2014…such lofty goals I have!

Posted on January 3, 2014January 28, 20143 Comments

A Review of Divergent

Posted on December 30, 2013January 28, 2014Leave a comment

I just finished reading Divergent (Divergent Series) by Veronica Roth. For me, the pacing of this story is excellent! Similar to the Hunger Games in that ‘edge of your seat’ feel. While I enjoyed the read, I felt like the Read More…

Another year older…

Posted on December 21, 2013January 28, 20144 Comments

So today, I’m another year older–36 in fact, which feels like 35 did, and 34, and even 33. I’ve never cared too much about age, but turning 36 does make me think about my writing and writing goals. This week, Read More…

Best & Worst Present… all in one.

Posted on December 13, 2013January 28, 2014Leave a comment

Everyone’s doing those posts…talking about the holidays, best presents, worst gifts, the time when the crazy Aunt drank too much and tried to wrap the skunk outside because ‘little Mark needs a puppy!’ Well, maybe not that last one (I Read More…

Gone Girl

I am not finished with it yet, but at the moment, I’m in the middle of reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. So far this book does an excellent job of increasing the level of suspense as I read, and Read More…
