• Titles On My Bookish Wish List

  

  It’s been a hot minute since I’ve put any sort of list out there, so I thought I’d do so today. Especially since I’ve got a list 35 titles long (and perhaps more) that I suddenly wish I could read. Does it have something to do with the fact that I finally have a well-paying […]

• My Writing Goals for 2021

  In 2019 I gave myself seven writing goals to accomplish by this time, this year. I completed every single one of them! Ha, no. That would be a lie *insert clip of Maury reading lie detector results in front of a live audience.* The shutdowns in early 2020 really put a damper on my earliest […]

• Why Historical Fiction Matters (to me)

  Cliches. There are so many cliches that come to mind when you’re trying to figure out how to start a blog post about writing (in general). It falls under that “nothing new under the sun” mantra. It’s like comparing every scifi show or book you read to the “Big Three” of the genre – Star […]

• The Covered Bridges of Pennsylvania

  Pennsylvania. The land of bridges. If you read my last post about the different kinds of maps, then you’ll know about topographical maps. If not, then the briefest definition of topography is the “detailed description or representation on a map of the natural and artificial features of an area” and is used mostly in the […]

• Thoughts on Publishing Temptations

  Patience is a virtue. Have your parents or grandparent or older figure in your life ever said that to you when you were younger and you threw a tantrum when you didn’t see immediate results? That’s what this Facing It post is going to be all about. Let’s look at the very definition of patience. […]
