Don't Budge.
Amazing how many times I have to tell someone 'I'm a writer', by way of a reminder. A magazine publisher recently (while I was interviewing her for a national article, no less!) asked me if I'd be her bookkeeper and 'mini Me'. No. Someone asked me if I was interested in cleaning houses again. No. I...

When They're Critical of You...
My bonus daughter, the one who was overly critical of me, who'd combed through my blogs for proof of 'libel', the one who left unkind comments, threats of lawsuits, and general disregard for my person...on my birthday, no less... Has now given up school, career, and everything else...to blog full...

Meditation and More
To the point where I think I need to force myself to post. Not because I don't like posting, but well, because I'm usually pretty busy now...but this is important. How I would've loved to have read through a beginning writer's failures and successes in my earlier (and even now) stages. I have to say...

One of the Characters
I'd contemplated leaving Blogit, but I got over that pretty fast. When nutty things happen within homes, relationships, or out in the public eye...I need Blogit in a big way. Grateful to be able to post anonymously and openly. Everyone needs an outlet. Husband shut my daughter's phone off for 24...

Really, Really Me
So odd. I was certain I'd posted more recently. O well. Husband's sister just got put into a leadership position in my church congregation, making me want to move just that much more. Something I'd only admit on Blogit. Suddenly my church assignments are shifting and changing, I think, because she's...

Yee-Haw.
The rodeo, one of the largest in the US, is over. Not the same experience as in years past; each year is different. I got a humbling, is what I got. On the first night I made my way down to the VIP box where I've always sat with the radio host that does a rodeo show. He was nowhere to be found. An...

It's Rodeo Time!
How on earth does almost two weeks go by without blogging? I can recall a time just a few years ago where I felt I couldn't go a day without it. That's what writing for a job will do to you, I suppose. This week is the rodeo, the one I've written for the past two years. This is my third year; I'm so...

Holy Happy Weekends, It's About Time Friday Got Here!
The Truck Rally, the Ribfest, Farmers' Market... Is it so wrong just to want to read a book in the sun all weekend? My inner wisdom says 'no, it's not.' It's been an interesting, busy week, but I'm ready for it to be over. Today was supposed to be my creative writing day, and a day where I work on...

Not Boring.
My sister just asked me what I was doing today, and I had to laugh. Calling in a phone interview to a lady that owns a men's consignment store (guy stuff, guns, camping gear, and sports clothing), getting a chiropractic adjustment, meeting with a Private Investigator that's got a story idea and...

A Toast in December
You know when some days are more charmed than others. On 'deadline day', I had every one of my articles written by 5pm. One wasn't approved yet, but I was able to tell the proofreader that it was at least in the hopper, awaiting a nod from the subject business. Do I ever know I was lucky on that...
