#SATurday: The Lesson of Macaroni and Cheese When I was little, my mother was making me Macaroni and Cheese – something I continue to love to this day – and I was horrified when she poured it down the sink right in front of me. Of course, that isn’t what she had actually done. In… Continue reading #SATurday: The Lesson of Macaroni and Cheese
One of my “Highs” as an Author
When I finished my last post, I received so many heartfelt comments, and I want to first thank those fellow writers and readers for their kindness and support when it comes to one another's difficulties being an artist.

Today I wanted to talk about something many artists--no matter what kind of art they practice--struggle with: lows. We have them sometimes as often as we have "highs."

On Friday night, I was driving home… Continue reading Writing Tips: Mother’s Day & Childhood Inspiration
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?

Author: Meet Jessica Shirvington
So one of my favorite pastimes is to meet fellow authors. There's nothing better than going to your local bookstore, grabbing a coffee and a novel, then shaking hands with the person behind the work. Well, readers, yesterday one of my best friends was able to meet Jessica Shirvington, author of Embrace. Since I was unable… Continue reading Author: Meet Jessica Shirvington
