Lately, I've been in need of some guidance. Lucky for me, I have a mentor...for a little while. She's really nice and helpful, and has given me some solid advice and direction. One of the things I'm struggling with--that I haven't brought up with her yet--is the balance between work and the rest of life.… Continue reading Work Boundaries

Today I have author Kathleen Sawisky on the blog. She's got a book out--huzzah!--called Between Fire and Pines, which is available from Amazon and Chapters Bookstore. Read on! Beth: Welcome to the blog, Kathleen! Tell us about your book. Kathleen: Oh boy, this is exciting! I’ve never been interviewed before. (Don’t swear, Kathleen. Be cool, be… Continue reading Author Interview: Kathleen Sawisky

Hey there, guys. Today I have news--NO! Not THAT kind of news (and by "THAT" kind of news, I mean publishing news...don't have it.) I have news about what's going on behind the curtain. For a while, I've been tinkering--hehe--around with the idea of a pen name. A nom de plume. An alter-ego. Clark Kent… Continue reading What’s in a Name?

In case you missed it, I went on a mini Twitter-rant the other day. It was nothing big. Nothing extreme. Just a rant about a TV show that I've been trying to watch. Read on, remembering to start at the bottom and work your way to the top:   This was actually a just-for-fun rant.… Continue reading Ranty McRantPants

So, okay, I haz plans! Every night at 10:00 I sit down and write until I reach at least 500 words 🙂 I've done this two nights in a row, and am 1,100 words richer--huzzah! I'm trying not to care if the words aren't 100% awesome--and they never are, first draft--and it is working so… Continue reading Making Plans

I have quite a few books on my TBR (to be read) pile--over 200, oy. Right now I'm reading: The Infinite Sea Lois Lane: Double Down along with a few others, which I'm not reading as "actively." Those two books I mentioned above? Both YA. YA reader and proud, y'all! Maybe that's why I've been… Continue reading Am Reading

Since I have blogger's block--teehee--I'm going to post some short excerpts from three of my main works-in-progress. I hope you enjoy! Keep your pen on the page, Beth Excerpt 1 (The Goblets Immortal) -  “And yet here you are, in my parlor, no exits but the window and the door.” Tristram laughed. “Don’t think I… Continue reading Friday Snippets

So. I couldn't think of anything to blog about today, so I decided that I'm going to play favorites...meaning, I'm going to list my top three of everything. Well, some things. Here goes! TOP THREES NOVELS: 1 - The Hobbit, 2 - Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, 3 - Harry Potter and… Continue reading Playing Favorites

I'm going to make this week's post short and sweet (or, as a childhood friend would write: Short and sweat.) Writing has happened, folks. It took two days, but I wrote over 1,000 words. Very grateful for everyone's prayers and support. And God's. I really credit Him with helping me A LOT. I've also been… Continue reading Short and…Sweat?

There's something terrifying about starting a new blog post. I mean, half the time I don't know what I'm going to write about when I sit down. *GULP* And it's never more terrifying than when you're overcome with doubts in other areas. WRITER'S BLAH. So, what have I been doing about it? I've been feeding… Continue reading Hungry
