When I signed a contract for my debut book, I didn’t realize how much interaction was required on Facebook and other avenues. I learned how social media plays such an essential role in marketing a new author. Affinity encouraged me to write a free short story – I wrote several. Two were immediately posted on… Read More I’m Such a Tease…But It’s An Addiction
This week I am going to poke fun at myself again, because it is one of my favorite pastimes. I am a fashion don’t in every way because clothes and staying in vogue is simply unimportant to me. When our organization began to look again at our dress code policy, I wanted less than nothing… Read More The 80’s Called They Want Their Suit Back…
As I was pondering what to talk about for this week’s blog, I put the question out to my Facebook friends who provided many wonderful ideas. After a bit of internal debate, I decided to take the Tofurky suggestion since we are so close to Thanksgiving. First, I want to provide complete transparency and say… Read More Tofurky Anyone?
Last night I posted my thoughts on Facebook’s version of a hello-the infamous Poke. In my normal way of looking at things I poked (pun intended) a little fun at this contemporary form of greeting. My intent was to let people know that I’m really not a b@#%& when I don’t poke back, but instead… Read More Crossing The Generations
Too much information – that is the topic this week. I suppose I’m at that stage in my life where I can get away with saying and doing most anything because I generally don’t care what people think. I can’t wait to join the red hat society. Let me qualify that by saying, I can… Read More TMI…
I joke around a lot, especially in that nerdy, socially awkward way that introverted writers tend to gravitate to – well maybe not all introverted writers…. In this respect I resemble the main character, Mabel in my new book, Out of This World. However, when I post that I was dancing or singing in my… Read More We Are Family…..
Normally I write more light hearted blogs that focus on poking fun at something or someone (typically me). I serve up a main entre’ of revelations about me or my family’s oddities with a side of tongue in cheek humor. On occasion people believe I’m being serious, but I rarely am. The only other blog… Read More Life’s Too Short
I suppose genetics plays a role in a number of things, particularly medical conditions, but I wonder does genetics play a role in character traits? My grandmother was the quintessential hoarder, but I give her a bit of grace because she did grow up in the depression. I am not sure what my father’s… Read More Is Hoarding Genetic?
Just the other day I was in a meeting with my Volunteer Director who was telling me about how the Executive Secretary for the clinic called her in a huff (my words not hers because the Volunteer Director is a very gracious woman). Apparently one of the volunteers sent a woman up to the third… Read More Becoming Naive Again
This past weekend we were supposed to go to the Oyster Festival in our state and camp with some friends who were also scheduled to play music for the festival. We offered to bring some food for the long weekend and because our lives are so busy right now, my wife decided it would… Read More A Mature Woman’s Romantic Picnic Lunch
