Well, maybe I’m not a boss, per se, but my Poshmark closet is still going strong. I’ve been working on adding new listings lately, and new stuff is going up this week. I’m up to my eyebrows in unlisted inventory. My dressform, Bernadette, which I found on Facebook Marketplace, will be a big help inContinue reading “#GirlBoss”

And the livin’s easy…
Summertime. The time I get slothful about my writing habits. I make excuses and cut corners and don’t follow through with commitments. So if you see me out there at Starbucks or Barnes & Noble, and I’m typing furiously on my keyboard, it means something has actually gone right in the universe, and the musesContinue reading “And the livin’s easy…”
Words+
I’ve been reading lately much more than I’ve been writing. I finished The Trespasser, which had an excellent twist at the end. Then, even after having watched the series on Netflix, I read You by Caroline Kepnes. Excellent. Terrifying and true. Then I picked up Liane Moriarty’s What Alice Forgot. Made me never want toContinue reading “Words+”
Plot Twist
So much for an outline. My writing has a mind of its own. The story has taken a turn that I didn’t see coming. This, after having the whole story laid out carefully, then scrapping it and plotting it anew. Yes, it’s evolving into yet another version of itself, and I’m pleased with the momentumContinue reading “Plot Twist”
New year, new motivation
This weekend, I met up with two local writers. We connected through NaNoWriMo. We spent an hour or two talking about where we are with our current projects and our goals for our books. We’re each at different places in the eventual publishing process, but it gave me a good push to get going forContinue reading “New year, new motivation”
NaNoWriMo, y’all
Last year at this time, I was powering through writing my novel for National Novel Writing Month. I may have been taking a break or twelve to attend a Tony Robbins convention. Tony was fun for a day or so, but I’m not as (I don’t want to use the word cultish, not only becauseContinue reading “NaNoWriMo, y’all”
Broken writing bone?
I think I’ve been suffering from a fractured writing bone. At very least, a sprain of the metaphorical ligament, because, WOW, have things been dead around here. I was recently on a plane, and it conjured so very many images for me that the notes I began scribbling for a short story were tough toContinue reading “Broken writing bone?”
Those who can’t do, read
And those who don’t read, attempt to update the “To Read That I Own” shelf on their Goodreads with the heaps and loads of books they continue to buy, despite the fact that they’re not reading at the same breakneck pace as last year. (No? Just me?) According to Goodreads, I’m reading five books rightContinue reading “Those who can’t do, read”
Digging up old words
Last week, I decided for some reason to gather up all of my journals in one place for a picture. I think this picture was for Nicole. I knew some were on one shelf, and some were buried more deeply, lower, on another. I knew that for the oldest, the ones I wrote starting fromContinue reading “Digging up old words”
Calm the hell down
Earlier this week, I emailed my therapist about various zaniness going on in my life, and the first line of her response was, “Calm the hell down.” First of all, thank you for not babying me, but instead telling me to put on my big girl pants. Also, good advice in general. I’m not theContinue reading “Calm the hell down”
