When is my book ready to submit?

Originally posted on editingandgeekery: When I talk to aspiring writers who have never published a novel, I often hear, “how do I know when my book is done?” The true answer is that to an extent, a book is never “done.” Sometimes I look at a published book and think, “we should have done this…

Creative and Bizarre Punishment

My 10-year old stayed home from school yesterday. His asthma was acting up and I didn’t feel 100% confident that he wouldn’t have a severe asthma attack at school. By the end of the day, I was seriously wishing I’d sent him to school. My patience was at an end. Late in the afternoon, I…

Thank you, Keurig!

I’m a huge believer in saying “thank you” when one is due. Today, I’m sending out a HUGE “thank you” to Keurig Support. They couldn’t help me fix my my K-Cup Brewer, but the company has gone above and beyond to provide assistance; and that’s something that’s sadly lacking in today’s market. Sunday night I…

A Rude Awakening

So “the girl” is home from college. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for! She’s been gone for nine long months and has barely visited except when the dorms kicked her out for an extended vacation like Christmas and Spring Break. Oh boy have I missed her! Ya know how sometimes absence makes the…

Revenge is Sweet!

I believe in Karma. I believe that when you do good deeds, they come back to you in the form of good deeds; and when you do bad deeds, it comes back to you in the form of bad deeds. Sometimes Karma takes her own sweet time in delivering on the goods, but other times…
