I know, y'all have got to be sick of wrap-ups by now (it's not like it's the last day of the year or anything....) But, since I put out my 2018 goals at the beginning of the year, I'm rather obligated to tell you how those goals went and what my goals are for next year. Actually, the latter part is an added...

Nice confusing title, no? Though in reality, that's what it is. This third part of Christine Smith's wrap-up is meant to be after the writing is completed. The truth of the matter is, my writing is STILL not completed. A lot of these questions are also answered in my NaNo wrap-up, so if there is any repeating, I humbly apologize. BUT - since...

Hello all! For this Taggy Tuesday, I've got a tag of a different sort. This was one of those nameless questionnaire thingies that apparently was passed around in other circles. Eowyn @ A Catholic Author presented as a tag (which I believe is the true identity of this little fun morsel) and she tagged all of her blogging acquaintances with it. Being a name wizard, I...

"'What do you do,’ she asked, voice low and jerking, ‘when everyone you love leaves you?’ The last words crumpled, and fresh tears sprang against the sore rims of her eyes. From the pale skin of his face, the waiter’s clear eyes held her gaze firmly, but it was a long moment before he answered. ‘You go to God Who cannot leave you,...

*Catherine peeks out from behind the back wall at the readers milling around* pppssst. *readers look up* Hey, come over here.... *readers look at each other in confusion* Yeah, you guys. Come on over here. *readers cautiously approach Catherine, who still is hiding behind the wall* Out of curiosity, have any of you seen Lia's post? *some readers nod, in others the confusion...

At last, the cold, gray and dreary month that we all call November has faded into the past. While everything else outside has been dying, inside the writer's workshops, things were very much alive. Some wrote fast and furiously, others took great care with the few little words they made. But all worked their hardest to to spread truth, light and hope through...

Hello y'all! A thousand apologies for missing last week's update!!!!! Things got rather hairy around Thanksgiving so I never got Week 3's post written and sent out in the world. As a result, this week's update is going to be loooooong.....and probably boring. So, feel free to skip this post for my next one. Unless you want to read a whole bunch of...

Hello everyone!! Please excuse the pathetic, obviously robot-written NaNo update post of (what day was it now?). Remind me never again to write an update post when my brain is fogged beyond comprehension. Today, I'm taking part of the second installment of Christine Smith's Know the Novel linkup! Also known as the bigger and better cousin to the old Beautiful Books Linkup. If...

Hey everyone!! Welp, the gloomy November days continue onward....I swear it felt like night at 2pm this afternoon. Rather a discocerting feeling that winter is now fastly approaching..... Since I haven't been on since last week, I thought I would pop in for a quick moment to update y'all on how my second week of NaNo went. Stay tuned for story snippets from The...

Hey y'all! How's everybody's November going? It's been really cold and dreary these past couple of days here at my place, perfect for writing! Today, I figured I would pop in for a quick moment to update y'all on how my first week of NaNo went. Stay tuned for story snippets from The White Rose! Thursday, November 1:  Despite the fact that I...

Photo courtesy of Elanor :) Hello all! Months and months and MONTHS ago, the original creator of the tag, Elanor, tagged me for this fun tag. You can see her original post here - provided the link still works. I understand she's closed down that blog when she moved over to her other one.....which serves me right for taking so darn long.... Also, Movie...
