Shh, Don’t Tell My Husband I Blew Up the Car!

I can’t seem to write a romance novel without killing someone off or blowing something up. This time I’m afraid I’ve really done it. Y’all, please don’t tell my husband I blew up a vintage car. Continue reading Shh, Don’t Tell My Husband I Blew Up the Car!

My Messy Happy Life

I follow a lot of writers and I think, those people aren’t like me. They seem to have it all together and I don’t even know if I’m wearing pants. I don’t have a neat and organized place to write. Heck, I don’t have an organized life. I keep trying but because I have a choice to use my limited time to clean or to … Continue reading My Messy Happy Life

Names, Titles and Covers

They say never judge a book by its cover but in this day and age, we often have just a one-inch rectangle in which to find a book or sell one. We look for covers that are attractive, that gain our attention. We also look for titles that are inviting. Continue reading Names, Titles and Covers

I’m Not Ready!

One of my oldest and dearest friends lost her father recently. It was a tragedy, not because he was young, but because he was the kind of father kids saw on television and never believed existed in real life. You know the kind of dad who takes time with their kids, actually acts like he likes them and their friends. That was him and then … Continue reading I’m Not Ready!

Exhaustion and Rest

I feel like an old lady. How does an old lady feel? I need suspenders on my underwear to keep my a$$ from dragging. I know I’m older, but one little, eight year-old girl should not have the power to zap my batteries. Oh it’s not just taking care of our granddaughter that’s making me feel like Rip Van Winkle in need of a nap. … Continue reading Exhaustion and Rest

What is Tone?

When I looked up the meaning of the word I found two definitions for tone as a noun and two more for tone as a verb. Pitch, quality and strength of musical sound. The general attitude of a place, piece of writing, or situation. To give strength or firmness to the body. To alter the color finish of a monochrome photo. As a writer, the … Continue reading What is Tone?
