Idea commitment
A few days ago I posted on Facebook that I have a book idea knocking around in my head, trying to get out. It’s been knocking for a while and I’ve not been ready to commit the time and energy it would require to create it. Every excuse is a good one…but not really valid!… Continue reading Idea commitment

Decided-NOT Cut
With input from my most treasured critique-er (my fabulous daughter Deb!), I have finally decided how to crop my White Hot Sun. Yes, the decision has been made, but the actual cut has yet to be made.

New Tricks
Prioritizing is going to be my next big mission. There are so many things I want to do and I have spent so many years trying to cram everything in to my summer time off that I’m not sure yet how to pace myself. There is time now to do things in a good sequence… Continue reading New Tricks

Fun With Sarah Ann Smith
Went to the NQA show in Columbus, OH, where I took a class from Sarah Ann Smith, the author of Threadwork Unraveled. We have e-corresponded for quite a while, ever since I asked for advice when I was thinking of writing my book. She was so encouraging that I went ahead and now we are… Continue reading Fun With Sarah Ann Smith
