Writing Whore – Part 2
If you read my blog last week, and I hope you did, you know I am a writing whore. It’s ok, I don’t try to hide it by writing under a pen name. All of my novels (all=one) are published under my real name as are my book and restaurant reviews. There is no shame…

I am stating publicly that I am not a slut. I know some of my friends and family are shocked by this admission. Ok, not really. There was a period of time when I was somewhat of a kissing bandit, but I’ve never been a “slut” in the regular sense of the word. I am,…

When you can’t think of anything to write about on your blog! Really sucks when the goal is to post one a week and it’s been almost two. Irritating when you’re trying to build your social media platform and you can’t think of anything to say. Terrified I will never come up with a blog topic…

I’d like to preface this post by stating that I am a pretty smart chick. I won’t claim to be a genius but scores on several IQ exams have indicated that I am “highly intelligent.” I graduated college with honors even while partying approximately four nights a week, I think certain things come easier…
Read Moreannoying mispronunciations + giveaway!
GIVEAWAY IS OVER!!! People mispronounce or misuse words/phrases all of the time. It’s not a felony or even a misdemeanor but sometimes it’s pretty darn annoying. And sometimes, when I hear these mispronounced words, it’s like fingernails on a chalk board. Since misery loves company, I thought I’d share some of what I consider the…

I’m getting older and there’s really nothing short of drastic and highly unappealing I can do to change that. I’ve been told I don’t look any older than I did ten years ago. Or maybe it’s that I can pass for ten years younger than I am. In any case, I do have good genes…

I started this blog while I was trapped on a 6.5 hour flight to Seattle, sandwiched between two people with barely enough room to extend my arm to grab my two bottles of pinot grigio from the flight attendant. (I only asked for one bottle, but the flight attendant must have taken pity on me…
