Many people have skeletons in their closets. I do not, not really. I’ve aired all my “dirty laundry” – and then some. What I have is a closet full of “what ifs.” I mean this both literally and figuratively. Pushed to the back of my real closet of real things are items of clothing I...

 Day 23 – Sometimes Mr. & Mrs. Troll are just weird. Day 24 – It was a…bad day. That is all. Day 25 – What happened is, I was trying to be funny and I didn’t know the phone would delete the original photo, and then I didn’t know it would be so freakin’ tiny!...

*That’s kind of an inside joke. I think my eldest son will get it. If only he loved me enough to even read my blog. Alas… Whoa there, partner! Have you even read the other parts? Go do that first. Part One — Part Two Day Two Lunch Walked in. Immediately saw table with agent’s...

However, after Saturday it will be all writing and photography (and laundry and vacuuming and playing with dogs) all the time. Plans – I haz ‘dem!

The Pikes Peak Writers Conference was AMAZING! It was my first ever, and I am so grateful to the Pikes Peak Writers for the scholarship. I wouldn’t have been able to attend otherwise. I know no one ever has to know that I went for free, but the truth is, I’m okay with it. I...
