My word for 2019

It’s a new year. Yes, it’s a time for resolutions and goal setting, but it’s also a time for reflection. A time to look within, to review what’s behind us as we prepare for what’s ahead. As a self-proclaimed lover of lists, you can bet I’ll be writing out bulleted lists of goals and scribbling…

8Sentence Sunday (4): A Break in the Clouds

For this week’s eight, I’m taking you back inside To Catch A Fetch. In this scene Devyn and Ronan are driving through the Pennsylvania countryside on a gray morning. The time spent on the road softens Devyn’s resolve and she begins to ask questions about Ronan’s claim to be a ghost hunter. He uses the…

8Sentence Sunday (3): The Scent of a Woman

No, I’m not referencing the Al Pacino/Chris O’Donnell flick from the early 90’s (what was his catch phrase? Hoo-ha! or Whoo-yeah! or something…).

Did you get your free bagel?). Ronan Evans, the hero of To Catch A Fetch, is a man of simple…

A Kiss to Build A Dream On

That’s what tomorrow’s post is, really. I dream of landing a literary agent – the one who will be the perfect match for me and my novel(s). This Valentine’s Day, fate may smile upon me, and with a little help from a certain Cupid, my dream could come true. Tomorrow morning I enter Cupid’s Literary…

My First Eight, And I’m Already Late

Ooops. Somehow I’ve managed to blow this before I even get started! Lemme splain: last week I caught a tweet by writing buddy Shannyn Schroeder about signing up for something called 8SentenceSunday. Intrigued, I poked around to learn more. My poking  (more clicking, actually) led me to the Weekend Writing Warriors website – a fresh…
