I’m looking through my OneDrive with a face of dread. Old documents litter it. I’m going to start out with the words every writer, including myself, need to hear. It’s okay. It’s alright that you accidentally abandoned that story because something so amazing popped into your head that you had...
Dr. J.’s Famous Last Words: I have a pleasure platform and I am going to use it. When the three of us get together, we come up with all kinds of ideas. Unfortunately, at this time, the only way we ‘get together’ is by video-chatting. Sometimes, scheduling is a bit...
Everyone always talks about their resolutions for the new year, but I just choose a new word. Something to remind me what I need to work on for the year regarding my writing. Last year, I chose two words. Proficient and Consistent. I think I did well with both thanks...

I almost started ranting about things that didn’t belong in this post, but I wrangled my inner demon (to release her another day) and got back on track! Well, it’s that time of year again, you know what I mean if you live in a place where the seasons change...

Today, let’s talk about social media and interacting with others. First off, pick your platform. If you love Facebook, then focus on that one. If you love Twitter, then make that your main squeeze. I tend to be a Twitter focus-type. While I do post to Facebook, it’s most often...

I read Four Simple Life Rules by Mary McCarthy over at SpliceToday.Com and the first thing I thought of was how I do things in my life. I do things that make me happy and if something doesn’t make me happy, I think about how to do it in a...
First things first Sometimes when I’m reading or listening to a book, the characters will piss me off. They will do something so obviously stupid, unable to stop themselves, like a freight train without brakes, barreling towards ruining their life or relationship or their cup of coffee. But then I...
I’m sure some of you will want to rant and rave at me. What I write here is my personal opinion. There is just some advice that I can’t fathom and refuse to follow. I’ll explain my reasons. Take a deep breath and relax. 1. You need to ignore everything...
