Lyric Fire: My Journey in the Key of C - Poem for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the following poem which I wrote specifically for the BlogNostics web event Pinktober, is dedicated to all who have been affected by breast cancer. The disease has not hit me close, but I do know others who have been touched and this is for them...

A New Direction For Lyric Fire - Also, Another Novel Update!
I know I'm a few weeks late, but Happy 2013! It's been a few months since my last post and I must say it was so weird to not be blogging! I had a lot going on work-wise and in my personal life so I had to put it on pause for a while. I am still busy and working my way through some things, ...
What a great story! I'm currently in revision mode after meeting with an interested lit agent last year. Reading things like this keeps me inspired! Congrats!
My Book Deal Moment by Claire McGowan
Not writing can take up an amazing amount of time. I spent years on it. During that time I did lots of things – worked and travelled and took all manner of evening courses, but nothing that would actually help me towards my lifelong dream of being a writer. I think I was afraid to really try. ...
Thanks so much Martha! I always appreciate your positive feedback and support. Many blessings to you too! :-)

Why Ride Roller Coasters When Writing Gives You The Same Thrills? - (Novel Update!)
Some people think writers are crazy. Well, some of us are. Honestly, to sit and stare at a computer screen or blank sheet of paper hoping for magic when most times all that drips from the pen is madness can make one just a wee bit unstable. Some of us walk around talking to ourselves and w...
Thanks Jessica! I will be updating the blog with info very soon!

Book Blocks or Prose Pauses? - My Path To Publication
The life of a writer can seem so glamorous. We wake up at the crack of whenever, drink unlimited amounts of tea or coffee and sit in front of our computers in our silk pajamas pouring our emotions, fantasies and notions onto the page while others are slaving away at REAL jobs. But in reality,...
Sweepy you are the best! Thanks so much. I see what you're doing with your book that you recently published and I'm very inspired. Keep up the good work as well!

Great post! I loved reading the different POV's from the other bloggers as well. Green is definitely the way to go and I will be voting my choice on Tues! Obama/Biden 2012-2016!
Vote on Tuesday. Your Life Depends on It.
Tuesday, November 6, ELECTION DAY, is the most important day of this year, and maybe of this century. That may sound extreme - until you consider the utter devastation Super Storm Sandy has caused in New Jersey, New York, and in many communities along America's East Coast, including in my own ...
Sulekha and Dawn, your comments bring me to tears. I really appreciate your kind words. Not getting something you feel you're ready for can take a lot out of you, but I'm never giving up. Having friends like you make it easier to continue on. Thank you so much!

Hey Lisa! Thanks so much! I found a great designer through one of my blog connections. I'm hoping to find out soon whether I will be self-publishing or being published traditionally. Stay tuned! :-)
Meet Chyna Rose - Interview w/My Novel's Lead Character & a Sneak Peek at a Possible Book Cover!
A lot has been going on in this writer's world so I haven't been blogging as much and I miss it immensely! I am under the gun on some personal projects and efforts, but I had to drop in today to let you all know I am indeed alive and kicking! MORE NOVEL UPDATES!: My novel has taken yet a differe...
LOL! Hey Sweepy! Lucky you! Actually hairy legs can be a symbol for unpierced ears, life before makeup, eyebrow arching and all of those things we graduate to doing to when we become women. Those things accentuate our beauty, but we were still beautiful without them and men remember us in our innocent stage quite fondly mostly. Thanks for stopping by! :-)

This is so true Dawn: " We tread a colorful path, each of us." Sometimes when we have advanced in life we forget about the goodness of our innocence, but it was then that we learned to dream. We should never forget the times before we arched our eyebrows or shaved our legs! :-)
