Confessions of a Drama Queen
I am a Drama Queen. And everybody in my whole family just rolled their eyes. Seriously. I know they did. How DARE they? You see, I’m the baby of my family. Drama was how I got attention. It was how I made sure they… Continue Reading “Confessions of a Drama Queen”
10 Days
My mom gave me this mug a few years ago while I was working on a manuscript called Paint Chips. At the time, I doubted the novel would ever find a publisher, let alone an audience. Still, I wrote. And wrote. And wrote. I… Continue Reading “10 Days”

A Novel Helped Me Mourn
A few years ago a friend of mine died. She’d been sick for a long time. I’m talking years. One health issue after another. When she passed away, I was sad. Extremely sad. The problem was, I just couldn’t seem to mourn. I cried.… Continue Reading “A Novel Helped Me Mourn”

Quaking in my Boots
This weekend, I spent a little quality time with the nurses and doctors in the Emergency Room. I wore mismatched socks. They took my blood. It was a great (eye-roll) way to spend the afternoon. Wonky heart. Well. That wasn’t the doctor’s official diagnosis.… Continue Reading “Quaking in my Boots”
