Around Here Currently

Loving: a productive day. There’s just something about sitting down and getting stuff done! Reading: Oooh this could be a long list. The short of it? Angel Eyes by Shannon Dittemore and Sacred Influence by Gary Thomas Watching: not a whole lot because I’m working. I do have the BBC version of Persuasion playing in the background (at least 3… Read More

Movie Star Lashes

Movie Star Lashes

I now am rocking movie star lashes thanks to my wonderful friend, Adena (seriously she is wonderful. Apparently I have a million lashes and every last gets an extension — now that’s friendship!) The extensions will stay on until they fall off (which is a little while). If you are wanting something fun for this summer (and easy — this… 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

98 Cent Flip Flops

And then, on whim, while randomly at Wal-Mart I grabbed this pair. They were 98 cents, what could I lose. These have lasted me… Read More

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.

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

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.

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

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.
