• Art+Wine=Writing…

  

  I cannot draw, I cannot paint. Whenever I see something amazing in art, I have a true appreciation for it. I understand the time and energy that is needed to complete things you are passionate about. My first book took me ten years to complete…my second four years. My third 1.5 years. I feel like,…

• 🫧Mermaids,and book three😏

  

  I started this journey with an idea. A love of the little mermaid. Now it has evolved into a trilogy and it’s wonderful, amazing, fun. I have not figured out everything yet. I have started outlining again. Third book is super important, more important then the other two. It is the conclusion and the end…it…

• 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…

• Sarcasm…sun…and stories!

  

  I learned early in life that I could defend myself with words. Particularly when using sarcasm. Work and home have been incredibly stressful lately. I find myself pissing people off at work everyday with vigor and enthusiasm. I probably should stop that. Laughter is the best medicine in stress filled situations at least it is…

• Fudge bars…stress…and beginnings…of books I mean!

  Starting any book is a challenge. It’s overwhelming at first because you have all these ideas! Some amazing. Some not so much. You sit down to write and nothing. No focus. So you research an idea. More ideas appear. Now your more overwhelmed then when you started. You take a walk, have a ice cream…

• New year… new goals…so grateful for them.

  Hello all! Happy new year. Here’s hoping this year is amazing. I started this blog towards the end of last year hoping I would have a place to share discoveries, revelations, and writing inspiration. I feel it has definitely been that.

• Starry nights…clear direction

  

  Many people love constellations. Many people love space exploration. I just love the stars. On a clear night it’s beautiful. Tonight I am pretty sure I saw a meteor… it was beautiful. I had a star I used to wish on every night before bed. I could see it clearly from my window. So I…

• Writing…do I really have a clue?

  I always reach a point in my second act…that I fear I don’t have any idea what I’m doing. Or at least I worry I don’t… I reach the midpoint. Act two is my nemesis…I am trying to make all the things happen that I promised in the first act, deal with relationships, conflicts, plot…

• And with the Fall of summer…comes the Rain…

  A few weeks ago we were inundated with fires over 35 of them in Oregon alone. I was one of the many praying for rain. Thankfully it has come. I believe we are down to three major fires from 35… it is a relief to me knowing my friends and family are out of danger…
