Hello Cleveland!

I got an e-mail through work notifying me that I won tickets to see TSO (TranSiberian Orchestra) on Thursday 12/30 at 8PM in…Cleveland! I’ve been listening to their albums every holiday since before I can remember so naturally I said hellz yes and called Amanda to let her know she was road tripping with me.Continue reading “Hello Cleveland!”

Write (Not) My Age & Merry Christmas!

I recently discussed a new book(s) idea that has me really excited. I’ve finished the plot outline and character profiles so that I can finally edit Seer. The issue I anticipate having with this story is that, while it will be written for YA, the protagonist is only 13. Normally that would suggest a middle-gradeContinue reading “Write (Not) My Age & Merry Christmas!”

Better Made…But Made Better

So I love the whole sweet/salty combo and, while I’m still on a weight loss journey, I will buy myself a tin of these every year. The tin should last me till the new year as it doesn’t have much in it and I’m having maybe one chip a day. That being said, while BetterContinue reading “Better Made…But Made Better”

2021

Well if you’re reading this you survived 2020. Congrats! But we can’t let down our guard just yet. There are still many unresolved plot lines that 2020 has left for us to complete. For example, what the heck happened to murder hornets??? Weren’t they supposed to be a thing? I rang in the New YearContinue reading “2021”

Merry Christmas and a Happy Saturnalia!

I love gift giving. It is, I would go so far as to say, my primary love language. I take my time methodically selecting presents that will bring that specific person joy, and then receive my reward by enjoying the look of delight on their faces when they realize what kind of meticulous time andContinue reading “Merry Christmas and a Happy Saturnalia!”

A Holiday For Your Book

Holidays are a time of inspiration.  All you have to do is look at Christmas. There have to be hundreds, if not thousands of Christmas related/adjacent/affiliated movies. Everything from A Christmas Carol to Die Hard. So many stories inspired by an otherwise ordinary day of the year. But what happens when your novel is based in a fictionalContinue reading “A Holiday For Your Book”

Great Gifts For Your Weirdo Writer Friend (December post)

It’s about that time of year! The season of giving. CHRISTMAS IS UPON US!!! If you’re like me, you finished buying your gifts ages ago, but I recognize I am the exception, rather than the rule, where this is concerned. Sometimes shopping for your writer friends can be hard, as they give vague and abstractContinue reading “Great Gifts For Your Weirdo Writer Friend (December post)”

Fun Fact Friday: The Fun is Relative

I love Christmas.  I think I made that clear during last week’s ‘Fun Fact Friday’.  It’s not hard to enjoy a holiday with so many wonderful aspects to it.  Food, presents, decorations, the spirit of giving, and wonderful wonderful movies. I recently had the pleasure of seeing a special showing of the 1947, black and white versionContinue reading “Fun Fact Friday: The Fun is Relative”

Fun Fact Friday: The Fun is Relative

I love Christmas.  It is my favorite time of the year, with Halloween following as a close second.  I love picking out gifts for people that I know they will like and the looks on their faces when they realize I paid attention however many months ago they mentioned they liked a specific item.  OneContinue reading “Fun Fact Friday: The Fun is Relative”
