My friend, Pat Trainum is visiting today. She writes as Patricia Bradley and is departing from her usual romantic suspense novels to pen two sweet Christmas romances in the Heartwarming Christmas Anthology. Have you ever wanted to run away from your problems? I have, so it’s natural that I would write about characters who run away. In my latest story, …
I was interviewed on the radio last Friday. That’s always fun, even though a radio intervew is a bit of verbal Russian Roulette. I never know if the host is going to a) ask questions from my press release or b) wing it and toss me brand new — think unprepped for — questions. During this interview, the host mentioned that …
So let’s just have a little fun today. I found this quote and made the graphic to go along with it. And then I was writing a post about age … and how we celebrate our age early on in life and then we deny how old we are later on in life. And then I deleted all of that. …
I can set my mind to imagining quite a lot of different things. I can imagine what someone might be thinking about me … Or what someone might be saying about me behind my back. These kinds of imaginings are never positive. I almost always assume the worst. And sometimes, well, my imagnings have been confirmed. Someone doesn’t like me. …
Some days are tougher than others. Some days are disappointng. Some days seem unending. Some days are heart-wrenching.

And that’s all I’ve got for today. As my friend, Mary, said this morning when I told her I’d pushed SEND on my manuscript: “You …
Life is about perspective — how certain experiences clear your vision, as well what other people share with you, thanks to their own learning experiences. In my life, Julie Andrew’s truth of “Unfortunately something always has to go by the wayside” translates into “You can’t do it all.” I’ve watched other people juggle multiple major tasks — and I used to …
I was in New York City this time last week, attending the annual Romance Writers of America (RWA) conference. It was quite the gathering, with something like 2500 attendees … workshops … and lots of networking opportunities.One memory that lingers: The “smart” elevators. You punched the floor that you wanted to go to into a main console. You were then directed …
With apologies to you, my friends, for not posting a blog on Tuesday … I flew to New York for RWA (Romance Writers of America) — a ginormous writers conference. In all the madness to get ready and get on the plane, I just forgot to post a blog. That’s it. I forgot. Several of you sent, “Are you okay” …
Snags and debris. We’re not going to make it through life without running it to one or the other … or both. Snags are impediments to progress … irritants, interferences, interruptions … we want to go one way and they push and prod us another, holding us back from our goals.
