In the wee hours of the morning (3AM) on Saturday November 28th I woke up from a dream where Dolly Parton said she believed in me and if that’s not a sign then I don’t know what is. Let me explain, this is the woman who wrote over Three THOUSAND songs! If that isn’t aContinue reading “Divine Inspiration”

Thanks 2020, You Can Stop Now
So this year is a mixed bag for me as far as things to be thankful for. Given the last 11ish months, sometimes it’s hard to remember that a lot of really amazing things have happened to me this year. My debut novel was published, I transitioned to working from home with only one panicContinue reading “Thanks 2020, You Can Stop Now”
Neener Neener
So here’s the thing. Sometimes shit happens. It’s inevitable. Like I said in a recent post, you’ve gotta dust yourself off and move on. But I feel like I didn’t emphasize enough how you only lose in that situation if you don’t find a way to grow from it. The way I grew from beingContinue reading “Neener Neener”
It Takes A Village
While it’s not impossible to get through life alone, I’d hate to feel like I ever had to. In that facet of my life I have been very blessed indeed. I have an enviable support system made up of not just friends and family, but also coworkers as well. That’s probably one of the mostContinue reading “It Takes A Village”
BIDEN You ARE The Father
Last week was arduous to say the least. It was the Election Day that would not end. Like groundhog day but so much worse. Day after day last week I tried and failed to unplug and focus on my own life rather than a situation that I had done everything I could to encourage theContinue reading “BIDEN You ARE The Father”
Halloween, A Blue Moon, And Anxiety Up The Wazoo
Well this past Saturday was Halloween. I neither participated in the tradition of costuming, nor did I adorn my porch with festive ornamentation. I sat at my computer and worked for eleven hours. Because nothing say Spooky Season like cashing in on 2.5 hours of Overtime! But seriously though, I did participate throughout the monthContinue reading “Halloween, A Blue Moon, And Anxiety Up The Wazoo”
New Fluffernugget
So you’d think that having a full-time job while maintaining a social life, keeping my home in order, writing on the side and taking care of two cats would be enough to keep my hands full. And it does for sure. But having had a dog for 15 years and losing him last year IContinue reading “New Fluffernugget”
Former & Forgotten Friday!
So I unearthed this dinosaur while going through an old external hard drive. It’s a short story I wrote for my college Creative Writing class back in 2011. Normally I’d burn this in effigy rather than allow it to see the light of day.
Three Weeks of Work From Home
Well, we’re on week four of this social distancing, isolationist, quarantine hell and it has it’s ups and downs. TikTok has never been more hilarious as this new worldwide pandemic fuels the creative minds that would otherwise lay dormant. I haven’t touched another human being (hug, handshake, kiss) in almost a month and I’m takingContinue reading “Three Weeks of Work From Home”
Remember To Laugh
It is often difficult, in times such as these, to find the silver lining. To see the light at the end of the tunnel or even to take the time to laugh at something silly. As someone who used to be incapable of doing these things, even in the best of times, I can honestlyContinue reading “Remember To Laugh”
