You're so vain - NOT ~ #MondayBlogs

I hate to drive. There, I said it. I can and I have, but as far as I am concerned driving is an evil necessity when you live in Suburbia. I am lucky because hubby usually doesn’t mind being the main driver in the family (besides I have a lousy sense of direction, thank goodness for GPS), but that means I am relegated to his busy schedule.I made plans to attend an event down by my sister’s place and he isn’t available to take me. So I decided to be a big girl and take care of my own transporta...

Time to catch her breath ~ Weekend Writing Warriors / #8sunday / 04/03/16

Hi! Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday round. Every week writers post 8-to-10 sentences on their blogs from a published or unpublished book. Then we "hop" around and leave comments on each other's snippets. Whether our work is already published or in progress, the helpful comments help us become stronger writers on our next WIP. We welcome EVERYONE's comments.

Writer Prompt Wednesday - March 30, 2016

Welcome back to my new weekly feature, just for fun.
Every Wednesday I am going to post a random picture I find online (and yes, I will make sure not to violate any copyrights)and I will ask everyone to contribute to a "story" by adding a sentence in the comments.
Be sure to read the comments before yours so that we actually write a continuous story inspired by the picture.
Got the plan?   Good.Here's this week's picture:

Fear ~ #MondayBlogs

We hear tales of terror from across the globe and worry about our own vulnerability. Could these heinous acts happen where we are during our normal daily routine?
According to the book Psychology of Terrorismedited by Bruce Bongar, the main goals of terrorist acts are to promote insecurity and disrupt everyday life. We watch repeated news reports with graphic footage of bombed out buildings, rows of body bags, tearful interviews of people looking for loved ones, and read names of the dead and...

The Invisible ~ #MondayBlogs

There are chronic illnesses that can’t be seen by others but still can make a person feel like sh*t. Sufferers of these chronic conditions deal with pain, exhaustion, muscle weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and more “lovely” annoyances. In some cases, what is more annoying is the lack of compassion and support for people who undeniably feel like they are very much alone. Constant accusations of laziness, hypochondria, excuses and outright lies can send a person w...

I Would Do It Again ~ #MondayBlogs

Working as a freelancer, in any position, can be nerve-wracking. There are no guarantees of income, paid vacations, or health care. A writer and any creative artist must also split themselves between the creative right-brain and the no-nonsense business left-brain. It certainly isn’t easy.
But after 35+ years of freelancing with only a few years of W-2s in there, I would do it all again if I were starting over.
Not only have I worked as a freelance writer, I’ve also worked out of my own home a...
