There’s one good thing about working for yourself and that’s you can switch chores when you need to. Rain is forecast tomorrow so I took two hours off work this afternoon to go pull weeds from the garden beds. How come those things bloom faster than flowers? Something I learned when I decided to freelance was if…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Revisiting Characters
Get outside while you can has become my new slogan. One day sunny and warm, the next three, chilly and overcast/rainy. I think spring’s forgotten to visit this year. At least it makes you think about making the most of every day! With the great outdoors not calling my name, I got lots of work…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-We Made It To 700 TWL Followers
This site started as a way to keep myself accountable for my writing. My intent was to use it to keep myself to a writing schedule. My first idea was to keep it private. However, I knew other writers might be struggling too so I turned it into a blog. It’s grown, it’s evolved, and this week…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Long Term Goals
The last Ramblings of the month…yes, April flew by which got me thinking about my goals. Not just goals for the rest of the year but long term ones. Getting some mysteries finished and published and maybe even starting a cozy series is on my list. It will soon be May and on the 6th,…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-What A Difference A Week Makes
I have a confession to make. I’ve had to drag myself inside to write this Ramblings. Last week at this time, it was snowing and cold. Today, sunny, warm, and a chair on the deck was calling my name. I thought I’d continue reading the mystery I’m half way through but the sun was too…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-You’ve Come to the Write Place
Just when you think winter’s history, it comes roaring back. More major snowstorms this week, and yes, it’s snowing as I write this. Okay, winter let’s be done with you so this writer can head outside. I always say there’s a silver lining in everything that happens. I didn’t want to venture out this week which meant…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Refueling
Happy April. The days are getting longer but the weather turned chilly again. I know spring’s out there somewhere. I had a week off from teaching and tried to use it wisely. I had the opportunity to e-mail and chat with one of my private students who I’ve been mentoring for about six months. It’s…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Goodbye March, Where Did You Go?
It seems like just last week I was saying goodbye February. Do you often find when you’re busy time seems to go at supersonic speed? Tomorrow is officially the last day of the March classes and then I have a whole week free of teaching. During that time, I hope to get caught up with some of…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-2020 Schedule Just Posted
I’m happy to report that the snow is melting. I hope we’ve seen the last of this winter…after all it is spring next week. I just posted my teaching schedule for 2020. I hadn’t realized I hadn’t updated that page and still had some 2018 classes on there. Any way, the new classes are added,…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Week to Be Inspired
It’s only March and guess what? The wonderful Debbi at OIRW asked me for ideas for next year’s classes. Everything is now set and planned. I’ll be posting the schedule here soon for you to check out. Once again, I’ll be teaching exclusively for OIRW. And more about this later, but there’s going to be an…
