Keep Writing. Ignore Idiots.

Keep Writing. Ignore Idiots.

If only it were that easy, Sweetie Pies. Do you remember when your dream/vision/goal was nothing more than an oversimplified idea that was tossed out amidst coffee and small talk? Friends and family told you that you should totally write that book/produce that album/paint/fly a plane — until you started to take your idea seriously. Maybe … Continue reading »

A Jesus Encounter

Writing About the Single Woman

Writing About the Single Woman

Sweetie Pies, I have to be honest. I’ve had time to write over the last week or so. My campaign work is over, my Thanksgiving travels afforded me blocks of time with little to do, and my freelance work won’t start picking up until later this week. So, why in the world would I let … Continue reading »
