As I closed my Wattpad.com account down today, I found myself struggling, knowing that I was letting go of a website I felt very connected with, along with all of the fellow writers and readers that I have learned so much from. (If you haven’t checked out Wattpad.com, click here to read my previous information… Continue reading Shannon Summary: Ask Me Anything
Hurricane Sandy
Because I have family in Pennsylvania (I was also born there) here's links on information over Hurricane Sandy, so you can track it like I am! I hope everyone is safe! Watch Live Coverage here.

Movie Mention: Insidious
Sorry for the lack of posts! I’ve been busy with school and Halloween. BUT—speaking of Halloween—I watched a scary movie recently that I think is a great Halloween flick: Insidious. After moving into a new house, a family starts having strange occurrences. Once one of the children falls into a coma, the family decides to move,… Continue reading Movie Mention: Insidious
Relax & Read: The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am
If you’re an avid reader, chances are you spend A LOT of your free time in bookstores (or on your Kindle, buying novels), and if you go to the bookstore A LOT, you probably have that one favorite section you always find yourself drawn to. New Authors is the first section I go to. Maybe… Continue reading Relax & Read: The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am
Music Muse: DeLord
After I posted my interview “How Do I Write?” I received a few emails regarding my answer about music. Some of you were surprised to find out I don’t write with a soundtrack (as many think of music while writing as the soundtrack during a movie), and others asked me what kind of music I… Continue reading Music Muse: DeLord
Movie Mention: Magic Mike
Okay. Okay. I know. This isn’t exactly my classiest post (or my longest), but I couldn’t help myself. I saw Magic Mike in theatres, and it’s the perfect Girls-Night-Out (Or Girls-Night-In with wine and chocolate) movie! Today Magic Mike was released on DVD, and of course it is an adult movie (Rated R), and it’s… Continue reading Movie Mention: Magic Mike
Website Wonders: PostSecret
Since you’re on the World Wide Web right now, I think it’s safe to assume that you spend some (if not A LOT) of your downtime on the internet. (I know I do.) I always like suggestions of great websites to visit, whether it’s socializing, reading, inspiration, or learning in general. Because it’s Sunday, I’d… Continue reading Website Wonders: PostSecret
Shannon Summary: How Do I Write?
Okay, so a week back, fellow blogger, WineCountryMom, suggested that I answer some questions about writing as she had done (which I thought was REALLY informing and interesting from one writer to another). So here’s my “How Do I Write?” interview: How long do you spend writing each day? How long I spend on writing… Continue reading Shannon Summary: How Do I Write?
Relax & Read: History of a Suicide: My Sister’s Unfinished Life
Yesterday, after posting on my website, I returned to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites where I was swarmed with this name: Amanda Todd. If you’ve been on the Internet recently, then you know exactly what I’m about to talk about. This 15-year-old Canadian, posted a video to YouTube about bullies, and—five weeks later—she… Continue reading Relax & Read: History of a Suicide: My Sister’s Unfinished Life
Movie Mention: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Well—I was FINALLY able to see this wonderful movie, even though I had to drive 40 minutes to find a theatre that was playing it here in Kansas. (I swear these things don’t normally happen in the Midwest—contrary to popular belief, we do have a lot to do for entertainment.) And for those of you… Continue reading Movie Mention: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
