They say Life imitates Art, and Art imitates Life. But Oscar Wilde believed Life imitates Art far more than Art actually imitates Life. He'd likely be giddily boastful about this claim had he lived in this modern Era, with all the Social Media trends that sweep over the youth of the world. I suppose it's…

Dear Journal, I am trying to get back into the swing of things with editing my most recent WIP. The task can seem very daunting when you look at hundreds of pages of text, a massive mountain of prose requiring tweak and changes. It's enough to drive a person crazy. It seems utterly impossible when…
8 years on WordPress!
Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted. I wish I had some wonderful news as some excuse, a good reason for missing out on posting. But the truth is that I don't. Life happens. We all know this, and life happening isn't always a great thing. Sometimes negative things happen and we have…

Going the Distance: My Trip to Dyersville, Iowa
When I was younger, I was captivated by the movie, Field of Dreams. It was so different from anything I ever saw. The story was real, yet it wasn't; but it didn't feel like a fake view of the world around me, even though it incorporated elements of magic and the supernatural. The core of…
Week Sixteen Check-in!

Dear Journal, If you don't remember, I encountered a snafu with my Scrivener upgrade. I want to start by saying the changes in the program are amazing--its more user friendly now, and just looks better... but I had a problem with transferring a file from the older version to the newer version. The novel was…
Week Fifteen Check-in!
Hi to any and all who are reading this. Welcome once more to my blog, where I'm currently keeping tabs on my weekly writing goals. My goals have been the same for nearly four months now, being that I want to achieve a word count of 5,000 words each week. I also have a secondary…
