That time of the week!
It’s that time of the week! For writing a blog, of course. Thankfully, that other thing only comes once a month 🙂 I’m hiding out in my boss’s office while he’s out to lunch. I’m eating a really good salad from Hale & Hearty. It has tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms (my friend Abbe just winced. She…

This post might be a bit controversial and while I hope some of you will agree with me, I’m sure some of you won’t. It’s just my personal opinion. There was a segment on The Today Show yesterday about a survey conducted of men and whether they’d leave their wives if they gained a lot of…

The main character in my first novel had two love interests: one was quiet and brainy, tall, dark and handsome and the other was playful with a baby face. My main character was attracted to both of these men even though they were not the same “type.” When I’m with my girlfriends, one will often comment, “that guy is…

I have no idea what direction this blog will take but I’m hoping it makes me feel better, as writing usually does. I actually have nothing to feel “down” about – I had a great weekend, followed by a pretty productive week at work and some fun plans and I leave for a beach vacation in…

Billy Joe, a porter in my apartment complex, often stops me as I am coming or going out of my building and tells me to “relax”, “take a break” and “slow down”. He is under the impression that I’m one of those people who is always on the go and incapable of sitting still for…

Greetings from my weekly writer’s group. I had a lot of difficulty coming up with a topic for this week’s blog. Truth is, I have trouble coming up with a blog topic every week. I tend to use the phrase “not a problem” often. For instance, if my boss asks if I can run a trademark…

The man on the treadmill next to me this morning ran like the wind for five seconds as if being chased by a gang of armed men. Then he stopped abruptly and jumped to the sides of the treadmill without adjusting the speed to stretch and breathe heavily for a few seconds. Then he repeated the process over and…
Read MoreSURPRISE!
My sisters and I threw my mother a surprise 70th birthday party this past weekend. Anyone who has ever planned a surprise party knows that it can get a little dicey. For instance, the party was planned for my mom’s actual birthday, Sunday, May 1st. About a month before the party, my mom informed us…
Read Morenumbers aren’t just for counting!
I think we can all agree that numbers are a pretty significant part of life. High numbers are great in terms of book sales or SAT scores and high numbers are bad when comparing prices or measuring our weight (unless you actually need to gain a few pounds in which case, stop reading this and EAT SOMETHING). Numbers are…
Read MoreWhere I’m At – A-Z
Anxious – I am attending my first club as the author on Thursday night. What if no one shows up? Or what if people show up but hated the book? Better – I finished the first round of revisions of my second novel and think it’s better than my first. I have a soft spot for…
