t seem to get out of a slump. I constantly feel like I’m not seeing enough progress, and no matter what I’m working on, it seems like I want to be working […]
