Be a Force for Good: Review a Book Today!

posted on 03/16/2012

I’ve written before about my experience with self-publishing and the changes in the publishing industry. The subject continues to fascinate me as a reader and a writer. The world of books is in flux, to say the least, and readers are presented with an overwhelming array of choices. Hardback and paperback, sure. Familiar authors, yes. […]

Seeds

Front Field For today’s blog, I’m including some pictures from our family farm in South Georgia. These were taken back in December 2008. I have always loved the farm, and always struggled with what it represents. The farm has been in our family since the late 1800’s. It’s part of who I am, and memories […]

Mii and the Wii

posted on 01/10/2012

This morning I stepped onto the Wii Fit for the first time in a while. I had to replace the batteries just to get it going after months collecting dust. If you have a Wii Fit, or have used one at someone’s house, you know that the little guy ‘talks’ to you when you weigh […]

2012: Ready, Set… Where Am I Again?

posted on 01/05/2012

Happy New Year, y’all! Hope everyone enjoyed their winter holidays. Here’s a picture of me doing who knows what on the beach last week: Seriously, what am I doing here? Embarrassing beach dancing aside, I do feel very refreshed after spending some quality time with my family doing absolutely nothing. When the holiday break started, […]

Rules for Reading and Writing (Not So Much with the ‘Rithmetic)

posted on 12/06/2011

You may have noticed that I’ve added a new page to the blog listing what I’ve been reading. I got the idea from another author-blogger and thought it would be interesting to see how having the list impacts what and when I read (if at all) or what people think about my writing. Actually, I’d […]

NaNoWriMo: One of my Best Failures Yet

posted on 11/28/2011

Well, folks, it’s November 28th, time for a status update. If you are one of those root-for-the-underdog, “maybe she’ll pull it out of the fire at the last minute and surprise us” kind of readers, I’m sorry to disappoint you. I think it’s highly unlikely I will write 32,940 words in the next 59 hours […]

Haunted

posted on 11/01/2011

Last night we took the boys Trick-or-Treating with some friends and had a great time. I didn’t know whether Monkey would be able to keep up with the four- to seven-year-old crowd on his little two-year-old pirate legs, but he was a champ. I don’t think he cares much about the candy yet — last […]

Words, Words, Words

posted on 10/28/2011

I’ve had language on the brain this week. First and rather unpleasantly, there is the language of the law. Despite a house-wide lack of sleep, the major disruption in our family right now relates to one poorly-written phrase in an outdated will of my father’s. It’s a long story I can’t tell in detail, but […]

Writing the Good Fight

posted on 10/10/2011

I posted my last blog entry seven weeks ago today. Two days later, my son was born. A beautiful 8-pound baby boy who looks like his father and loves to be held by his mommy. He is my treasure. Big brother is so proud — already trying to show him the ropes. The birth was […]

The Sex Blog

posted on 08/22/2011

The weekend on bed rest gave me some time to catch up on a little reading around the blogosphere, including “What’s Wrong with Sex?” by JA Konrath, one of the powerhouse voices in indie publishing. While Joe’s books themselves aren’t necessarily my cup of tea — because of the genre, not the quality of writing […]
