August is here and with it brings the last hurrahs of summer. I enjoyed our mountain summer since it lacked the thick humidity and scorching temps I’m familiar with near the central part of the state. I’m happy to report I stuck to my writing goals this summer! My best writing buddy, experienced in screenplays…

Adventures in Volunteering- Community Table
” Those who have changed the universe have never done it by changing officials, but always by inspiring the people.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte I learned of the Community Table from a fellow co-worker. They were my first choice in volunteer venues, but I learned they were on everyone else’s radar too. I made several attempts in January…
First Writer’s Conference
After two months of nervous excitement, the time came to break out of my literary and introvert comfort zone. I decided in January this would be the year I’d burst out of my comfortable yet isolating writing cocoon. I needed to meet other writers and artists who are called to the creative realm. Those…
A Question for Writers
I’m having a writer’s crisis of conscious…. How do you all divide your week between work, family, friends and writing? What does the graph look like when you break it down into percentages? As a wife with a full time job, the percentage I devote to writing each week varies but is…

Summer’s Swan Song
As summer comes to a close and my favorite season rounds the corner, I can’t help but feel excited to trade the hot days, for cool nights, lemonades for pumpkin spice lattes and bright green leaves for rusty harvest colored ones. I hope you all had fun filled summers, with brilliant memories made and maybe a chance…
Yesterday is a Closing Door
Shattered. Like you’ve never been before. The life you knew, in a thousand pieces on the floor. And words fall short in times like these, But this world drives you to your knees. You think you’re never gonna get back, To the you that you used to be. Tell your heart to beat again,…
Get Busy Living
Sorry to be distant Blogosphere, but I have been busy living. The summer is known for taking time to have fun with family and friends in the great outdoors and we have been taking advantage of that. From the breezy SC coast to the woodsy NC mountains, all the way to the high heat…
#writeoutside
Have any writers out there found some inspiration from getting outdoors? Now that I live in the mountains, I find there are many scenic places to stop and pull out a pencil and notebook ( as I always have one on hand). But sometimes, it’s just about carving out time to write and soak in…
