Well I see it is just over a year since I last wrote in this poor, neglected blog. I haven't been living in a vacuum, however. I've been moving forward with my study of herbalism and my little herbal products company, making lovely things and selling them at the local Farmer's...

I am thrilled that one of my short stories is going to be published in a print magazine! This is really pretty ironic. The story was one that I entered last summer in a contest, and it didn't place. I was pretty disappointed, because I thought it was the best thing I had yet...

I'm excited that one of my articles was a winner in Suite101's Earth Day "Writers Go Green" contest. The topic was "Toxic Chemicals Found in Cord Blood of Newborns." I wrote it because, although I knew that environmental toxins such as BPA are commonly found in the bodies of adults and...

I knew it had been a while since I came in here and updated this blog, but I didn't realize it had been THAT long! So, what do I have to show for all this time? I just published article number 21 on Suite 101 today. I am a bit behind my goal of 10 articles a month, but I may still...

I have been rather remiss in updating my website. The holidays followed fast on the heels of the NaNo marathon, and I feel like I was swept along on a tide of shopping, eating, drinking, and visiting with friends and family. Suddenly the tide receded, and left me washed up on the beach...

I am happy to say I've accomplished my NaNo goal: I arrived at the mind-boggling number of 50,060 words last night (technically, this morning, but if I haven't gone to bed yet, it still counts as Sunday no matter how late it is.)
That was quite an amazing experience, and I am very...

Week three of NaNo: I am getting very tired. I am at just over 37,000 words, well ahead of schedule. I am hoping to cross the 50,000 word finish line before Thanksgiving. Wow, what an adventure this has been! The story is coming out entirely different than what I...

I have survived the first week of NaNo, and I am even ahead of schedule in terms of word count. As of late last night, I had completed 17,041 words. This experience is amazing. I've never allowed myself to write without self-judgement or criticism before, simply letting the words...

I am so excited! My story "The Manifestation of Longing" got Editor's Pick in the Accentuate Writers Contest! It will appear in The Elements of Life anthology that will be coming out sometime next year.
More exciting writing news, my flash fiction piece, "The Hitchhiker"...
