S.O.S! Please Send Energy!
I've had absolutely no energy or motivation the past couple days. Work has killed me the past two weeks with barely any time off. And this week, and next week, isn't going to be any easier. It's been one sporadic day off here and there with long shifts and even back to back shifts that … Continue reading S.O.S! Please Send Energy!

Water Fairy (Wednesday Words 9.16.15)
A good friend of mine, P.T. Wyant, is doing a blog post every Wednesday called Wednesday Words with a new prompt for a bit of flash fiction writing, just to get in the habit of writing something, anything. (Even if said flash fiction is complete garbage at the time. Garbage is better than nothing though, right?) If you’re … Continue reading Water Fairy (Wednesday Words 9.16.15)
The Struggles of a Night Owl
Yes, that is me. I am a total night owl. Ever since I did an overnight freight job in retail, I have been an even bigger night owl. Eleven at night is way too early to go to bed. Midnight is even too early. One a.m. even feels too early. But 2am... 2:30am... 3am... Now … Continue reading The Struggles of a Night Owl

Head Spinning
I've gotten absolutely nothing done the past four days. Not a thing. Not one. Zilch. Zero. Big fat goose egg. I've worked the worst shifts that don't allow me to get anything done at home during those days. Not to mention, the awesome thunderstorm we had a few days ago knocked down two trees in … Continue reading Head Spinning

Plotting, Editing, and A…Seductress?
I am not sure what happened to me the past three days. I had three days off again, surprisingly. Unlike last week when I had this time off, I haven't really gotten anything done. Granted, I did catch up on Sunday Snippets so I'm all set there. And I did get organized once more. And... … Continue reading Plotting, Editing, and A…Seductress?
Let’s Talk Editing
For the past two months I have been sharing Sunday Snippets from my short paranormal story Rivers of Black. The more and more I have shared from it, the more I have realized skimming through the Word doc for my snippets, that I could make the story even better by running another edit of it. … Continue reading Let’s Talk Editing
