It's funny I don't remember how I got roped into this Half-madness Full insanity Hordes of people in neon running shoes and princess tutus ribbons fluttering at the start ball-gowns and blinking tiaras All thrown to the curb by mile five With a 3am alarm Long shuttle rides and Hours in a crowded corral all before it even begins Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Running instinctual therapeutic Something in your blood begins singing It's all breathing and pounding feet 13.1 The night ... View Post
Project List for February 2014
Yep. Behind. :P Boy this month is kicking my butt already! (Half the office is out this week, meaning I have to work full time instead of part time and can't take any time off, one of the grandmas is out of town as well, meaning I have one less babysitter, and I'm supposed to be running a half-marathon in ten days and have only reached 4 miles in my training... *hyperventilates*... *channels calm*... okay anyway, let's continue, shall we?!) Let's see if I can scrape things together and get ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: An excerpt from Chapter 20 of "The Good Thing", the WIP novel.
I wasn't really going to post any more snippets of the novel, but I recently had a rather nice request for more, and because I'm a softie, I have relented. Lol. This piece is from Chapter 20, the chapter I am currently writing. However, I actually wrote this back in November, and it's still one of my favorite scenes of the entire project to date. When I went back to reread and decide what to post today, I had to share this one. And honestly, seriously... I don't remember writing this AT ALL! Ha! ... View Post
Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for January 2014
Someone once said that to be a successful and productive writer, one had to do the equivalent of “cutting bait, fishing, and reeling ‘em in, all at the same time”! This translates to writing as working on projects-in-progress while at the same time submitting completed projects to potential markets and also continuing to cultivate new ideas for future projects. In case you missed my previous post on this subject, at the end of every month I compile a list of what I accomplished as far as ... View Post

Writing Prompt Wednesday: "Begin", an original poem.
You know, I wasn't going to make a post today. I was going to rebel against myself. Hunched over my computer all day for the day-job, my shoulders and neck were tense and knotted, my eyes burning from focusing on text too long. I was doing some eye-exercises to try and help relax them, looking out my window at the clouds and blue sky, and felt the tension start to ease... and then this began unfurling in my head, and I thought I should write it down. We could all use the reminder now and then, ... View Post
