2020 in the Rearview Mirror

On the last day of the year, let’s see 2020 in the rearview mirror. Five years ago, Marie Rebelle and Wicked Wednesday hosted my guest post, Tested. It marked the launch of my writing career. I had completed an erotic writing course with Rachel Kramer Bussel, who encouraged our class to hone our writing skills by writing erotic memes. I am good at following directions. After that guest blog, in January 2016, I created my website and began blogging my stories. I’m a creature of habit. Each year, I look back to assess and evaluate my progress, productivity, and lessons...

Revisiting My Inspirational Summer Vacation

Remember when you were a kid and during the first week back at school you told everyone what you did for summer vacation. That’s how I felt about returning home this summer, but I held onto it for a while, savoring all the goodness I received. For me, this summer’s trip was about location as writer inspiration. While I didn’t plan the trip, imagine my surprise when my partner laid out all the writer places I would experience. Now Fall has begun and since temperature wise it still feels like summer, I decided to revisit the inspirations of my vacation in the...

The Shortest of Fiction Stories In Twelve Words

There will be a break this week from the Hiking Story Series. I’m preparing for a vacation and well, you all know it’s hard to get every task completed. I’m headed to cooler weather to some locations where creative people worked and I’m looking forward to sitting in their places and brainstorming new writing ideas. An environment has an impact on me and I’m curious to see where this new energy takes me. Until then, I wanted to share a new project with you all. For the month of June, I began to participate in a new daily writing meme called...

Purchase Knob Hike

There are four of us. An accountant who lives with a thriller writer and a lawyer tied to me, the erotica writer. Sounds like an exciting crew, right? Writers connect, and we have. This season, we shared our new houses with each other. We joke that each couple has a beach house and a mountain house. This is my week to experience the creativity of the mountain house. All four of us love the outdoors. For our first official hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we climbed Purchase Knob. I’ll be writing a short story from this hike,...

Creativity Sat in the Middle of Hurricane Irma

For two years, much of my life has lived in U-Haul boxes. The month before last, I moved into my new house, and I began to unbox. When I evacuated for Matthew last year, I couldn’t see the things that were in all those boxes, plus I had no idea where anything was located. This time as Irma came raging through, my belongings had new places in my home. Many items were out of the boxes, but not all. I stood looking at my possessions attempting to decide what I would carry with me in my Prius. So, what did...
