Ahhhh! Can this year just be over with already? So many bad things have happened to folks in 2020...and it's just the beginning of June. I don't want to rehash it all here.

How to Say I LOVE YOU to a Writer

Hiatus? Maybe

I made it! Three months in a row, I blogged every Friday. Now it's April, and we're in the midst of a pandemic. Inspiration is at an all-time low. I'm struggling just to write tweets, never mind Facebook posts and blog posts or words on my novel/s. It's a tough time. Stay in, take care,… Continue reading Hiatus? Maybe

Business Cards and Boggle

I have new business cards--YAY! They had my phone number on them, so I whited that out, just for online safety reasons. What do you think? I'm writing this on 3/20/20, and I am bored out of my skull. Here's some Boggle games, if you're bored, too:     Keep calm and read on, Beth

Preparedness for the Coronavirus

So. I wrote a post two weeks ago, before things escalated to where they are today. I gave the usual advice (don't panic, stop spreading misinformation, no hoarding, wash your hands, etc.) and it still stands. But we all know it, and while it bears repeating, I wanted to say something more. You don't have… Continue reading Preparedness for the Coronavirus
