What’s in a name?
*This post is part of Write 31 Days* I am really into names and their meanings. Like. Really. When I...er...we...named my our kids, we went Biblical for first names. Nice, solid, hard to make fun of names with meanings that settled well in our souls. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of pitfalls to be … Continue reading What’s in a name?

*This post is part of Write 31 Days challenge* My kids have their own ideas of what their characters should look like...and definitely what gifts they should get for the story. Here is my middle son's idea: He handed it to me and said, "Yes, I pretty much want to be a wizard." I can … Continue reading Their Own Ideas
Something I’m working on…
*This post is part of Write 31 Days challenge* Here is what may be a little snippet of Monday's chapter...as always with a working thought, I reserve the right to change it, rearrange it, or trash it!

"Was … Continue reading Writers have crazy search histories.
