This collection crosses genres of chick lit,… Continue reading Deep Fried and Pickled – A Book Review

I’ve been a bit caught up in moving and going through boxes in my garage and I’ve been ignoring my blog. I am so sorry but it has been a very productive week. I’ve interviewed and written pieces on five different charity runners who will be running either the half or full marathon in Asheville… Continue reading What a Week!

Most of these start off as NaNoWriMo projects but get finished up well after November. I’ve never hit 50,000 words in one month.

I’m having trouble staying focused this time of year. Normally, because of a spring marathon on the horizon, it is not… Continue reading This Time of Year

… but not what you are thinking. I am not talking about a cleanse for my body. I am doing a cleanse of my personal belongings as I get ready for a major move. Not going to talk about that today either. I participated in a webinar last week about email newsletters. Between something… Continue reading Cleansing …
