I saw this on Facebook the other day and sent it to one of my kids – probably my son since he’s in middle school. I do find it entertaining when I remember that the author of the above book used to teach middle school. I’m not sure if he still does after over 20 […]

I started another book. It will be a different series until I hear back from my advance readers. Now I need to focus on getting an income. I’m not sure what I will find, but I know there’s something out there. We’ve been watching Night Court lately. Some of these episodes wouldn’t pass today. Some […]

I finished the book last night. I’ve sent it to someone for their opinion and I’ve started outlining the next one(s). Doing this keeps my mind busy, and I’m not letting it interfere in the job hunt. So far I’m still applying for work from home jobs. There’s nothing available here that I qualify for […]

It appears that trying to write more often isn’t working as well as I planned. LOL On the other hand, I’ve got my book within 5,000 words of completion. I am hoping to have it done tonight. I’ve got a couple of people I’m going to send it to for opinions while I start on […]

Since I have so much time in my hands, I’ve been working on some of the books that have been in my head for years. They’ll probably be only about 25,000 words or about 90 to 100 pages long. I’m about 8,000 words into the first one. So far, I’ve gotten everything mapped out in […]

I do like The Boomtown Rats, though 😉 I’m still working on redesigning my website. I offered to pay my daughter to update my logo, since she’s in graphic arts at the local Votech, but she hasn’t. I guess I’ll just have to do it myself. It’s all good. I’ve published a couple of no-content […]

One of the writing sites I follow had an essay contest asking what my word for the year was. The essay also needed to explain why I chose that word, and all of this needed to be done in 500 words or less. Like I’m able to keep things that short very easily 🤣 😂 […]

I was on a webinar late last week, talking about publishing on Amazon. It was interesting, but a lot of information. I was also working on a crochet project a friend paid me to do. Then I had to go to a financial planner to get something set up for the 401k from my last […]

We have two dogs. One of them is little and mouthy. You can tell her something and it’ll seem like she’s talking back to you. One day I’ll have to record her and post it for the giggles. Anyway, it often seems like she is the dumb one of our dogs. She does odd things […]

Earlier this week, I had a headache for two days. It would go away with ibuprofen, but then come back. When I lay down in the dark waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in, I started thinking about possible reasons that my head would be hurting. (Turns out, it was stress from job hunting, I […]
