Is The Pen Mightier Than The Sword? I was exceptionally lucky to be gifted with my writing voice relatively young. Being vocal with the written word is something that runs in my family, but for years, I kept things bottled up and didn’t have a lot to say. Being told “Write what you know, think, … Continue reading Is The Pen Mightier Than The Sword?

Has Anyone Else Noticed?
This time of year either brings out the good in people, or it brings out the bad. Unfortunately, I am dealing with assumptions, presumptions, accusations, and have decided that not speaking to certain people is really the healthiest decision for all involved. I have a temper and I know how to use it, so really, it’s … Continue reading Has Anyone Else Noticed?
Only A Writer…
All of my characters have distinctive voices. It is not entirely uncommon for me to walk around with a new accent after I've been writing someone in particular for the better part of a day. It's a little disconcerting, actually, but I am easily influenced by accents.
Goodbye November
Goodbye November Some months are good to you, and others are a bitch. Sometimes a month is riddled with bad news, negativity, hostility, and unhappiness. When a month is ugly, you need to say goodbye, and leave it behind you. It’s senseless to constantly look behind you to the bad when the future is going … Continue reading Goodbye November
Thoughts Through Other Eyes
I am tired in a soul-deep, bone-deep way that I can’t quite explain. I know it is borne out of doing too much, too fast, without proper rest.

I did not relish the idea of dealing with a turkey when a good half of it would end up in the garbage or making stuffing because I made it last year and there is simply NEVER enough stuffing one can … Continue reading Overreaching
A Short Week
A Short Week As we steadily approach Thanksgiving here in the States, it means a short work week for many, and for others, it means a miserable time of year where you have no choice, BUT to work because you work in a mall or an individual store that will be absolutely PACKED as of … Continue reading A Short Week
After Midnight Musings
Writers are a very different breed of artist. We create differently. We all have different “methods to our madness”, which, in my opinion, is a good thing. I have friends from all different professional walks of life, but I am drawn to the creative, unique, and quirky. I am drawn to well thought out opinions, … Continue reading After Midnight Musings
Exhausted
I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I'd like to sit and cry, but I don't even have the emotional capacity to do so today. I can't remember the last time I felt so incredibly deadened. I've spent an enormous chunk of my life taking care of others, being the dutiful daughter, being responsible and … Continue reading Exhausted
