First 10,000 words done!
I have crossed the 10,000-word threshold! Perhaps I'm just really inspired, but the first 1/5th of the book has flowed onto the computer screen. I love the characters, the conflict and the break from my other WIP. Okay - no more distracting blogging. Back to work,...

OCW Fall One-Day Conference
This past Saturday, the Oregon Christian Writer’s Fall One-Day Conference featured keynote speaker, author Eva Marie Everson. I always look forward to these one-day conferences, and this one was no disappointment! Everson is a fiction and nonfiction published author...
Why I’ve been absent…
The end of September and beginning of October turn into an event marathon at my day job, as events coordinator for the OSU College of Pharmacy. That means nights worked, constant errands and little time outside of work to unwind. In effort to keep myself sane, I...
