About This Author

I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Poisoned Purple Pen

She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be

TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

<---I am blown away by this

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Our country and our world are in deep trouble. Rant all you need to it helps keep us sane.

I am feeling for you and your husband and his family. What a marvelous rant. I know you are fuming with anger and righteously you should, I think it's great you found words. Your heart in the matter should be heard here at WdC. It's not always about fairies and stuff and I sometimes wonder indeed what kind of writers we are if not talking and writing about stuff that matters. I blame myself as well. Thank you for this rant! And take a deep breath.

So sorry for your family's loss, T. I've been through that sadness with the loss of a couple expected grandchildren. It's a terrible loss.

Q. You know why DJT will never have a heart attack no matter how many burgers he eats?

A. He has no heart.

I'm at risk for covid so I try to be careful but I live in a building with shared facilities and I have no control over what other people do. I feel trapped. So yeah, I'm not happy.

I don't think DJT is totally to blame. His lack of leadership is obvious and painful, but the American public, the covid-deniers (and anti-vaxxers), the 'Muh Freedom' crowd and anti-anything-everything crowd has put everyone (including themselves) at great risk.

Postpone a dinner by a week? This shit can linger for months! So... either just say no or be prepared for more illness. And yes, I hate to agree with you about your dearly loved husband but give him a kick from me.

How about a First Day of Spring or Easter Dinner? Covid might be calming down by then.

I don't even want to get started on Trump. I'll just say you and I are on the same wave length!

2020 has been a challenging year, for sure. Off the top of my head, I know 12 people who have died. Two of covid, three of cancer, one heart attack, and the others are unknown and I hate to ask. The woman who died yesterday, died of covid. She was so scared when she found out she'd gotten it (three weeks ago.) A few days before that, my mail lady died of cancer. She couldn't've known long before that that she'd had it because a few months ago, she was her usual chatty, happy self complaining about the mail system and looking forward to retiring. I've been so sad about these two ladies today. And also for the others who have passed this year, especially my aunt, who also had covid. I was so lucky to have mild symptoms when I had it.

Actually, I'd rather talk about our piece of shit president. Then I can take all my frustrations out on him.

So sorry you haven't been able to hang out with your mom. That's got to be tough, especially this time of year. One of these days, this virus will be behind us and life will be less stressful and we'll have a different president. Hang in there! You're in good company.

It's a Pisces Thing

Motivational Monday! Actor William H. Macy, born on this day in 1950, once said, "Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good." How are you using your powers for good?

Gotta love a fellow Pisces! Happy Birthday WHM.

Hmm, my powers. Do I have powers? Why does this feel like a trick question?

Here at WdC I'm currently teaching two classes at "House of Sensual Prose " by Purple Holiday Givings , and assisting a third. My auction is running for 4 more days "March Madness Auction ~ CLOSED" by Purple Holiday Givings , and it's going to help benefit my contests and activities, as well as "The Quills" by Lilli 🧿 ☕ , "The Weekly Quickie Contest" by Dawn Embers , and "Kit's Contest and Awards Group" by NaNoKit . I believe in helping where I can, and these three deserve some extra funds so they can keep awarding others.

I'm also hosting "Write from the Heart Poetry Contest" by Purple Holiday Givings and "Tales of Seduction ~ Oct. Round OPEN" by Purple Holiday Givings . Speaking of Write from the Heart. The contest has really taken off, and though I only dabble in poetry, I love reading it. I'm fascinated by others abilities to invoke so much feeling in a small amount of words. I think it's time I expanded the contest and added some guest judges. So if any of you awesome poets out there are interested in running a round, just let me know. It runs twice a month.

I also just signed up for "Secret Pal Initiation Room" by Kate - Writing & Reading which will be a fun activity for April. I did Secret Santa, and the only thing that sucked about that is that I was overseas and sending things from my phone or iPad. I didn't get to do all the cool colors and pretty little added emoticons that I wanted to do. So whoever I get for this activity, hopefully will bear with me going a little crazy.

I did get to bid on an auction package that allowed me to collect a merit badge for myself, and gift a merit badge to 11 others. I just like showing others my appreciation for all they do. I may not be very chatty with everyone, may just only say a few words, but I watch and pay attention. It's always a good feeling to do something nice for others, to help out where I can.

Oh, and I got to be a judge for The Quills. You know I thought it was going to be easy? Don't even ask me what I was thinking! I have my little WdC notebook filled with each category and remarks for each nominated item so I can keep them straight. Worst part was writing the words...loved it, fantastic. You'd think that wouldn't be that much of a problem, but it was. When you write that phrase more than 3 times in one category you are asking for trouble.

In my personal life I help out wherever I can. It may not be a lot, but all anyone really needs to do is ask for something and I'm there. That's just who I am. Being a Pisces and an Empath just makes it next to impossible for me to not jump in and help. I hate to see anyone struggling or upset. Even when I know I'm overextending myself, I can't seem to back away. I blame the Pisces in me. It's my catchall for when people ask me why I do things. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
