Last night, in my attempt to tuck away more words for NaNoWriMo, I found myself struggling. I don’t know if it was the pressure to write, or the fact I’ve been preoccupied with other things lately (i.e. Craving Beauty Online Tour, having a baby next month, getting house ready for aforementioned baby, etc.) Whatever the...

The online book tour is coming up quick and I hope everyone participates! I will be offering up an Amazon gift... Continue Reading →
No one will hand you success on a silver platter, you have to work for it. Success doesn't spell happiness, you have to remember your joy. Joy comes to those who seek it, and sometimes can be found through the littlest things. No matter what your passion in life is, don't forget to enjoy life... Continue Reading →

"I had to go back to the start and find a new path...and let me tell you, every memory I have of what came next, with very few exceptions, is painful. It was nothing but struggle. It was Sisyphus pushing that damn rock up the hill, only to have it roll back down again. I... Continue Reading →
So I thought I'd share something about Vynasha and the recent writing process/progress. I've been working through revisions, as you all know, but have still felt something missing. My husband went out of town for a few days recently and I was kind of excited. I'd get the computer all to myself and envisioned blissful... Continue Reading →
