Thanks for sticking around this week. I usually update more than twice a week as you all know, but things are crazy around here. I ended up caving in and I’m doing Easter here Sunday. Since I’ve been writing (yay!), my house is the pits so I should stay home and clean today, but I…

This Program Isn’t Working Properly
My blogger hasn’t been working but I’ve been so busy this week! I’m no longer mom, I’m chauffer! And since I’m still having formatting issues, I thought I’d share some of my daughter’s photographs. I really like these.
Me and Emerson
What is it about human nature that makes us want to fit in? You join this group or that one… you hope each time the fit will be right. I’ve spent most of my life like this. Searching for Like so I didn’t feel alone. Some of us, no, most of us, really don’t fit…
Funny Test
Took it several times and got the same answer. ROFL!!! Hippie You are 14% Rational, 57% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 28% Arrogant. You are the Hippie! Characterized by a strong sense of extroversion, irrationality, gentleness, and humility, you no doubt frolic through fields preaching peace and free love! Immediately following that, you then frolic to…
Jack Craddock
I had planned to do a part two with more instrumental pieces, but my heart is sad today. It is National Poetry Month and I had planned to showcase different poets off and on. I hope it’s okay with Jack that I showcase him today. My stint in the local poetry scene was brief, but…
The Write Mood

I would give them a beginning sentence then everyone would write while the music played. Each person’s reaction was emotionally individual and some…
Two Posts– One Day
Well, as you can tell from my other post, I’m not having much of a day. Discovered another review of my story, Retribution, and this one is harsh. I tell new writers all the time to have thick skin– that it’s very important in this business. I’ve been told bad things about my writing in…
Parenting Stuff Today
Sometimes this job is so hard. I’m nuts about my children. So nuts I have trouble getting them in trouble when they don’t do what they’re supposed to. I always feel sorry for them, but I know I have to be tough and all that. For instance, my daughter must have come down this morning,…
Jill’s Book is Out!
Share the Darkness by Jill Monroe is finally in stores! Jill is a friend and fellow member of the Oklahoma Romance Writers of America. Here’s a little about this white-hot, romantic story: Hannah Garrett has always felt safe in the dark. It meant she never had to show people the truth. On the run from…
National Poetry Month
Image by Hannes digicam.coza – Users Subterranean Thought by me Ground dweller, Seeking answers In the landscape of being. Trapped under a canopy Of idealism. Unfold a repertoire Gone yellow and brittle. Skim the middle words. A foray, one might think Into something new. Spend the afternoon hours Immersed, In the mysticism of a carrot….
