There And Back Again: A Meeting With The Past
He showed up. I must admit, I was surprised. These situations could be a bit off-putting. I know it was difficult for me to believe when it happened so many years ago. He took a seat at a vacant table just as I received the coffee from the young barista. I studied him for a few minutes before […]
NaNoWriMo: I Just Can’t Quit You
In 2012, I wrote about failing at NaNoWriMo and, at that time, I resigned myself to the fact that it cannot be done with my schedule. I also compared it to running a marathon without training, or running a 5K after an eight hour work day with two hours of commuting. If you don’t know what […]
Don’t Call It A Comeback…Yet!
Well, here we are again. The beginning of the closing of another year. A year older and hopefully a year wiser, right? I sure hope so.

Busy…busy…busy…
It’s been a crazy week. New job, new schedule, kids back in school, and little time to write. The weekend is now upon us and I’m making preparations for my next blog posting while waiting for the season premiere of Doctor Who tonight on BBC America. Seriously, why do we have to wait so long […]
