I thought I would bring attention to something

I just noticed this. I keep a close eye on my newsletter subscribers because I don’t want people on there who don’t interact. Many people have been signing up through WordPress (here), and I was concerned they didn’t realize that they were signing up for my newsletter. When it clearly states that it is for my newsletter, not the blog.

Well, I have seen this a few times today –

Note that it clearly states they were added via wordpress, but they unsubscribe with the reason that they di...

Interviews

Through the years some folks have asked if I would do interviews. If it’s a Q&A where I can fill in information and get back to them, I am happy to oblige. Far easier on both our parts to be able to do it on our own time. Right now I can’t do live, but do hope maybe one day to be able to. I hope to do it one-on-one with you, as the reader, asking me questions too. Sort of how YouTube folks will do a live, you ask the question, and they answer? That sort of thing.

Until then I will list review...

Birth of a Princess – Chapter One

Kylarra woke exhausted, worn out, beyond depleted. She lay in bed, staring at the rafters of the home she’d grown up in all her life. Her entire existence . . . it was built up in her mind. Were they all lies? Out of nowhere, she remembered the conversation she’d shared with Mila when that man was there. He’d all but pried at her, trying to garner information. Did he sense something different? What was his name? Alex?

“Does Mila?” she whispered. Did her own best friend think her, “off?” Quiet...

Sent Birth of a Princess off

So funny. I was going to write, “Dark Illusions.” Not sure which one, but one of them. Caught myself before the brain fully formed it, so who knows.

Friday I was able to send Birth of a Princess off as planned. Kept having things pulling me away from the computer so I’m actually very glad I could get it out. Then my computer acted up and made me have to restart the entire thing. Always that final read through when everything begins to pull me away and need my attention.

I am about to begin...

Started Secrets Below Gargoyle Cavern

Yesterday I started to write Secrets Below Gargoyle Cavern I am already at 3,448 words for two days worth of writing so the story is flowing pretty well.

Also, I don’t know if any of you are on Parler (pronounced par-lay), but I saw a post from someone I follow on Instagram so I was all . . . lemme see. It’s touted as a free speech social network, more so for those who’ve been banned and thrown off Twitter, Facebook, etc. Quickly you realize it does lean toward conservatives using it mostly...

Took a bit of an unintended break

I didn’t really have plans to go poof. It just happened, then I looked at the calendar and realized I did.

Yesterday I finished writing Creations of the Galaxy. With the fact that it’s only been approximately 3.5 months-ish, I was kinda surprised. Yes, it’s a bit shorter than normally when I stop. My average is around 80K or even 85K. I stopped this one at 74,463 words.

So not too much shorter, but yeah it’s still shorter. Now, could I have pushed it out? Sure. I could’ve kept writing, bu...

Just keep going

Gonna start this with some adorable photos that I took yesterday of the baby cottontail growing up in our yard. Sadly (not sure how) his family must not have survived because he’s the only one I’ve seen. Mom and Dad show up here and there, but I haven’t seen siblings. Unless they (the rabbits) tend to have other nests in other yards. I don’t know how that works so dunno. But this lil guy in is grass that is only about 2 inches tall and he’s the size of my hand.

Right now there is a lot g...

What do they really want?

Note – I have been working on this over the past few days because part of me is fully aware that I may face attacks. I did when I voiced an opinion recently. They said to me that I would be very easy to find – a personal threat. They also called me a name I won’t repeat here. I had people tell me my dogs should be taken away. For no other reason than to shut my voice down. Darkness. It’s just darkness. I have also found the past few days that my computer has been acting up and I am being pulled ...

Why them?

Why choose a partner? Why choose that particular individual as a partner?

Goes along with the theme of relationships in my head as of late. This is a question though that I’ve been focused on for a while, but I wanna say it was around late last year that I really started to put it in the back of my mind to percolate. I’ve written a post on here before about asking ourselves why we want a partner, after hearing whatever it was that inspired the thought. I don’t remember what it was. I think it...

Quiet somber day

Just feels like it, doesn’t it? All the posts honoring the fallen and showing gratitude for them, for their families, all of it. It’s been nice to see the quiet reflective atmosphere halt all the rest for a minute. I haven’t lost anyone who was in the military close to me, but it does usually bring up thoughts of my father since he was in the military, and I lost him. (Two separate things.) I sometimes think about if he had died in war, or while serving in general, how I’d feel on this day. Woul...
