  • Hello Again

    As you may have figured, it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog. Well, the truth is, I was abducted by aliens, a mind wipe was done, and I forgot I even had a blog. This is either an exaggeration or a metaphor. Aliens could be professors because they are out of this world,… Read more

  • Back in my day (I shouldn’t be old enough to use that phrase), we had sit down to classes late at night after school with a real person, and then we took Driver’s Ed, where we drove around in a horrible gray car that said, “Student Driver” somewhere on the car. The other two students… Read more

  • A Christmas Secret

    Can you keep a secret? I know only a handful of people read my blog. I know my family certainly doesn’t, so I know I can tell you. You must know this part first. I have a brother, sister-in-law, and neice who live in the next city over. His other daughter just had a baby.… Read more

  • Tech Savvy

    Do you know how long it takes to finally get things mediocre? It takes almost forever. If it did take forever, I would still be doing it instead of downing caffeine, which I’m fairly certain I’m not supposed to be doing for an upcoming test, but you know what, I have hypersomnia (the opposite of… Read more

  • Blogs are a pain in the arse

    Okay, so I enjoy this blog very much! However, I had much difficulty with it, well, yesterday now. It’s 12:35 a.m. I have been working on it all day. This is the third theme I have used. The first one didn’t include the names and it was kind of blah (I wanted it to be… Read more

  • Exercising, Ahhh, no Grrr

    by Miriam Kavanagh So, my knee is bone on bone, which I know you really wanted to read, I have the disk to show it, but I won’t be putting up those pictures. However, I will give you a visual of what it feels like sometimes. I have lost weight, yeah don’t get thrilled for… Read more

  • Chapter Six

    I cannot believe the last time I posted was on September 29, I am so sorry to the few readers I have. Very rude of me. So, chapter six, chapter six, chapter six. Where do I begin? No, seriously where do I begin? It’s only 2,048 words, which is the equivalent of about seven pages,… Read more

  • Ridiculous Rules for Writing

    I have certain rules for writing that may prove useless to you. Drink a pot of coffee (for writing or enjoyment) or tea, but not Red Bull or any other funky energy drink. And for goodness sakes, do not take pills unless they are prescription! Fun fact, I had to write a paper for school,… Read more

  • It’s So Tough Being Me

    My beloved mother had such a hard time with chapter two of my novel she didn’t finish; whereas, my dad liked one of my books so much he fell asleep reading it (see photo) and read it in two days. I didn’t know whether to be grateful for the extremely valuable feedback or my own… Read more

  • I started writing my fourth novel, and I had a great outline–it was perfect! Then, when I started writing it did a complete 180 and the story changed. I had another fabulous critique night, assuming you’re using the word to mean large and bad. However, someone suggested I put a major event at the beginning… Read more
