Excitement or Extortion? A Guide to Gifting

This is something that harks back to The Old Country of Broads, no matter our ethnicity or class. Don't kid yourself. A woman with an engagement ring so large it can only be looked at through a pinhole in a shoe box will, yes, register for a silicon dish-rack. Yes, she will. Don't laugh and don't ask what other silicon the dish-rack matches.…

Quotes, Memoirs, and Books on Writing I've Read to Avoid...Doing It

Working on my memoir, I've turned to many, many (many many, too many) books with tips on how to get started, organized, and inspired.  I also read a lot of what other authors say about the process and will share quotes here, as well.  I'll begin with my favorite quote, well, one of them.

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love questions themselves like locked rooms or books written in very foreign tongues.  Do not now seek the answers which…

In the Dark



I always was afraid at night

Into the darkness, I would stare
And look for monsters waiting there.
My fear has lasted all my life,
E’en after I became a wife,
Though I must admit it’s better when
There’s someone sleeping near you, then.
But still the…

Laying Low in Paradise Review

Laying Low In Paradise by Kristy K. James

She is the author of Reluctant Guardian, A Fine Mess, and The Stranger in my Head.

For those who love Cinderella stories, this book would be for you.

A very good romance story that you could read in a day leaving you relaxed and entertained till the last page. In my opinion the money spend to buy the book worth it.

Advice? Short Story Collection

How do you know that you have enough stories to make a collection? Do most of the poems need to be published first? And is the arrangement of the stories instinctive? 

With summer coming on I need to re-arrange my writing schedule (loose as it is.) I wish I still had the stamina to stay up till 3 A.M. writing consistently. Age does that, yes?
