Why is it…
Why is it? That in the middle of the night, I’ll have a dozen ideas for blog posts…but by the next morning have none. That cats and dogs don’t mix? No matter how curious Jessie is about our new cat Midnight, I have a feeling it will take awhile for the two to become sympatico. That some decisions are harder …
Crazy Days in the Life of a Writer
I’m in the middle of the hard edit of Captive Dreams before I turn it in on Tuesday. That means I’m looking for places to tighten my writing: did I use 6 words where 2 would work? I’m adding layers. Did I realize in chapter 14 that Anna needed this conflict in her life, but not go back and sprinkle …
Supper Ideas anyone?
I hate menu planning. I hate grocery shopping. Both seem to suck the energy out of me. So I was thrilled when my good friend Heather Corbin put together a program for moms like me.

Theme Song for 2008
Here’s what I’ve decided will be my theme song for 2008. There’s something about songs. They seem to take turns encapsulating how I want to live. My Dad’s joking that this is just the song until I hear another one that catches my fancy. However, the lyrics are fantastic, and if I could actually live this way, it could be …
