Sad Cat Diary

I was in tears after watching this. Anyone who has cats will understand! So hilarious. I write this as my own cat, Chester, stalks my keyboard. I gave him my empty yogurt cup to appease him. He now has yogurt on his nose. Perhaps he can add it to the diary.

A Review of THE FIFTH WAVE by Rick Yancey

I’ll admit, since becoming a writer, I’ve gotten critical of everything I read. Instead of thinking, hey this is a good story, a little slow, but still fun–I’ll think, hey they’re cluttering the page with adverbs, why so much back story, is that adjective really necessary? That’s an example of my thought process. It’s called the […]

Making Time to Write

I called this post Making time to write, not Finding time to write, because I don’t believe in finding time. It can’t be found. If you’re not a writer, insert you’re own hobby into the sentence. Making is different than finding. When you make something, you actively put thought into you. You plan ahead, you […]

Thank You! And Why I’m Addicted To Reality TV

Last week, unknown to anyone, I had the goal of doubling the amount of followers on my blog. Guess what? I did it! Thanks to you! I went from three to six followers, which may sound silly that I’m so excited, but I feel it’s an accomplishment. I feel grateful to my followers, and hope […]

Snippet

I’m an unpublished author–a writer. I’m determined not to call myself an author until someone actually pays me to write. Yesterday I signed my first writing contract. In February, assuming all goes well, my first novella will come out! So, my friends, in February, will I become an author? I can’t say for sure yet. […]

Grateful

Sometimes I get in a slump. You know the feeling–where you think nothing is going your way, your life is hard. My sister explains it as, “Life sucks and then you die.” I have those moments. I hate them. I don’t have a cure for getting out of them, but this is how I got […]

Comments!

I love to get comments on my posts. It makes me happy. It makes me feel loved and all warm and fuzzy inside. So today, if you’ve read my post, leave a comment. You may think I have nefarious reasons for requesting this, but I don’t. I just like to hear what other people have […]

A New Day

Have you ever woke up grumpy? I hate doing that–and today was one of those days. I’m trying to work my way out of it. Writing helps. Exercise helps. But when you’re in one of those moods, it’s so much harder to get motivated! At least I’ve got four sweet kiddos to help me out. The […]

Man of Steel: My Two Cents

Man of Steel did what movies should do, it entertained. I loved the sci-fi feel, (but I’m a sci-fi nerd, so that’s no surprise), I loved how we saw Superman in a light we’ve never seen him in before. The movie wasn’t a rehashing of the same story told so many times everyone and their grandpa […]

I’m Back!

I know everyone’s been anxiously awaiting my return to the blogger world, right? I’ve finally done it. And I’d love to make this a habit, so leave me your comments, and let me know what I should blog about, and we’ll put some zing back into this old dead blog for once! Since I blogged […]
