The Real Truth Seekers

I like “to go through the emotions” and not “the motions” because I believe we cleanse and purge ourselves when we are true to our feelings. We grow and learn when we seek the truth. When we hide and deceive ourselves, it doesn’t serve us right. We don’t learn. We stunt our spiritual growth—narrow-mindedness resides … Continue reading The Real Truth Seekers →

Loyalty, Honesty: Deceit & Betrayal In Fiction & Life (10 min. read)

I am paying more attention to deceit and betrayal as I write my story or short stories. I can’t "villainize" a bad person character because their motives are so much deeper. There’s always a back story. I mean, there are uncomplicated one-dimensional characters. But others are too complex.

I recently re-read one of my first blogs, and it needed serious editing. I'm sure most of my blogs do. But that's the part of … Continue reading Writing, My Ogre →

Writers, Finish it…

Taking a vacation from my demented self (sort of) as well as the minor chaos that surrounds us. Here's something for fun. Feel free to add a sentence or more if you'd like. Cheers! Once upon a time there was a woman sitting on her computer trying to write a new fiction story about a … Continue reading Writers, Finish it… →

Education & Feelings

I feel like writing. Anything. Everything—well, arguably everything. But I only have so many hands and one mind. So I have to write one thing at a time. Lately, I’ve been working on my research for my Literature Pedagogy summer course. I’ve been taking this amazing class which has opened a whole new world on … Continue reading Education & Feelings →
