Day 9 of the Love Write Now Pledge

Well, it happened – I fell asleep last night without posting a Day 9 update. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😴 So today you’ll get two for one! I had almost the entire day to do as I wanted and yet I wrote absolutely nothing. Zilch. Nada. Squat. It wasn’t for a lack of trying. I opened the draft ofContinue reading “Day 9 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Day 8 of the Love Write Now Pledge

Dreams have always fascinated me, even from childhood. There’s something so intriguing about the blend of mind, body, and spirit when I consider why and how we dream. It piques this writer’s curiosity. I dream in vivid colors with memorable “characters” and a wild mix of details – some of which I only have toContinue reading “Day 8 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Day 7 of the Love Write Now Pledge

In today’s installment of celebrating that which I love, we’re traveling to Hollywood! Join me as I journey back to one of my favorite places on Earth. Stars fill the sidewalks and the skies in Los Angeles, CA – equally memorizing. I’ve gone on behind-the-scenes studio tours, stood alongside red carpet on film premiere events,Continue reading “Day 7 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Day 6 of the Love Write Now Pledge

Today’s update is short: I barely wrote anything of substance. I jotted down more fan fic ideas (see Day 2), stared at the unfinished draft of my second book, and returned to genealogy research. I don’t feel all that productive with today’s writing count, and yet I’m proud that I pushed myself to write evenContinue reading “Day 6 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Day 5 of the Love Write Now Pledge

I can easily spend hours a day doing genealogy research. The excitement, challenge, determination to solve a puzzle keeps me glued to my rather uncomfortable chair. Sometimes, I can get lost in the past and miss out on the present. Today was not such a day thanks to my seven-year-old niece. Though immersed in myContinue reading “Day 5 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Day 4 of the Love Write Now Pledge

I very nearly let laziness win out tonight by calling it a night without writing anything. I thought, “Eh, I’ll just combine Days 4 & 5 together in a long post tomorrow. I’m too tired tonight.” I shook my head, grabbed my notebook, and turned the light back on. I made a pledge, and I’mContinue reading “Day 4 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Day 3 of the Love Write Now Pledge

Today marked a personal milestone worthy of celebration, and yet I didn’t quite feel like celebrating. On Feb 4th 2020, my debut novel (THE SPIRIT PROJECTOR) became available for purchase in print version. While online book retailers list the book’s publication date as Dec 2019, it wasn’t actually released until Feb 4th. Thus, I considerContinue reading “Day 3 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Nov-Ember Writing Spark: A Challenge to Fire Up Your Writing Goals

I don’t know about you, my friends, but I lacked motivation and inspiration to write during the last year and a half. I had the time (plenty of it), and yet my creativity seemed burnt out. Then an unexpected trip to a local park a few weeks ago inspired me to write two new chaptersContinue reading “Nov-Ember Writing Spark: A Challenge to Fire Up Your Writing Goals”

Motivational Monday Poem: America’s Tattered Fabric

Veils fashioned out of greed, power, and fear Thicken with every racist, misogynist thought Stains the soul, clouds judgement Wounds the heart and tears the fabric of America Words matter, Whether used as weapons of mass destruction Or as a shield to keep truth at bay Cowardice in the face of racism and misogyny IsContinue reading “Motivational Monday Poem: America’s Tattered Fabric”
