Searching for happiness in 2024

I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness lately. I’ve realized that I’ve spent a solid chunk of my life waiting for something to happen on the expectation that I will be happy once it does. When I was younger, my happiness revolved around my romantic status. There was almost always someone I had feelings for…

Meredith’s TV Guide – 12/11-12/17

I’m here with this week’s installment of Meredith’s TV Guide. I, shockingly, didn’t want much television this week because I was out several nights. I do have a life you know! But here’s my recap. To save time and space, I’m only going to mention the shows where I have detailed opinions based on my…

Meredith’s TV guide: 12/4-12/10

I’m back for another installment of Meredith’s TV Guide. It wasn’t a very exciting television week for me with a couple of exceptions beginning with Wednesday. I was planning to skip this one because I never watched The Addams Family, which I know is unusual (and probably unexpected since I watch just about everything else),…

Meredith’s TV Guide – 11/27-12/4

Welcome to week two of my weekly tv guide! There will be some repeats from last week because I’m still watching some of the same shows, but I’ve added a few new ones to my rotation as well as a couple of movies. Downton Abbey: A New Era (Prime): I was so excited when I…

Meredith’s TV Guide – Episode 1

It’s no secret that I’m addicted to television. It’s even in my author bio. I like to say that if it’s been on television, I’ve probably watched it! I could dish about tv ALL DAY (spoken, obviously, in the voice of Schmidt from New Girl.) I typically post my random musings on Twitter but since…

Recent Romance Recommendations

How do you like that alliteration? Over the last month, I’ve read several contemporary romances/romantic comedies. This is not unusual, since I read 10-12 books a month, three-quarters of which are usually in the romance genre. However, the level of enjoyment I experienced with this particular consecutive batch is unmatched. These novels were so good…

Things that terrify me about my traditional debut

I joined a Club House room this past week with the Romance and WF club about fears published authors have, for instance, not earning out, no one liking the book etc. While I participated and shared one of my own fears (keep reading for details), in my mind I was racking up way more worries…

Editing with emojis

I don’t typically use my blog for writing tips but I’m making an exception today. Any author who’s ever revised a book is familiar with searching for repetitive words, phrases, descriptions. When you have 300 occurrences of “just” “like” “smile” “shrug” in a 300 page novel, it’s too much. And it is not the fun…
