The Importance of Being Published

As I read the title I just wrote, I realize how pretentious it sounds, but it’s true! Just bear with me while I explain. As you may know, I was at a writer’s conference earlier this summer. One of the most important things I learned was that editors and agents won’t consider working with authorsContinue reading “The Importance of Being Published”

An Urgent Need for Prayer

I have a request for you readers. I don’t usually get political, mostly because I don’t know much about it, but there’s something in the news recently that has been rubbing me the wrong way. A lot of people have been talking about the Americans infected with Ebola and there’s even been some controversy aboutContinue reading “An Urgent Need for Prayer”

Tattoos and Ponderings

I was recently talking to a close friend about a tattoo she’s thinking about getting when she asked me if I had ever thought about getting a tattoo. I said no, but it made me think. If I did get a tattoo, what would it be? What words or phrases mean enough to me thatContinue reading “Tattoos and Ponderings”

For My Grandma

I love my grandparents. And my grandma has been lovingly asking for a sample of my writing for quite some time. So I decided the easiest way to share would be here. That way the rest of you can see something creative I’ve written. This is a short story I wrote for a class earlierContinue reading “For My Grandma”

Let Gravity Go

I can’t guarantee how coherent this post will be, but there have been a few thoughts floating around in my head the past few days. Mostly, I’ve been thinking about the striking similarities between the songs “Let It Go” and “Defying Gravity”. This was sparked by recently listening to the Frozen soundtrack and soon afterContinue reading “Let Gravity Go”

Friends are Good

I know. It’s an obvious statement. Let me rephrase it: writer friends are essential for a writer. And I don’t think that just holds true for writers. I firmly believe that whatever your passion is, you will only benefit from having close friends who share that passion. This has been on my mind a lotContinue reading “Friends are Good”

Q&A #2

And I’m back! Today, I bring you a Q&A. This will be an interesting one: all the questions were supplied by one of my closest friends, Julie. She gave me some fun questions and hopefully you’ll learn a little more about me. Where does your inspiration come from? That’s a good one. If I knew,Continue reading “Q&A #2”

Happy July!

Hey all! I won’t be posting regularly for the next two weeks, as I’m going on vacation. I’ll post when I can, but I don’t know when that will be.

Baring My Soul

“Oh, you’re a writer. Are you writing a book? What’s it about?” I get asked these questions a lot. They are often followed by “Can I read it?” and “Am I in your book?”. People are curious about my experience as a writer. While I do appreciate their interest, let me just say: I hateContinue reading “Baring My Soul”

Make Everyone Happy

It’s summer and for a lot of us, that means Vacation Bible School. For the past few days, I’ve been corralling about a dozen preschoolers for two and a half hours. Because of that, I’ve been privy to the little gems that are constantly falling out of the mouths of those bundles of energy. AsContinue reading “Make Everyone Happy”
