I hope you’re still at the point where venting will help. Vent away, babe. I’m here to listen to you complain about whatever. If you’re not at that point anymore, if you’re being just talking it out, then I’ll snuggle with you, I’ll cuddle with you, I’ll buy you ice cream and watch you play … Continue reading Open when you’re having a bad day… #openwhen #loveletter

Michael DuPuy, while not investigating … Continue reading Love and Death, the commonalities by Michael DuPuy #loveisamess #authorcorner
Funny Money #WIPpetWednesday and #ROW80
I really must apologize for not visiting anyone last week. Between having a crappy weekend and then dealing and fighting with depression and illness, it wasn't possible. Hopefully most of that is over now, or at least will be over by the end of today. I'm going to try and make up for the days … Continue reading Funny Money #WIPpetWednesday and #ROW80
Authenticity of Masturbation #brokentaboos
I’ve read a whole lot of romance books in my life. It’s one of my secrets that I read and hardly anyone knows about. I tend to like romance over erotic romance and definitely over erotica, and yes there is a difference. But sex wasn’t always acceptable in piece. It’s still not acceptable in a … Continue reading Authenticity of Masturbation #brokentaboos
Just another update #ROW80
I haven't had the greatest weekend. It was the first time in a while that I woke up yesterday, stared at my computer and actually decided not to write. I just couldn't find the head space to do it. There has been loads of drama and conflict going on at work since Friday morning, and … Continue reading Just another update #ROW80
Open when you’re nervous… #openwhen #loveletters
I know you get nervous, babe. You always get anxious, especially about certain things like school. I want you to take a few deep, calming breaths. Close your eyes and focus only on you and God for a moment. I want you to breathe in God’s presence and let it calm you, relax you, ease … Continue reading Open when you’re nervous… #openwhen #loveletters
Open when you need a laugh… #openwhen #loveletter
I think it’s ironic that on this day, a day I should need a laugh the most, this is the topic I chose months ago. We’re already so in tune! I don’t even know where to begin. I could tell you a few jokes, but they would probably be lame and not as funny as … Continue reading Open when you need a laugh… #openwhen #loveletter
Dog Chases #row80 and #WIPpet
I've been doing a lot of writing so far this week. It's been so relaxing and awesome. Grace through Redemption had started the beta reading process and I got the prologue back last night. w00t! I hope the novel will be done soon. Unfortunately my brand new barely a month old computer has been crashing. … Continue reading Dog Chases #row80 and #WIPpet
Broken Taboos: Religion #taboo #brokentaboo #religioninwriting
To continue the saga of what taboos I write, I've chosen religion as my next component. I don't know how many of you have read my series, but if you have, then you know religion is an element in them. We're always told growing up not to talk religion and politics. Well, I didn't talk, … Continue reading Broken Taboos: Religion #taboo #brokentaboo #religioninwriting
Time and time again #ROW80
I finally got days off. Friday was my first day off since January 3rd, and I took it and ran with it. It felt soon good. Now I'm sitting here on Sunday morning kind of wishing I had just one more day off to finish resting up before head off to work, but alas, it's … Continue reading Time and time again #ROW80
Open when you have doubts about us… #openwhen #loveletters
It’s not simple to worry or work through this one. It’s complicated and scary. Very scary for me and probably for you. When you have doubts about us, everything compounds and it’s hard to get out of that thinking. All I can do is to ask you to remember why you thought we could work. … Continue reading Open when you have doubts about us… #openwhen #loveletters

A promotion opportunity… #ROW80 and #WIPpetWednesday
Good morning, world! As my crazy week continues into day eleven of no time off, I've decided to take half days. Meaning, I'm home by noon and napping by three and awake again by five. It kills any extra writing time I would get in the afternoons, but three hour naps are often awesome. Then … Continue reading A promotion opportunity… #ROW80 and #WIPpetWednesday
Open when you have doubts about God… #openwhen #loveletters
This one isn’t easy. I’ve watching you in faith since we’ve known each other, and I’ve seen you grow so much. Partly it might be because of my job, but I don’t ever want my work to force you to have doubts. You’ll readily see the good and the bad about faith if you stand … Continue reading Open when you have doubts about God… #openwhen #loveletters
Broken Taboos: being bisexual and writing lesbian fiction
I wrote this post on my Facebook wall a while ago and realized quickly it was 1. too long for a post on Facebook and 2. really needed to be expanded on. So here you are...my rant on why I write broken taboos and then a calmer discussion toward the bottom. What? I … Continue reading Broken Taboos: being bisexual and writing lesbian fiction
A quick update on a busy weekend #ROW80
Hey all! My weekend went from semi-busy to crazy busy in the span of about 4 hours. Friday I was supposed to have a half day off, usually it's a full day off, but I ended up driving four hours to Wichita and 4 hours home. Saturday I had a funeral, and today I have … Continue reading A quick update on a busy weekend #ROW80
Open when you feel out of place… #openwhen #loveletters
Babe, don’t worry. I got this one. I know EXACTLY where you place is. It’s right here. See? Right here! Right next to me. Side by side, we have found our place together. Neither one of us is in front of the other. We’re not the leader or the follower. In some things yes, but … Continue reading Open when you feel out of place… #openwhen #loveletters
A few days down, a ton more to go. #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Good morning all! I'm excited to report that it's the start of a new year and the start of a new round of ROW80, as if you didn't already know that. A few days ago, Sunday I think, I started writing a short story for submission. It wasn't quite going how I had planned it, … Continue reading A few days down, a ton more to go. #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Open when you feel like giving up on something… #openwhen
It’s okay to give up. It’s okay to say you can’t do something anymore. It’s okay when the dream you had isn’t exactly the reality you found. It’s hard, and it’s not easy. But I will support you in any and all changes you feel you need to make to your life. If … Continue reading Open when you feel like giving up on something… #openwhen
Goals for the first round of the year! #ROW80
Well, it's the start of a new round, meaning I have to make some goals up. I certainly should have been thinking about this a lot sooner than just last night and this morning. So I guess that means my goals are likely to change. 1. write 1667 words a day I really liked this … Continue reading Goals for the first round of the year! #ROW80
