I write lesfic, and I write religion, and the two do not often mix. There are some places that this works, but most likely, whatever I write with a women loving women bent and religion is not going to take off. I know this, but still I write it. Why? Because lesbians are Christians and … Continue reading Religion in lesfic #brokentaboos #amwriting #shortstory

Partners in Fighting Crime #WIPpetWednesday #Snippet #WIP #Excerpt
I've been working on this novel for a week or so now. I thought it was crime/mystery at first. I realized the other day, it most definitely is not. It is a psychological thriller through and through. I even looked up a definition of it and sent it to my spouse going this, this, this, … Continue reading Partners in Fighting Crime #WIPpetWednesday #Snippet #WIP #Excerpt
I am Infertile #infertility #pregnancyloss #trauma #birthtrauma
There's a lot weighing on my mind right now, so forgive me if this is jumbled. August is a particularly rough month in our house, and the closer we get to the end of the month, the worse it is. It goes all the way back to 2017, when I became pregnant in late February … Continue reading I am Infertile #infertility #pregnancyloss #trauma #birthtrauma
Let’s talk about outlining #amwriting #outlining #plottervpantser
Let's talk about outlining for a minute or two. I have been seeing on Facebook a lot of conversation about having inspiration and being able to find inspiration and how some people just don't get the juices to write very often. I'm a firm believer that thinking like that is putting limits on yourself. Whether … Continue reading Let’s talk about outlining #amwriting #outlining #plottervpantser
A late #WIPpet but a WIPpet
I'm late today! It's been an awful couple of days and anticipated coming week for me. Super stressful. I haven't even written the last two days; it's been that bad. Anyway, I have started a new book, titled Stone's Mistake. It may or may not turn into a series. Today I'm cutting to the chase. … Continue reading A late #WIPpet but a WIPpet
A bittersweet turn #WIPpetWednesday #WIP #AmWriting
We're back to it! This may be the fastest I have ever written, but De-Termination is rapidly coming to an end for me. I have three chapters left to write today and the novel is done. I'm already at 101,000 words, which I've written in less than three weeks. But alas, today is WIPpet Wednesday, … Continue reading A bittersweet turn #WIPpetWednesday #WIP #AmWriting
There’s Something Peculiar About #Trauma
I'm currently writing a novel that has a lot of trauma for one of my main characters happening within it, not only that, but it is very clear she has experienced similar trauma before. There's something peculiar about trauma for sure. Trauma changes us. It changes the way we think and the way we behave. … Continue reading There’s Something Peculiar About #Trauma
A Mission and a Risk #WIPpetWednesday
And here we are at ANOTHER WIPpet Wednesday. So excited to be here. =P I'm sharing from a book titled De-Termination, which is the second Quarter Life book. I published Unbound in 2015! That seems like so flipping long ago, it's hard to imagine. I didn't realize it had been that long. This book has … Continue reading A Mission and a Risk #WIPpetWednesday
Be kind, Rewind! #writingtip
A few years ago, my spouse was starting a new job with a new manager and this said manager kept getting frustrated with my spouse. You see, my spouse has a couple common phrases that he says ALL the time and one of those phrases is "Sure, sure." So every time this manager would ask … Continue reading Be kind, Rewind! #writingtip
