Day 18 NaNoWriMo -A New Day

It’s amazing how each day of our lives can be so different! This last week I’ve been struggling to write and hold down my day job. Even yesterday, Saturday, my favorite day of the week was a struggle. But today was a new day. I’m so grateful every morning that I wake up, and days […]

Day 9-17 NaNoWriMo- what happened??? #

I’ve still been writing, just not as much and I totally slacked off my blog. 😦 So what happened and why? First there was the 20booksVegas conference. Amazing. Inspiring. Exhausting. Then I went to San Diego to visit my kids for the weekend. I love hanging out with my kids and grand babies!!! Both trips […]

Day 8 NaNoWriMo – Time Management as a Theme

Day 8 blog – but I was so tired last night I didn’t hit publish. So I’m doing it bright and early before my flight out of sin city! :] The 20Books Vegas conference has been amazing. And exhausting. I’ve taken a small notebook worth of notes and it will take a few weeks to […]

Day 7 NaNoWriMo- Being Creative for a Living!

583 words this morning!! Yay! The 20BooksVegas sessions started earlier today but I still managed some good words in my Delta 3 novel! I had a sweet email from a friend whose daughter has read all 7 of my YA space opera books and is anxiously waiting for this next one! 💜 This is what […]

Day 6 NaNoWriMo… not very many words today

First full day of the conference and I only got in 383 words this morning before the sessions started. But as I heard most of the day from different speakers and peers, it’s consistency and passion that matters most. We will all have days that don’t go quite right or life happens and we can’t […]

Boeing: a Seattle Adventure

One of my goals is to visit as many space museums and launch centers that I can around the United States and worldwide. It’s just a passion of mine, and a great motivation and inspiration for my writing. I lived north of Everett, Washington for many years and never realized what an impact the Boeing […]

Become a Tourist in Your Hometown!

I’ve been lucky enough to have lived in some beautiful places: the rugged high desert of Colorado, the majestic mountains of Montana, the lush Washington coast, and the amazing Treasure Valley of Idaho. The past few years I’ve realized that although I’ve lived happily among the best nature has to offer in my Northwest corner of the […]
