What a Lovely Day!

Getting closer to High Falls Gorge
It's so nice to have friends come in from out of town to visit so you can get to spend time together scaling one of the tallest peaks (that you can drive to, it is me after all) in NY state - Whiteface Mountain OR sitting here in silence (except when you can't spell the word OR!) doing our own things. So much has been done and so much time has flown by that it's sad to say that W is leaving Monday. And when we weren't up on the mountain we were watching and listening to the water flowing through High Falls Gorge.

I can't tell you how many times I said, "I could sit right here and finish my book. I could sit right there with my laptop and finish my book. Now if only I could make that happen, right?

Where do you go to find your inner muse? That thing that recharges you? Is it your favorite place to go?

We went thrift store hopping all the while hoping that the construction workers would not knock glass on our heads. I walked out of there $5 lighter with some vintage postcards and yet another wax warmer in its place, which reminds me, it's time to change my wax.

After that, we went to Eban's Hearth for a little lunch with my wonderful fiance (he did not pay me to type that, I swear!) and his mother. It's amazing how good well-cooked food tastes when you find it. And they have it in spades.

River off to the side of High Falls Gorge

Then yesterday we went to yet more Thrift Stores. I found some things that were so comfy! I'm loving life. Seems though that the stuff that I was getting rid of was about the same amount as the things that I was buying, so did I do myself any favors? Hmm, things to ponder. 

Do you like to thrift store shop? Or hell, even shop at all. Tell me about it.

Author Interview: Nicole Orr

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all. Today we are going to meet a lovely person in my life, Nicole Orr. This woman is not only a writer, but a force to be reckoned with. Let's jump on in and get to know her a little better. Hey Nicole, what do you write? A while back, I got my feet wet in the publishing world by having more than 18 nonfiction children’s books released through the Purple Toad Publishing House, but alas, the topics, length, pictures and deadlines were all chosen for me. I’ve been a writer for several online blogs too, including pop culture and travel blogs. My true passion, however, is fiction. One of my favorite quotes of all time is Victor Hugo’s, “A writer is a world trapped inside a person.” I’ve been writing stories since I was in my early teens, but it really took off when I discovered the worldwide writing event National Novel Writing Month where you write a 50,000 word novel in the 30 days of November. While I have participated in that 18 times, I ...

Introduction to Contemporary Romance

   Contemporary romance literature spans an expansive landscape. Within it are various subgenres of romance literature, but contemporary romance stands out as being vivid and life-affirming for readers today and an eclectic tapestry woven with current experiences, cultural shifts, and relatable narratives. Unlike historical or fantasy romances, which take readers back in time or provide magical realms, it captures contemporary society dynamics while discussing issues relevant to 21st-century audiences while exploring relationships complex enough to involve themes like self-discovery, personal growth, or love in an ever-evolving world. Contemporary romance stands apart from its counterparts because of its modern setting and emphasis on realism. Characters in contemporary romance depict vulnerabilities and strengths reflective of real-life experiences, often encountering dilemmas that mirror real-world scenarios ranging from career pressures and personal aspirations to bala...

Well, hell... I've been gone too long

  Well, hell... it's been so long since I wrote a blog I'm not sure where I would even start. How about I start with, "I'm sorry!" Writing has been the sole focus of my writing for quite a while and I get to where I say to myself, "Self, what's the point? It's not adding words to the book." And while writing, I fall down a rabbit hole and forget half of what I'm supposed to do. So, I've decided to structure my day a little differently.  Butt crack of dawn - start writing pen pal letters 11:00 am - eat lunch (I eat like a little kid! Right now mini corn dogs and Veggie Tots are my favorite.) and listen to an audio book. 12:00 pm - Get my crap in order and get ready to actually write instead of think about writing. Sometimes I'll start a writing sprint with my dear friends at the Thriving Authors Academy (waves furiously at everyone 👋) Most Wednesdays I will attend my Mastermind group with Author Ever After until 1:00 pm. 1:00 pm ...
