My Reflections of NaNoWriMo
My first week of NaNoWriMo 2019 I’m not sure what I expected this week during the first week of NaNoWriMo. My only other experience with NaNo in 2015 was more harrowing. As an inexperienced writer who usually only made five-hundred words per day, trying to triple my output to make my NaNo goal wasn’t easy. I had to really push myself to write every day. … Continue reading My Reflections of NaNoWriMo

Finding Your Tribe
I survived my first presentation
As chairperson of the Pamlico Writers’ Group, and more recently of our conference steering committee, I have been forced to do things that are uncomfortable, like public speaking.

Five years ago … Continue reading My First Presentation

They gave me a renewed spirit and hope for the future. I enjoyed talking about books and writing. I found myself excited about my books in a way I hadn’t felt in a while. Getting comfortable talking about my books … Continue reading Career Fair at AOP
The Pins on My Lapel
The pins on my lapel are not expensive or even rare. To most people they would mean little but to me, they are a testament of love, friendship and dreams come true. The silver feather, a find from my husband reminded him of a quill and my dream to be a published author. He gave me the pin to encourage me to keep writing even … Continue reading The Pins on My Lapel
Confessions of a Perpetual Cheerleader
As we put the last dashes and dots on the 2015 Pamlico Writers Conference I explore my role within the group. I read several books written by the writers presenting at the conference, taking time to write reviews and give words of encouragement. On Twitter, Facebook and Amazon I cheered for my fellow authors, taking great joy from being a member of the team. This … Continue reading Confessions of a Perpetual Cheerleader
