I have written about my goal-setting process on here before, but as my life has changed and what I wanted out of my life changed, I knew I needed something different…but I wasn’t sure what. So, when one of my favorite AuthorTubers, Sarra Cannon – a brilliant and successful indie author and lovely human being…

Tick Tock
No, the title isn’t in reference to the Ke$ha song (although, I do enjoy dancing to that when putting on my makeup) – today I’m going to talk about timers! I love timers! I especially love timers now that I have an Alexa (the Amazon Echo Dot that I talked about a few months ago). …
Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019
Baby New Year is about to make his appearance again as we say goodbye to 2018 and ring in 2019. Every year around this time, as I’m scrambling to buy Christmas gifts (seriously, why do I always wait until the last flipping minute?) I’m also thinking, planning, and gearing up for new goals, new dreams,…

How I Use Pinterest To Help Me Write My Novels
My debut novel isn’t 100% ready to be published yet, but I have already started working on my 2nd novel. Right now I’m still in the very beginning – or outline mode – but before I blink, I will quickly be descending into research, drafting, and revision modes so I already started a Pinterest board…
My Writer’s Toolbox
Did you read that title and go, what is she talking about…writer’s don’t have toolboxes. Okay, true – I don’t have a giant red Craftsman toolbox where I keep my writerly things, but I do use tools to write and that’s what I want to talk about today. First, my laptop – I use a…
Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018
Ah, another year is coming to a close. It’s out with the old and in with the new, that weird old man is retiring and baby new year is bouncing onto the scene. Side note: how does that baby age so much in one year? Okay, back on track. This is my last post…
One Word to Rule Them All
I’ve spoken about this before, but you know that this past year has been all about inner change for me. I’ve worked on my mindset by fixing beliefs I had about myself and my body. I’ve worked on things with my therapist and nutritionist through journaling, talking, and other exercises to help me deal with…
Coffee Break, part 2
It’s almost December…how did that happen? This time of year is full of holidays, family time, and looking forward to the new year. 2018 will be here in a blink and I have quite a few things to finish up before December 31st rolls around. So, grab a cup of warm coffee or hot chocolate…
Technical Difficulties
You might notice that things look a little different around here. I’m hoping they look better, but I guess that’s subjective isn’t it? Yesterday, I received an email from my web host that they updated some things on their end – this caused my old blogging platform and my web host to stop speaking to…
