Weekend Wrap-up June 25: Marketing. Blah.
The task I enjoy the least (I actually don't enjoy it at all, to tell the truth), is marketing. Every time I post an ad for one of my books, either on my blog, newsletter, or social media, I feel like I'm annoying readers/subscribers/followers and I run the risk of losing them. Readers do subscribe … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up June 25: Marketing. Blah.
Weekend Wrap-up June 18
If you read yesterday's post, then you know I changed my novella ever so slightly: I added a short epilogue (taken from the original short story). I think you will agree it makes the novella a stand-alone book unless you want to read more adventures with the characters. Read the final two chapters here: Spoiler … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up June 18

Weekend Wrap-up June 4: Rain, Rain, Go Away
Well, at least the rain has stopped. Over the past few weeks, it seemed like the deluge would never stop. Highways were closed due to flooding, farmers fields are lakes, and it has been impossible to mow the grass or stain the deck (48 hours of no rain before and after? Ha!) Planting anything outside … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up June 4: Rain, Rain, Go Away
Weekend Wrap-up May 28: I got nothin’.
Sometimes I write something before I post the highlights of my blog. Some days it is harder than others to come up with entertaining, interesting, or informative content. When I can't do that, I ramble aimlessly, rant about something benign, or in a pinch, repost something that I found interesting. I'll repost this photo I … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up May 28: I got nothin’.
Weekend Wrap-up May 21: More crazy weather.
Last week I wrote about all the rain we have been having. Well, We still are getting rain, not as much, but enough that it's making for a slow water recession. Farmers are going to get a late start for sure. We have also been experiencing below average temperatures—by at least 10 degrees. That has … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up May 21: More crazy weather.
Weekend Wrap-up May 14: That’s some crazy weather.
Last summer, we had two months without rain. The winter was one of the coldest and snowiest. This spring? Snow, snow, snow, then, rain, rain, rain. And the wind? Crazy windy. If there is any evidence of climate change, I think this is it. What more can I say? Well, I did see a news … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up May 14: That’s some crazy weather.
Weekend Wrap-up May 7: Shoulda stayed in bed.
What to say on a Saturday Morning . . . Gas prices?Food prices?The War in Ukraine?Supreme court rulings?Climate changes?Covid (No it's not gone away yet)? "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Maybe I'll just have a cup of coffee before those prices go up. Wait. What? Sometime I just feel like doing this: Just wake me up when … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up May 7: Shoulda stayed in bed.
Weekend Wrap-up April 30: Final NaPoWrimo Poem
If I had set the goal to write 30 poems this month, I would have been disappointed. But, since I decided not to put that pressure on myself, I have come out of NaPoWriMo unscathed. The takeaway? Don't set goals and you'll never be disappointed. 😄 No, seriously, it was nice not to be regimented … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up April 30: Final NaPoWrimo Poem
