Crash Landing

I’ve read more than 106 books since I purchased my Kindle and a Kindle Unlimited subscription in July of 2024. That’s not counting the audible books, and physical books. I consider myself an avid reader. In my adventures in reading I’ve learned that a book with too many errors and poor editing can be hard to read. As someone who also considers herself an author, I want the same thing for all…

I’m working on a Fiverr account where I’ll be offering basics proofreading services. Until that account is up and running please follow this link for more info! Also, I’m coming back soon. Eventually.

By the end of February, I will be shutting down this site. While it kills me to do so, I have chosen not to renew the plan that I’m paying to keep it. This has been a lovely wonderful place for me to go to post about my thoughs and feelings, and to mostly make myself laugh at my own jokes. I have shared things about myself here that people in my real life don’t know about me. Because some how…

Daily writing promptDo you trust your instincts?View all responses NO. A resounding NO. Not anymore at least. When I quit my day job in May, my instincts told me that it was a good idea, that the reason I told myself I was quitting would be fruitful, that everything would pan out and turn out good. Or maybe it was the feeling of all the people in my life that were supportive of my decision. My…

If you’d like something to read, have a gander at this LINK. Or click the image below. It’s not the best image, I made it in about five minutes it’s while laying in bed with my glasses off lol If I write any new fiction that isn’t PFN/The Shards of Arynthel related, it is posted in Vocal. I also submit to challenges in the misguided hope that I might win something lol. Unlike here, I am able…

Most of my writing I have shared freely and happily. “Black Friday: A Zombie Story”, was initially shared on Facebook via the “Notes” feature. Children of a certain age are too young to even remember that was once a thing. It eventually moved to a “Black Friday” page. Every single (mostly unfinished) story was shared via Facebook or this website. Usually with very little fanfare, usually only…

The beauty of having a blog that no one reads, especially no one I know, is that I can say things here that I wouldn’t say to someone I know in person or, say, on my personal Facebook. Like my feelings about the results of the 2024 Presidental Election. I do not talk about the election or politics with anyone I know. Not my husband, my sister, my brothers, my friends. Why? Because I am one who…

Describe a family member. My daughter was born with rose colored glasses. She sees beauty and positivity and amazing things almost everywhere. She tells me I’m pretty randomly and without prompt. She may need glasses even though her last vision appointment suggested otherwise. She can find a way to compliment you, within ten minutes of being within hugging distance. Usually it’s “you’re…

What’s something you believe everyone should know. A list: Take care of your feet. They haven’t put enough research into foot transplants. Your dreams aren’t cheap or free. Despite the fact that valuing someone with a letter or a number with a decimal is ridiculous, decent grades are important. The bigger the goal the better the letter or number needs to be. Treat others with kindness. But…

Dear Mom, How is it where you are? Is the weather warm, but not to warm? Are you sitting on the porch with your coffee and a book? Has the maple tree in the front yard changed colors yet? Are you still wearing those wonky glasses, even though you don’t need them anymore? I hope you’re enjoying the peace and quiet, and just a little bit of social time from all the best people. And I hope if you…

I’m the type of person who, if I think that I am bothering you, I will take the hint, whether it is accurate or not, and I will move along, and you won’t hear from me for a while. Call it a fatal flaw. I am also the type of person who thinks, “I should message them” then completely forget to do the messaging. So, if I am not bothering you don’t take it personal. But If I am bothering you, move…

Draft Day is where I clear out my draft posts and either delete it or post it. Here’s one from September 19, 2024. When I was a kid the scariest thing I had to worry about in school were bus evacuation drills. Back when I was a kid, 115 years ago, we did bus evacuation drills. It’s where the bus stopped and took the time in the morning to show kids how to properly evacuate from a bus. Why were…

After the Prologue, the rest well be available in two ways. For a monthly fee of $2.99 on Vocal Media. Or you can subscribe for one year for $30 here on my website (links coming soon, check back). Should you subscribe, you will…

Note: I am not a movie reviewer, I just really like to watch them. And have a lot of spare time. Click image to visit the site for the movie. Many moons ago I had an idea for a story. Like most of those it fell away to nothing. But it was about a mother who loses the most important things in her life, her husband and young daughter. In essence that story would have been about death, and what it…
