WIP – The Fire Inside

The Holiday Dumps
Writing is never easy. Writing with Major Depressive Disorder is the worst. There are times when I just don’t feel it. The words don’t come. I can’t visualize a scene. My characters and/or muse just doesn’t speak. For me, there is no worse time for writing than the holidays. I’m far from family (which is… Continue reading The Holiday Dumps

Permission To Feel by Marc Brackett, Ph. D is one of those books that can easily be called a game-changer.

Book Review: The Kindness Method
The Kindness Method by Shahroo Izadi is a well-researched addition to the typical self-help section of the bookstore. I have to make a confession. This one took me way longer to finish than it should have. I actually put it down pretty early deciding that the book wasn’t for me. Here’s why: Shahroo Izadi is… Continue reading Book Review: The Kindness Method

#LineByLine Challenge – Day Six
I apologize for missing a few days in the challenge. Both my son and I have had autoimmune flares the last few days. Just that time of year, I guess. Because of that, I wasn’t really writing and just trying to recover as quickly as possible. This next excerpt from my WIP is from the… Continue reading #LineByLine Challenge – Day Six

#LineByLine Challenge – Day Two
Today’s #WIPLineBYLine Challenge post takes place in a community clinic on Chicago’s south side. Writing this scene was bittersweet for me, as is a lot of this new version of the novel. This may be an Urban Fantasy with horror, suspense, and romantic elements, but the setting is my home and the characters are my… Continue reading #LineByLine Challenge – Day Two
