Writing

I put my kids to bed at nine, my husband to bed at eleven. Then, if everything in my house is in order, which it never is, I write… Though I didn’t fancy writing, until recent years, it is now my obsession. When I’m not writing, I’m thinking about how each situation could fit into a future novel. Nights I lie in bed, not having typed or written about the stories filling my head, are restless. Why creating stories and forming them into words, sentences, and characters makes me feel so fulfilled, I will never know. I’ll also never know why I cut ten inches off my hair… So many mysteries in life.

New Desk

Greetings Fellow Earthlings,
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and are as excited for the new year as I am.

Until now, all my writing has been done while on a couch, bed, dining room table, vanity set, the car, a park bench, and probably several other places. But now I have a real desk! My thoughtful husband got me this desk for Christmas and we assembled it together, despite our boys crawling all over everything, hiding small pieces in their mouths, and carving holes into the wall with the screwdriver. I’m hoping the desk increases productivity so I can publish novels more often.

I’m making writing a more consistent and scheduled part of my life. I have an itinerary for writing and publishing my books with a goal of producing a novel every 6 months. Creating a book is more work than I ever fathomed, but the joy I experience while writing makes it worth it.

Hi fellow readers!

I’m in the process of revising the Cleo: Under the Surface manuscript to include the edits from our editor. She’s brilliant and has published a few books herself. I’m also adding pictures and posts on my social media pages (see links at the bottom of the page). I’m looking forward to publish-day, then maybe I can take a few days’ break? Yeah right. Thanks for coming to my website and feel free to send me a comment. Please subscribe!
