I was shopping for a leather messenger bag today. As I was perusing a variety of online sites, it struck me anew how sexist and outdated shopping categories are. There have been several articles in the last several years about toys and gender. Why label G.I. Joes as “boy” toys and Barbies as “girl” toys. … More Why Genderize Bags?
It’s November 30 and we have crossed the official NaNoWriMo 2023 finish line! Huzzah! 30 days of writing. And I am a winner! (And yes, I bought the tee because I earned it!) Nearly 77,000 words in 30 days. I have a complete manuscript (albeit a rough draft that still needs work) that right now … More Crossing the Finish Line: NaNoWriMo Day 30
Can you believe there are only 2 days left in November? It seems just yesterday I started this crazy writing journey. Now here we are, almost at the finish line.

21 days in and I’m still writing! Is anyone else amazed how fast this month, or rather this year has flown by?

For the next 9 days, I’m still laser focused on NaNoWriMo … More Still Writing: Mini NaNoWriMo Update

Then this week, my word counts dropped off a bit. I also posted that I had a few more scenes … More NaNoWriMo Update No. 3
We’re 2 weeks into NaNoWriMo! I just unlocked the “14” badge for updating my word could 14 days in a row. (See my daily word counts here.) Tomorrow marks the NaNo half-way point. Huzzah! As I mentioned in my Winner post, although I already hit 50,000 words, my story isn’t quite finished. I still need … More NaNoWriMo Update: Two Weeks Down!
I’m officially a winner of NaNoWriMo 2023! That’s right. I hit 50,000 words around 11:00 pm this evening. I had intended to take the day off and give myself a creative break. I spent most of the day rereading some of my favorite romance books. Mostly for inspiration. Some because I wanted to remember how … More I’m a Winner!
