Running… Running… Run?

Running… Running… Run?

I’m going to be completely honest. We’re talking about confession time. I feel like I should say something like “Forgive me, Father, it’s been XX since I’ve ran.” (those two XX would represent three weeks… yes. It’s been that long). It’s sad really. Three weeks ago when I ran the pain in my calves/shins was so bad. With every stomp… Read More

The List

Today my little brother (or maybe I should say younger since it’s been a very long time since he’s been shorter then me) got on a plane headed for half a world away (and as we found out today a whole day ahead of us as well).

98 Cent Flip Flops

Want to read Project Grinch first? 

While I don’t have a lot to tell you about the storyline, the general idea is if the Grinch and Buddy the Elf were stuck on a roadtrip together at Christmas time (the Grinch is female in this story!) 

If you like YA fiction, rom-coms, and Christmas stories, you hopefully will enjoy Project Grinch.

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices.

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
