Today, I read an email from one of the authors I subscribe to. I can’t tell you her name because I get so many newsletters, I forget. Anyways, she talked about having anxiety all her life, how she feels better working from home, which is her sanctuar...

Ah, we are reaching the end of the first month of 2025. How are those resolutions going? I’ve been doing as well as I can, although I have not been writing as much as I wanted to. It’s not an excuse, but I have had another death in my family, this ti...

It’s almost the middle of the first month of the new year. Not much has happened since I last blogged. Well, except I’m doing four reading challenges instead of two, this year. The original two were the Book Girls Guide and Agatha Christie monthly re...

Hello my Lovely Loves! Yes, I know I haven't blogged much this year, but to be fair, I haven't written much at all! This is the first year since 2018 where I didn't write or self-publish any books. It's been a stressful year, so I just read and read ...

Please, please, please forgive me for not writing sooner. I have really been into my reading zone and have already read 183 books, and that's not including book box series, which counts as one title but has like five books in one. I have also read no...

Happy New Year, Loves! Ok, I'm a little late.. and I haven't written a blog in months. Not to be full of excuses but I got sick a few times during the holidays and then went into an epic reading zone (phase) which I'm still currently in, so I haven't...

Computer hackers aren't new. There was even a 90s movie about it starring a young Angelina Jolie and her then husband Johnny Lee Miller. But today with the great dependency we have on apps and phones, hackers have come at us from all sides and angles...

Creating titles to books has always come naturally to me because all of my poetry books have been inspired by my own life's experiences. Never Mind the Abyss: A Book of Poetry and Prose, dealt with love, life and spirituality; Agents of Fortune:...

For some reason, it was difficult for me to write this week’s blog. It’s on a subject that is dear to me, supporting my fellow indie authors. Yet, there’s only so much we can do to support each other. Nevertheless, I make an effort to do so. I’m also...

Today, I wanted to write about the importance and pain in the ass, social media is for Authors, Writers and other Creatives. Social media is where we connect, or at least attempt to, our audience by accumulating Followers. I also found a community, w...

Imposter syndrome. Everyone deals with it, unless they're self-confident or cocky. I am neither. Well, on bad days. On good days, I actually think I'm talented. I read back my work, nodding my head and smiling, "Why yes, this is some re...

May is Mental Health Awareness & Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month. I happen to have Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm not going to go into the criteria but having this mental illness is extremely exhausting. Both mentally and ph...

There are a lot of great reasons to self-publish and you probably know them by now. Main one for me is that I have control of my work.. except when I don’t. Using certain self-publishing sites like Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing aka KDP, can cause...

Yesterday, I celebrated 5 years of being a full-time writer. I posted about it on my socials and received a lot of congratulatory comments. That is, until I saw someone said they were envious of me. Little did that person know, the actual reason I be...

I never know exactly what to say or where to start when it comes to blogs. This is kind of my first blog. That I can remember that is. Once upon a time, maybe 10 years ago, I had a WordPress page and probably wrote there. But I can't remember what I ...
