In my last blog I wrote that Dr. Seuss was a favorite author. Another favorite is Shakespeare.
One might think that because I love romance and Shakespeare that "Romeo & Juliet" would be a favorite love story of...

One of my favorite authors once said "I like nonesense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living." It was Dr. Seuss.
No wonder I like this writer so much.
Fantasy does awaken...

When I was a little girl I was a daydreamer. I searched the garden for fairies. I wished I could fly. I wanted to travel the roads as a gypsy. My head was filled with fairytales and I believed in the power of imagination.
Just because I am now an adult, it does not mean I've left any of it behind...

When I tell people...

Maybe I didn't wish big.
Maybe "someone" was looking out for me.
For some reason I've always felt that I was being watched over, protected somehow. And I've always felt that something better, the best part of my life yet, was waiting for me just down the road. I guess I was born with a...

I didn't really make any New Year resolutions. I didn't set any goals.
Because I tend to just live each day as it happens. And sometimes I wake up and just want to write, or play with the grandkids, or go hiking, or clean the garage.
I used to be a neat freak. I used to keep "to do lists...

I am over 10,000 words into my novel about Rochelle and Connor and the story is coming along well. I started the novel with only a vague idea of what it was going to be about. But the character came alive and it is flowing even better than I'd hoped.
I can't wait to finish this!!
