Update on the Great Wattpad Experiment

Four weeks ago, I ventured onto the Wattpad platform in my Great Wattpad Experiment. My reasons for doing so were straightforward: I was looking to grow my readership. I was hoping to engage in conversation with readers about my stories. This is the update I promised on how my experiment is going. My main focus on(...)

The State of the Garden

Ah, glorious spring! The long weekend in May (Victoria Day) has long been held as planting day in the Ottawa region where I live. In past years, I’ve held off another week or two because of the threat of frost (eager beavers tended to have to replant tomatoes), but this year…this year was gorgeous.  And(...)

New! A Facebook App for Author Pages

Good morning! It’s Social Media Monday here on the blog, and after a couple of weeks of being absent (read: trying to get my act together!), I’m back with a very cool thing that I only just learned about. (In my defense, it’s apparently fairly new. ) Did you know that Facebook has an app(...)

Cat Thursday

Bea from Bea’s Book Nook suggested I should feature Abigail on Cat Thursday, a weekly meme hosted by True Book Addict.  Because Abigail is just so darned cute, and I happen to think there’s no such thing as too many cute cat pics (even on the Internet!), I agreed. You’re welcome.   If you’d like(...)

Stuff and Birthday Things

Here’s what’s going on in the life of this writer: 1. It’s spring!!! Really truly for real this time, I swear. I have proof: 2. It’s warm enough to work in my outdoor “office”. 3. My veggie garden is prepped and ready for planting on Monday. My daughter is home visiting from Newfoundland, and I’ve(...)

Throwback Thursday, Writer-Style: An Ode to Mom

Because Mother’s Day is coming up, I wanted to share with you a poem that I wrote for my mother when I was about 18 or so. Mom has been gone for seven years now, but I still think of her almost every day…and I still stand by every word of what I wrote.  Here’s(...)

My Cup Runneth Over…

It’s 7:30 a.m. as I write this, and already it has been one of “those” days. Oh, it started out well enough. At 5:30 a.m., the dog and I went for a beautiful walk along the river… …and watched the sunrise…   It was a grand way to start the day, don’t you think? Then(...)

Because Warrior Angels Do It Better!

Happy Friday, everyone! I wanted to give you a heads-up about a special Grigori Legacy event happening next week: With the awesomely efficient help of the fabulous Janice (of Demon Librarian reviewer fame), I’m turning the interview tables in a four-day blog hop where, instead of asking the questions, bloggers have agreed to answer them! It’s(...)
