On the last day of the school year, I was able to present two of my students a signed copy of my latest book, Romancing Mr. All-Star. The first thing that they did was flip through the pages to find their names because I used their names as characters in the book. They asked me …
WIP: Changing Routines
I’ve been trying to find the right amount of time to write along with all of my other responsibilities. That’s not always easy because I know that I write better first thing in the morning. I suppose that has a lot to do with the fact that I always did the majority of my writing …
WIP Wednesday: Stuck
I have to admit that for this Work In Progress (WIP) Wednesday, I am currently stuck in my writing. I went back in and added a few things and thought for sure this would trigger me to be able to finish, but it isn’t working that way. I am leading up to the big climax, …
Playing Catch Up on My Writing
I have so much writing to catch up, yet I can never find the time. I have sat down at the laptop multiple times today, but even going over all of my lists of ideas, nothing seemed to jump out at me with inspiration wanting to be placed on the page.
Chasing Squirrels
I know. I get it. You’re probably thinking what do squirrels and this blog have in common? Well, just hear me out. My son’s psychologist, during his appointment, diagnosed me as having ADHD.

Distractions

Update on New Organization System
Last week I shared with you that I had decided to change how I worked my business by implementing a new organization system. Currently, I am juggling 11 websites/businesses/blogs. That seems rather overwhelming, but 4 of those are connected and are E-commerce websites. The only difference among them is that they are separated due to …
Consistency is Key
In anything, whether it is writing a book or blogging, the key to success is consistency. You must have a plan to put in the work on a daily basis if you are going to see any kind of success. Skipping a day may be okay, but skipping several can completely derail your accomplishments. If …
New Year and New Goals
I’ve been slowly pathing a new path for myself, and this new year I have big plans and goals set for myself. Everything has been leading to my future success. With most goals, we often find ourselves with a plan that seems to veer off into a new direction. Personally, my writing plans have taken …
Who needs NaNoWriMo to write?
It’s the weekend, and I am back to writing. I took the week off from writing as I felt I had pushed myself too much finishing up the month of November. However, I am back to writing. I mean, who needs NaNoWriMo as an excuse to write? Certainly not I! I have so much to …
