Moving Forward to 2023

Can you believe it’s almost 2023? I can’t. For those who celebrate Christmas, I hope it was a good one. I know for many here in the U.S. it wasn’t that great because of the frigid weather we had. Lucky for me, I had a nice warm blanket and a few cats to keep me warm. Now, the New Year is upon us. I often like to take the week between Christmas and New Year to come up with goals for the year. Sometimes I start out strong in January, hoping to make the best of the year, sometimes not. By February, I’ve slacked off. Come March, I wonder where I went wrong. This year, my life is in total chaos. It started a little over two months ago. Even though I’m a private person, I may write about some of what is going on in my personal life in future posts. Mainly because it might help others. But for now, I’m in a place where I wonder what’s the point in trying to set goals for the coming year when so much is uncertain in my life right now? Except, reviving this blog and writing a new story has real...

A New Story at Long Last: New Release - Finding Beauty

 I know, about time, huh? I've had a lot going on in my life lately, stuff that may become the subject of upcoming posts. Through it all, I managed to finish a story at last. This one is a reverse Beauty and the Beast story. Where it's the heroine who thinks she's the beast. So I present - Finding Beauty A handsome billionaire who doesn’t do relationships. A scarred women who knows a man like him is not for her. I buy failing businesses, turn them around, sell them for a profit. It’s what I do. Except, for one. One company I’ve held onto the longest, because of Amanda. How did a sexy computer nerd get to me? I don’t do relationships. Been there, done that. Amanda thinks she’s anything but beautiful because of her scarred face. She’s wrong. I want to show her how wrong she is, but being with her makes me long for things I’ve sworn off. She thinks I’m the beauty and she’s the beast. Can I prove her wrong and still keep from falling for her? Finding Beauty is a stand ...

Getting Back into the Swing of Things

  I’ve got a rough draft of a new story finished. Now comes the fun part of trying to make it better. And it is fun, or at least I think it is. I’m also getting back to posting here regularly. I enjoy writing these posts. Don’t know if they're actually interesting to others, but it’s out there just in case someone somewhere wants to read all my ramblings. Some days I think about challenging myself and see if I could post daily for a set length of time. Although I’m not sure if I could find that much to say. I guess I won’t know till I try, but for now, I’m more about finding focus. There are many reasons I’ve suddenly reappeared after some time away. One thing is I live with and take care of an elderly family member at the moment. That has become stress city in the past few months. Writing helps soothe that stress away. At least for a short time. The other thing is I enjoy doing this, even though I feel like I’m struggling with everything. Sometimes I struggle to get words down. Wr...

This Twitter Thingy Stuff

Many people are really up in a roar about everything happening over at Twitter. I guess I can understand, somewhat. I’m more or less an outsider looking in at the situation. I’ve never tweeted. Not once in my life. Shocking, I know. If you read my About page, then you should know that I’m not on other social media outlets. Why? Because I totally suck at them. For whatever reason, they have never held my interest. I have tried to be more active on Facebook (under my real name) but it never lasts. I get bored, and that’s it. Every once in a while I might read tweets from people, or Facebook posts, or Instagram posts of some of my favorite authors, but I have no desire to take part in being an active member of those sites. Honestly, I do not know why. It’s the way I am. This may change one day. Who knows, I might find a platform I like and that will be it. I’ll be hooked. Stranger things have happened. Right now, I find it amusing? Interesting? Not sure what the right word is. Many peopl...

Another Over Due Update

 I know I’ve been silent. A year ago, I had every intention of getting another story written and out into the world. Obviously, it didn’t happen. Anyone who might still be out there visiting this blog, I’m still here. Many times, I thought of abandoning this pen name. Starting over with something else. Yet, when the domain name came up for renewal, I wasn’t sure what to do, so I let it renew for another year. Last year when I wrote an update , I had every intention of getting another story written. In fact, I had the story started. But it turned into a mess and I wanted to get it done before the holidays. Those two things caused a great deal of frustration and stress for me, to where I abandoned the story and moved on. THE PROBLEM AT HAND I’m certain my key problem is I have an issue with perfectionism. Which honestly seems weird to me. I’ve never viewed myself as a perfectionist. In most areas of my life, I’m a ‘good enough’ type of person. Or a ‘well, at least I tried.’ But with ...
