Unlocking the Joy of Reading
One of my fondest memories as a child was visiting my aunt and uncle. They had a bookshelf of children’s books my cousin had outgrown that I was allowed to explore. I remember one about a pretty kitten with a ball of yarn, the familiar The Little Engine, and The Hardy Boys series.

Creating Your Joy
Let’s face it, sometimes, okay, a lot of times, life is hard. That lie we were told as children, you know the one…”You can do whatever you want when you’re an adult.” Yeah, right.

Motivation
What gets you motivated, excited, ready to crank out work or start a new project? For most of us the motivation to get up every morning and go to work is the desire to pay our bills. For those of us who have a second job, or a creative passion, that work might not always result in financial gain. As a writer, I know it … Continue reading Motivation
Weather as Setting and Story
Here in eastern North Carolina, we recently experienced a winter storm resulting in several inches of snow. For many parts of the world snow isn’t a big deal during the winter months. It’s as normal as the wind blowing or the sun shining, but here on the coast of North Carolina, in a very unusual. We get snow maybe once every three to five years, … Continue reading Weather as Setting and Story
