Here is week two of my #AStoryADay March 2024 challenge. As a reminder, the goal of all of this is to be exposed to stories I might not have otherwise come across – to experience new (to me) writers (though I’ll also do “not new to me writers but new to me stories of theirs”).Continue reading “A Story a Day: March 8-14, 2024”

A Story a Day: March 1-7, 2024
In 2022, I made a goal (and met it!) to read a new story every single day for the entire year. It was a lovely experience, but it was a LOT of work to put together. Thus, I decided not to repeat it for 2023. Though as the year went on, I found I missedContinue reading “A Story a Day: March 1-7, 2024”
Killing Friends (on paper, of course)
When I opted to do the Kickstarter to raise funds for the cover of Wherever Would I Be, I was able to include some add ons to the project. This is a way for the project to earn extra money. I spent a lot of time checking out other projects to see what was commonContinue reading “Killing Friends (on paper, of course)”
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: 3D
This year for Christmas, a couple of dear friends gifted me something that I never would have thought to get for myself – and I love that it shows how well they know me. (Thanks Cody and Jim!!! ❤) If you are new here and didn’t already know, I have a love of the storyContinue reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: 3D”
Winter Dance Party
Last night, I attended a tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and Big Bopper at the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay, WI. This was not an event that would have probably caught my attention, despite my love for all things live music. But when my bestie asked if I’d want to go along with herContinue reading “Winter Dance Party”
The Surprisingly-Ongoing Saga of Eric
Eleven years ago, I got a new phone number. And for the first time, I truly understood what Ellis was singing about in her song GeorgeAnne. Now, if you’ve never had the pleasure of attending an Ellis gig – you need to if you ever get the chance. Especially if you love stories. My favoriteContinue reading “The Surprisingly-Ongoing Saga of Eric”
He’s Here. He’s There. He was in Chicago.
When I first heard about Ted Lasso, I had no interest in watching it because I don’t really have an interest in soccer (a.k.a. football). We didn’t have the option to play it where I grew up (tiny town, minimal extra-curricular activities – so small my school had to join with another just to haveContinue reading “He’s Here. He’s There. He was in Chicago.”
Research: Murder Mystery Style
When I made the decision to pursue writing my murder mystery story I’d been kicking around for a few years, I knew that I wanted to take the time to make sure everything was written correctly. I’ve spent so many hours watching detective procedurals on TV, but I’ve also heard about instances were said showsContinue reading “Research: Murder Mystery Style”
Research: Superhero Style
I love research. I love diving down a rabbit hole of information in search of that one specific detail I need. I could spend an entire day doing nothing but research and go to bed happy. (Of course, the need for a roof over my head and food on my table means my attention isContinue reading “Research: Superhero Style”
(A Lack of) New Years’ Resolutions
I very rarely make resolutions mostly because I don’t view Jan 1 as a fresh start – it’s just the next day on the calendar to me. I am a goal setter – I just don’t typically wait for the ‘new year’ to start them. There are a few exceptions. One year, I decided IContinue reading “(A Lack of) New Years’ Resolutions”
