Hottest book dedication I’ve ever read:

To the one you think of when I tell you to think of her

Hearing Red by Nicole Maser

When I hit a creative block, I walk to Publix and listen to their store music. Their playlist is a complete bop for this Gen Xer.

Anyone else catch themselves singing along in the grocery store?

When imposter syndrome rears up, I remember a passage from Maggie Smith’s Dear Writer book.

She asks us to remember our favorite music and movies, the books we couldn’t put down, the art we had to purchase.

Anybody else watch JAWS last night? 50 years! Still my favorite. What a great storyline.

I bought the poster below in college and still have it!

I have several Substacks.

On one, I discuss being a perimenopausal woman in midlife and all the drama that comes with that related to health, career, and purpose.

I’m thankful for all the readers going on this serial fiction journey with me!

Ya’ll, I was today years old when I learned what a trope map was. This land of fiction writing is a foreign country, with its own language, customs, and apparently, maps.

And sometimes what some women really want is an emotionally intelligent heroine with girl-next-door charm, wit, and skillful hands. Just sayin’.

Why am I starting a serial fiction project?

My background is corporate HR training. I was laid off in late 2023 and decided I never want to deal with corporate BS again. Tapping into some old passions (e.g. writing) is an important part of me figuring out this next chapter.

Do you miss when tv shows aired once a week and you had to wait until the next episode to find out how that cliffhanger resolved? That hunger followed by the quench of delayed gratification.

You can get that again. Serial fiction.
Give it a try.

“When you read something I wrote, as you are right now, we’re together. Even though we’re not sitting next to each other, we’re spending this time, this very moment, together.”

Atmosphere: Holy smokes, what a rocket ride (pun intended).

The Space Shuttle + 1980s + romance

I’m not an emotional reader, but this book had me in tears at the end.

But don’t read it before bed.

if you have read it, what did you think?!
