I haven’t made the kind of progress I wanted to this week on my writing… but at least I have been writing. There has been a lot going on in my life the last two weeks that’s demanded and needed my attention in addition to dealing with the aftermath of my car accident. One of... Continue Reading →
WIP-it Wednesday: July 8th, 2015
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! My Independence Day weekend got off to a good start, even after working a surprise eleven hour shift when I had planned to have the Friday off. The holiday itself on Saturday turned out really well: I had time to... Continue Reading →
Epic Music Monday: Phantom Power Music – Never Surrender

My friend David asked me… I wish I could write. I sit down at my laptop and my brain is one big chaotic jumble… How do you get your thoughts in order and get those words down? This is a great question. Not just to me but to all writers in general. I’ll start by... Continue Reading →
Engineer’s Log: Blooming Amid Adversity
November began for me with a weekend of rain, wind and snow after Halloween. It was a good time to huddle at home with a hot cup of Earl Grey and process the events of October. With the downtime, I of course picked up my laptop and started to write. I began with some additional... Continue Reading →
