• Surgery…strength…marriage survival.💕

  

  I was mostly absent last month due to my husband having major surgery. It was a scary, exhausting month. A lot of tears were shed. I was tested beyond normal limits. The fear of losing my husband gave me the strength to move forward even though I had no idea what I was doing. I…

• Sunshine and stress!

  I am so sorry it has been a while. All I can say is it’s been very difficult for the past few months. It was like my writing well had dried up. My creative voice replaced with stress and not enough sunshine. Depression and rain. As the oldest child in my family I have always…

• Happy Thanksgiving…be thankful for everything you have…🍁🍂🦃

  

  In a time when chaos is everywhere it is nice to know there is a national holiday that encourages you to eat, drink and spend time with family. My second favorite holiday! Last year we were unable to celebrate due to my family being inflicted with covid. They were times last year I wondered if…

• Whining…wine… and daily difficulties.

  

  It’s crazy to go to work sometimes and know exactly how tired you are…Whining helps at times…How little sleep time got the night before, due to worry. Stress. Your back hurting… wine helps… so does heating pads, epsom salt baths…did I mention wine? Trying to grasp motivation each and every day. Being tired. Being overworked.…

• Villains part two; conflict is crossing that line.

  One key thing I have learned thru writing is…conflict drives the story…it’s necessary or the plot will die out… key members in this conflict are villains, and antagonist’s…I have also learned that antagonists and villains are different characters entirely. Villains are always the ones that cross the lines. Breaking the law, using torture, what ever…

• The pen can…create…too many secondary characters.

  

  This is one of my faults. I love my minor characters. I create beautiful scenes with them. Scenes that have nothing to do with my main story or protagonist. It’s a problem. One thing I am trying to overcome. The trick is figuring out how to use them correctly. Minor characters need to serve a…

• Motivation to work…is key too changing your mindset.

  

  Editing as I mentioned is exhausting. It takes the joy out of writing. The fun out of creating. So your mindset is key to continually writing. Making your story shine bright. I keep telling myself tiredness is good, it means I’m working hard. This editing project would be so much easier if I wasn’t running…
