    I had a purpose for this Thursday posting… Hmmm, what was it? *sigh* I’m forgetful. There’s too much to remember! I just can’t “busy” like I used to. I can’t possibly be expected to keep track of it all! Especially with the potential digressions. And distractions. I think I suffer from grAyDD. Look! A penny! I need…

  • You know who YOU are

    I was in Madison and I thought of you. I found a jar of Carmex in my bag and I thought of you. I made mac’n’cheese and I thought of you. I saw a red convertible Mustang and I thought of you. I heard a commercial for 1-800-Kars-4-Kids and I thought of you. I ate half a batch…

  • A few weeks ago, I was on a Carnival cruise from New Orleans to Mexico. Have you cruised? Spent time on a ship sailing south with total strangers? If yes, then you’ll know–Cruise ships are a microcosm of anatomy on parade. Not just a collection of people from strange lands and foreign cultures, all races, religions, beliefs…

    I discussed my blog with people at the writers’ conference last week. “I blog every Monday,” I bragged. But this is the second week in a row that Monday has been missed. Ever diligent, Tuesday it is. My head is aswirl with ideas to share! Too many, in fact, to do justice to any. While I…

  • Uh-oh. I seem to be in a bit of a funk. I forgot to blog yesterday. Much like the Blackhawks forgot to defend. It’s cool. It happens. Not three games in a row. But, whatever. I remembered about 11:10 last night that I hadn’t posted my weekly Monday Blog. The game was not even close…

  • Feels like the first time…

    I hit “enter” on the digital upload for my second publication* today. That’s some scary key pressing. Seeing as I’ve already done this BEFORE*, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right? WRONG. I suspect every time feels like the first time. Doubt creeps, worry consumes, errors are imminent. Luckily, in this current digital age of publishing, doubt…

  • Freeing Time

    I am cutting back on my obligations. I’m retiring from my voluntary career. After six years of dedication to In Print Professional Writers’ Organization, I’m stepping down. No longer on the board in any capacity, nor lingering in the peripheral with ancillary duties, I’m done. This includes Word of Art. After three amazingly successful, fulfilling,…
