Last month, some of the members of my local writers' group decided they wanted to start doing a monthly writing prompt. It then occurred to me that I haven't written a new short story since I moved away from my other writing group, seven or so years ago! Since I already posted a few of... Continue Reading →
Witchy Wednesday – Inspiration Spell
Not too long ago in the Smart Witch Community, there was a request for an Inspiration Spell. I found this one over on the Llewellyn site, and liked it so much, I decided to turn it into a graphic. I get the feeling, as I start to rework my Maeve Sawyer series, I'll be using... Continue Reading →

MM – I’m a REAL Writer
Today marks the day that I feel I've become a real writer. No, not because I'm working on my fifth Maeve Sawyer book (for a total of seven, first draft novels sitting on my hard drive).

MM – Write-a-Thon
Hubby put together a brand new computer for me today (thanks hon!), so while I'm busy getting things situated, I'm doing another #MicroblogMondays style post. Below is my Facebook status update from June 11th - As many of you are aware, I'm a huge NaNoWriMo proponent. If it weren't for the gang at the Office... Continue Reading →
