Happy IWSG Day!

January 3 question: Do you follow back your readers on BookBub or do you only follow back other authors?


I haven't been on BookBub in so long I guess I didn't know I could follow! Perhaps I need to be more active. 

So with the new year there's a lot of talk about resolution. I didn't make one this year. I decided to make sure I write at least 500 words a day. That's something I know I can do. Oh sure, I could vow to lose weight, and I probably will, but I don't want to fail the first month, so a writing goal is much easier! 

Plus, I'm going to do more marketing and platform building. Writing... that's what I want to do, but marketing is a necessity! 

What do you do to help market yourself?

Happy New Year!

Hello lovely friends! I do love the beginning of a new year! Not the resolutions though, just the birth of a new year. Time passes so fast andn I love all the things about my family that have changed over the years. How I wish my fabulous four could stay little, but they are growing to be such amazing people that I can't wait to see what they acccomplish this year! 

So to you all I pray for blessings in your year, the hopes of dream coming true, the chance to love, the chance to live, and may all your days be filled with precious memories! 

Happy New Year!

Make The Most Of It

 As authors, most of us fall short when it comes to marketing. The book business is the tough part of writing a book. I'm not the best at social media because life is busy, but I'm working on it. I would love to hear your tips and tricks of marketing and platform building. 

I feel like I'm starting over all of the time, but this time I want to learn more. Give me all of your wisdom from the blogosphere because tiktok is crazy! hahaha

I do have a launch party on Monday, November 27, for my new book, DISCOVERING CHRISTMAS, and I hope to see you all there!

Writing Together for 31 Days: FRIEND

 I love this time of year when everyone encourages each other. It's so hard these days to rely or trust others, but every now and then a true FRIEND emerges. 

You know the kind of person I'm talking about. That one person you can share your thoughts with and laugh with. That one person that gets you and doesn't judge. 

Friends should learn to love each other and be honest. I like when that one true friend knows why I might cry, why I might be laughing, and what makes me smile. 

Be the friend that you woud want in your life, and maybe... just maybe... life will be a little more fun along the way!

Writing Together for 31 Days: SPACE

Writing prompt - SPACE

An ironic word when trying to fill this space for the first day of writing. 

The next day should be easier... maybe. 

Oh, I know! I'm working on creating the perfect writing space in my house. It's going to be amazing once it's finished. Perhaps on the last day of prompts I can show it off! Happy writing everyone! 

Prompts are wonderful, and this will be a great month of writing! Join the fun and find the prompts on the Writing Togetehr for 31 Days facebook page

Break the Patterns


 I'm pretty sure I haven't blogged consistantly in quite some time, and I used to love this! 

Break the pattern.

I used to take good care of myself and considered myself quite fit. Now, I struggle to exercise. 

Break the pattern. 


What are some things you do to take care of yourself? Are there any habits you would like to stop? 

I'm ready to be unbusy with things and people that don't matter. Toxicity will surely quelch any progress you try to make. Be you. Be a better version of you! 

Be sure to say hello!

A to Z Challenge Letter C is for Crafting

Today for the A to Z Challenge, C is for Crafting and CIRCLES. That's just one of those words if you say too many times it seems to lose all meaning. 

Crafting.... I do a lot of it, and I don't seem to finish a lot of projects. When I was married, I walked into my office one day and there were post it notes on different items around the room. A note was on the computer screen that said, "I have counted 25 projects." Well, those were just the 25 he could actually see! hahaha! 

I love circles, and I'm currently painting a lampshade to resemble Kandinsky Circles.

Here's my project! I'll update when it's finished! 


What are different crafts that you like to do or have tried? Are you working on anything right now?
