I lamented that my friends probably wouldn’t have the time to help me get Humans ready for publication. Holy crap was I wrong. No less than seven people stepped up and read through the story, Typos were caught, emotion miscues recued, and most importantly, I know that newbies can pick this up and follow along. I’ll […]
So here I am, trying to do all that last minute Christmas stuff, and in the middle of it, I decide to revamp Humans just a few days before it’s due to Amazon. I sent out the word, begging my friends to give it a once over. I’m hoping people have the time, but I’m […]
So, I was trying to prove a point, that even if you don’t know about tropes, you still use them. And I went over a friend’s chapter, literally listing tropes as I went.

So very, very little writing is going to happen […]
For perhaps the first time in my life, I am thankful for Snow. Being the baker at Thanksgiving means I went to town today. Two pies (apple and pumpkin), banana bread, prepped a bread pudding for tomorrow, and made a pound of fudge. But a heavy snow fall had the kids outside despite school being cancelled, […]
