2022 was a helluva year. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Apparently, whoever is writing my life story gave me a bit of a break over the summer. Then, just when I was building motivation to start publishing again, they threw a tragic plot twist into the works. My …
Feeling Like A Character
Over the past week, I’ve had the urge to apologize to every character I’ve ever written, or hell, even read. Why, you ask? It seems, that whoever is writing my life decided to take it in a different direction. Instead of the happy-go-lucky, making-the-best-of-it, life I’d been leading has turned into a comedy of mishaps. …
Life Drama And Writing
I knew I missed a blog or two, turns out it’s been 4. Sorry, it’s been a wild ride on my side of the keyboard. I’m sure I’ve mentioned in the past, I stopped working to be a caregiver to my husband. We live on the West Coast, 5600km away from my mother, who still …
Writing and Life
It’s been an eventful (not fun) few weeks in my non-writing life which required writing to be put on the back burner to care for myself and my family. In unrelated yet just as devastating news, I seem to have angered the gods of Amazon and all books have been purged from the behemoth. They …

(Hopefully) My New View
So, it’s been a busy week. Even though I wasn’t really ready to buy a house back east, I went to the bank to see if I had any options. He basically handed me money and said go for it. (Kids, make sure you do what ever you can to maintain good credit! It may …
More Ideas Than Time
So, life is getting in the way and a move across the country is moving from maybe to definite. (Cue the panicked look around my cluttered office when I realize I’m going to have to start sorting the piles of papers) Stupid me, put the cart before the horse and I saw an amazing …
A Day In The Life
So yesterday was a bust.(sorry, it made me late with this post) The plan was to take Mr. Lyn to the lab for blood work, come back home, and write all day. What actually happened? We got in the car. The car wouldn’t start so I had to make very rapid alternate arrangements to …
