January 1, 2012 – 9:32 am

  It’s a new year. Everyone is doing these turning of time posts. A year in review. Resolutions. Goals. Hopes. Dreams. Prayers… All I can think is… I don’t wanna fail. So I’m not doing any of that. I’m not setting myself up with goals or resolutions that I’m not going to come close to [...]

There and Back Again

August 23, 2010 – 2:53 pm

I’m sure that some of you have noticed (assuming there are even still followers out there at this point), that my blogging here has dropped significantly. It’s been a rough summer to cap a very rough year and a half or so. The artistic muses have escaped from me again. Every once in a while [...]

Meeting my Muses

June 30, 2009 – 7:42 am

Some writers talk about their muse, like they have only one.  I have an entire family of muses; some of them I know REALLY well, and some of them I’m still meeting and learning about.  (It’s almost like marrying into a family and learning about your in-laws over the course of time.)  My muses ACT [...]

Obligation

May 14, 2009 – 8:51 am
