I'm usually the one asking the questions, so sitting on the interviewee side of the table? Yikes. Check out my chat with the wonderful Ortensia over at Truly Madly Ordinary.
Tables Turned: My Turn in the Interview Hot Seat
Creating on the Fly
(A version of this story first appeared on April 5, 2023 on The Heart of The Matter.) I would sit at the small desk, my back hunched over the best I could manage, and I would write out a sentence or two onto the page. I would stop, look at what I had written, and... Continue Reading →
Hump Day Happiness: A Few Things That Made Me Laugh
I get amused easily. Here are a few things that have amused me in recent weeks. Call it a Mid-Week Happy Hump Day Laugh! Some are quotes, some are memes, and some were meant to be serious words of wisdom that still ended up striking my funny bone. Whatever the case, I thought I would... Continue Reading →
Getting Your Mojo Back!
Some words have a certain stylish flair. They have pizzazz. You see them and the emotion and action jump off the screen or page.

Col. Mustard did it!
I stood up. I hammered my fist on the table like I was making my case. I was on the attack. I was every 60s and 70s lawyer and crime fighter that I had seen on my family's grainy TV set. I was Perry Mason, Jim Rockford, Quincy and many more all wrapped up into... Continue Reading →
The water runs dry
The ground is packed hard. It hasn't rained in months. Writers need ideas and inspirations to keep us going. My walking path in recent weeks has been dry. Oh, the ideas have come but they've been slow to generate. I'll get an idea, but the gap before the next one comes along will be long.... Continue Reading →
