Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
Carrie Butler is celebrating her blogiversary! She’s hosting a blogfest called How I Found the Write Path. See who is participating, and sign up yourself. The Prompt: Please write a letter/note to yourself when you first started writing toward publication. Since I often talk to myself (in third person even), this was easy. Below is…
I’ve been holding onto this one for a while. I know many of you will like it. It was an opportune shot on a stormy afternoon at a church just up the block from me. I’d taken it around the same time as the wet chain featured photo. It has a drama filter applied, and…
Melissa Maygrove amazes me. She’s a terrific writer, well-prepared, and so much better at this whole networking business than me. In fact, I owe her a huge debt, because I wouldn’t be where I am now without her. I have the honor and privilege to have her guest posting on my blog today. And without…
The Rogue King by Aldrea Alien is the first in its series. What I love best about Aldrea’s writing is the visceral emotions she conjures with her words. Often while reading, I find a lump lodged in my throat because I feel for her characters. Life isn’t always pretty for them, but it’s their struggles…
Two years ago, I told my husband, “I want a tree in the back yard.” He quizzed me on what type, and I answered in a series of non-committal grunts. Yes, I know, extremely helpful. But he knows me pretty darn well (and one would hope, considering I married him). I came home to find…
Today is the first Wednesday of the month. That means, it’s time for Insecure Writer’s Support Group! You can find the sign up here. We owe Alex J Cavanaugh a huge thank you for thinking this blog hop up. My novel, Thanmir War, is epic fantasy. When I released it in December of last year,…

Today’s featured photo comes during a rainstorm. This one is still with my phone, with a drama filter added for good measure. I like the 3-D effect on the raindrops on this one. What do you think?
Whew! April is over, and I’ve compiled my list of take-aways from the A to Z challenge. April is a good month to take vacation from work Bloglovin’ is a wonderful tool to track blogs that interest me Call for criticism earlier to encourage constructive feedback Daily blog visiting is too stressful for me Exercise…
It’s late. I’ve redone it three times, and honestly, I’m still not satisfied. It could be funnier. I left some loose ends. I’m not sure I covered all my bases. It’s also about 300 words longer than the other segments. *sigh* But a challenge is a challenge. And Now, I present the conclusion to Murder…
