Thoughts on the Election
When it comes to elections, I appreciate the right to vote and exercise that right as often as I can. I’m registered as an independent voter because I don’t like any of the parties and don’t want to be affiliated with one. I vote in almost every election, even in local elections where no one […]
Thoughts on Running Out of Time
I feel so stressed right now. My next novel is going more slowly than I hoped and may not be released in May like I wanted. I keep pausing to do other little things that keep popping up. Individually they don’t take much time to complete, but all together, it’s taken a lot of my […]
Thoughts on Why I Write
For the past three weeks, I’ve written about how I write, why I write what I write, and what I read. This week I’d like to tell you why I write each day and why I think it’s such a passion for me. Since I was a girl, I’ve had a lively imagination. When I […]
Thoughts on Reading

Thoughts on Writing Books

In spite of the limited time, I finished the first draft of my second novel and have made really good progress on the […]
Thoughts on Grandsons
It was an exciting week. My grandmotherdom grew by one. I have another grandson, bringing my total grandchild count to two. That’s likely the highest it will go and considering that at one point in time, I thought I’d never have any at all, I am very happy about having two grandsons. They bring a […]
Thoughts on International Travel
I lived a long time without every stepping foot outside the United States, other than a mile or two across the Mexican border back in the days when drug cartels didn’t control everything. I wanted to go to Egypt and the Middle East to see the ruins of towns I’d read about in the Bible. […]
