Reading Nooks

I love the idea of reading nooks and after looking at a bunch of designs. I realized a few things. A ready nook has to comfortable enough to stay there for a reasonable length of time. I like the idea of books being the main decor (because why call it a reading nook if there…

Fitness and Lifestyle

How do you stay fit? The short answer was in the past, I beat myself up at the gym and hoped that good genes would take care of the rest. But after injuries, surgeries, and digestive issues, I just stopped. I gave up. It was too hard… That’s the truth. For the last 7 years,…

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.…

How people think writers write sex scenes… Preparing yourself, pep talk, yea, this is gonna be great. My characters are unforgettable. They do amazing things together. It’s gonna…

What are you not going to do?

My friend asked me the question, what are you not going to do this year? Unresolution? I’m teasing, but it’s a valid question. 1. I’m not going to sit behind the computer without taking breaks. I’ve learned my lesson. Physical therapy is costly, and so is a deep tissue massage. 2. I’m not going to…

New Year, No Resolutions+

It’s New Year, but I have no resolutions. I’ve tried making resolutions in the past, and they seem to fall to the wayside. To be honest, I can be a fantastic procrastinator. Like most people, I tend to put off my more unsavory (who am I kidding) shitty tasks.  I know myself well. I know if I…
