Do Not Adjust Your Picture!
Please Do Not Adjust your picture or turn the dial? You haven’t entered, ’The Outer Limits’ or ’The Twilight Zone.’ Nope, just this right brainer’s attempt to update her blog. In other words, I’m lost in space! So please excuse the clutter and all lost data?
Outside Inn
I’ve been quiet for a long time–here. Because I write fiction full-time blogging’s not my strong suit, but I’m trying–again. Never say never! Since publishing my award winning first novel “Legend of the Emerald Rose“ I’ve become a Jack of all trades and a master of none in the ever-altering publishing market. A challenge that every writer, whether published or not toally gets. Anyhow, [...]
I’m Back
Reading a newbie’s historical romance. Great plot, engaging characters, cool subplots, but the writer’s amateurish. She needs mentoring. . . .God’s kick drops me onto my knees. Ya see, that wannabe was me 20+ years ago. Praise the Lord that Jesus keeps His promises and more importantly, His Grace extends beyond yesterday, today and tomorrow–Eternity. [...]
Out with the old and In with the new. . .We hope.
A belated Happy Birthday, Jesus, and a very merry Christmas! I wish I had something significant to share writing wise, hopefully in time I will. I’m attempting to blog as the old year ends and the new year begins. Lots of stuff went down this year, especially health wise with my family. For now, I [...]
My Blog Header Picture is . . .
. . . Cannon Beach, Oregon! I need to figure out how to impose the location name of headers….anyone familiar with WordPress speak up now please? Anyways, this is not far from where my son Chad and his wife Andrea live… in Vancouver, WA which is just across the river from Portland, where our dear [...]
Time in a Bottle — Oh, Yes Please??
Don’t you wish they’d bottle time? I do. Think of everything we’d accomplish if we could just open a bottle and extract as much time as needed to complete a task or a beloved project. “Alas, time is a pre-measured gift from God that we must never squander.” Wise words from my deceased father-in-law, Raymond [...]
Alice In Wonderland – I’m Late!!
Right now I feel like the goofy rabbit in ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ running around in circles, jumping down black holes that lead no where, and all the while watching the hands of time tick by me. Sometimes like now, I feel totally out of control. I’m just thankful that God controls the hands of time, [...]
Changing Blog Homes
The present Blog photo is one of my favorite places in the world, the Isle of Arran, Scotland! So, I just posted on my former blog site, loaded tons of friends and writers blog addresses then decided to come to WordPress. The main reason is that I will probably be setting up a new website [...]
WRITE WHAT YA KNOW WITH UNADULTERATED PASSION! There’s a lot of hype in the writing industry to ‘write what you know.’ For the longest time . . .we’re talking years, I hated that persistent rule of thumb. Then one day I had an epiphany. Hey, when it comes to the vital craft of characterization, I [...]
“I WENT TO A GARDEN PARTY TO REMINISE WITH MY OLD FRIENDS . . .” AN AUTHOR’S UPBEAT REVIEW OF A DEPRESSING SONG THAT HAS LITTLE TO DO ABOUT NOTHING . . .OTHER THAN, I LIKE RICKY NELSON AND CAN’T GET HIS BLASTED LYRICS OUT OF MY HEAD! Back peddle to Saturday – July 9th, [...]
WHO AM I . . .A WAVE TOSSED ON THE OCEAN . . .A CANDLE IN THE WIND? Yep that verse from one of my favorite CCM groups, ‘Casting Crowns,’ pretty much sums up who I am in this vast sea of infinite possibilities and yet, I say this with unrelenting hope, because God continually [...]
A CYNICAL BLOGGERS’S FIRST POST A note of forewarning to whoever reads my first Tongue-in-Cheek Blog. I am not a cynic by nature. In fact, most folks who know me — especially well, know that 99% of the time I see the cup half-full and I’m often first inline to try anything new. Adventuresome to [...]
