What Scares Us?

I had planned to write a post on what scares me the most. But as I considered the obvious (I have severe arachnophobia and hate climbing ladders), I decided to put some more thought into this question. The thought of not pushing on and doing what I want to do with my life (including bucket…

Life

During my monthly breast exam, I found a lump. Knowing that I had an upcoming mammogram, I waited (only a couple of weeks) and brought it up at the mammogram. I was told that a biopsy was needed. My doctor took it seriously and since the lump was easily felt and seen. No problem. Now…

New favorite Apps and Services

I have found a couple of new services that I use. Bookbrush – I love this site. Creating content for your books is easy, and I can even develop covers, box sets, and trailers. I got the platinum plan. Totally worth it! There is a free option with fewer services available. Later – a content…

Setbacks

I’m going to share something very personal this week. It’s about suffering setbacks. Recently this happened to me in a very profound way. It affected everything in my life. The last week of April was exciting, I took my computer to my son, and we replaced the motherboard, processor, RAM, and graphics card. We replaced…

The Perks of Writing

A friend recently asked me what writing has done for me. I was momentarily at a loss on how to answer because it’s done many things for me. Back 7 years ago when I jumped on the crazy fan-fiction train. I spent much of my time reading fan-fiction, high fantasy, and romance novels with a…

What means Spring to You?

What makes you think of Spring?I know it is almost Spring in Maine. Most people think of Spring like this… But here in Maine, we have five seasons. That is not a typo. There is nothing wrong with my counting. It’s just that after Winter and before Spring, we have another season known as Mud.…
