I’m reading. A lot. I’ve always been a big reader. I just didn’t know how much so until I started the Empty Shelf challenge. I’ve decided that this is the year of reading what I want. Not what I feel obligated to. So far,… Continue Reading “Building Muscle”
The concept for My Mother’s Chamomile popped into my mind when my husband’s grandmother died. I had all kinds of passion for writing a novel about funeral directors. Problem. I knew very little about them. Even less about what went on in the business. To be… Continue Reading “Tour of a Funeral Home”
My kids had two snow days last week. I found 4 blank canvases and a box of acrylic paints. I thought, why not… Look at all that white space! All the potential. The possibility. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen to those… Continue Reading “Blank Canvas”
Paint Chips is a year old. Well, kind of. A year ago the ebook version went live on Amazon. It was a good day. It’s been a good year. It’s not done yet! I’m still trying to get the word out about Paint Chips…and… Continue Reading “Happy Birthday, Paint Chips”

The other day, I told you about Jon Acuff’s Empty Shelf challenge. Can I be completely honest? It was super difficult to empty a shelf. I’ve got a ridiculous amount of books that I don’t care to rid myself of. So. So. I cleaned… Continue Reading “One Book on the Shelf”
Jon Acuff has a pretty good idea. Clear off a shelf in your house. When you finish a book between now and December 31, 2014, you put the book on your shelf. Not sure how that works for you ereader types. You can follow… Continue Reading “The Empty Shelf”
