Mary Poppins: An Absolute Delight

January 13, 2019.Reading time 8 minutes.

This isn’t so much a movie review, though I will tell you I adored the new movie! Emily Blunt is AMAZING as Mary Poppins, I believed every second of it that she WAS indeed Mary Poppins. What I loved the most (SPOILERS!!!) is the part of the feature where Mary took the three Banks children […]

The Great, The Sexy, and the Downright Dreadful Not So Nice Guy by R.S. Grey – I was out of work for a few months this year and was looking for some quick reads. Nothing serious but something fun and enjoyable. This book is what I found. OH MY GOD did I love this book. […]

January 6, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

Hello My Lovlies, I know, first things first…. it has been WAY too long since I have posted on here. I am a bad naughty little blogger. I will admit that I have been spending an absorbent amount of time on my writing and on Instagram. Shameless I know 😉 After my recent decision to […]

I Don’t Want to Wait Anymore

August 23, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

Waiting to find an agent, waiting to find a publisher, waiting….waiting…waiting. I am so sick of waiting. Why am I a waiting? Because it’s the traditional way to accomplish my goals? Why am I putting my goals in someone else’s hands to deny? No, I don’t want to wait anymore. I want to move forward. […]

Open Your Own Door

August 1, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

There have been several times in my life where I have felt stuck. I was stuck in a crappy job with no upward trajectory. I was stuck in a horrible relationship with a man who treated me like I was a nuisance while he emotionally pushed me around like a rag doll. All of the […]

Blunt Talk: Late Night Pondering

March 22, 2018.Reading time less than 1 minute.

There is something very sexy and alluring about a smiling man wearing a suit in a black and white photo. Not a color photo, that’s just nice, maybe even a bit boring. Black and white, and suddenly you have a breath taking battle. Dramatic slices of light battling against the forever strong shadow. Perhaps it’s […]

Red Sparrow: An Upfront Book Review

March 21, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

I don’t often review or give my opinion on books that I am reading, or poems I find moving but I do feel that I read enough to start doing this for you…my lovely readers 🙂 Not so much to rant about my opinion, though I might if something really pinches a nerve in my […]

How the heck do I write a synopsis!?

March 16, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

Last night I spent pretty much….all night working on my synopsis. It was one of those nights where I knew I wouldn’t be able to get it perfect but I needed to get it done. This is a great exercise even if it doesn’t get me the agent. I started with a 1,300 word synopsis […]

A Positive Query AND Pie…how did I get so lucky!?

March 14, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

I’m going to start this post with a happy dance and a major high five. Peeps of the blogging world, I FINALLY HAD AN AGENT ASK TO READ MY MANUSCRIPT! None of that: thanks but no thanks. And not a single word of: I’m just not looking for your content at this time. I got […]

I Just Can’t Stop Adding To It!

March 11, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

I realize the saying “An artists work is never done, the project is only every abandoned,” because in truth I feel that my first manuscript isn’t completed. Not that it isn’t polished, and in my personal opinion, damn close to being done. It’s more that I keep thinking, “But I could add this, and it […]
