Welcome to another weekly blog challenge, hosted by Long and Short Reviews! This week's topic is: One skill I wish I had but don't. There has been only one particular skill I'd love to have--one that I'm in awe of in others. I'd love to be able draw and paint. Anyone who can capture and bring to life a vision on canvas is one I admire. Many have mentioned that if you can return to a particular painting and see something new each time, then the artist is exceptional. John Will

Happy first Wednesday of March, my friends! This week's topic is: Characters who remind me of myself and why. As a voracious reader, I've seen myself as the character in many stories. Yet the most important ones I can recall are a few within my books. I've woven a smidgen of my personality into these women. Is it planned? Nope. There are three that stand out immediately. The other character is not one of my own that I've written. And here they are... The heroine, Brigid O'Nei

Remember the song, "Memories" by Barbra Streisand? It's the first image and thought that popped into my mind when I read the topic for today: My favorite memory and why.

In my humble opinion, exercise is a vital ingredient to keep the muse and writer healthy. This week's topic: Types of exercise I enjoy. Did you hear my shout of joy over this topic?

For this week's challenge, I didn't have to think twice. The topic: My celebrity crushes. Now I'm not going to tell you how many I had as a teenager, since the list from a shy, curly-haired teen would be massive. Seriously! I worshiped these crushes in silent adoration. However, as an adult, there are only two. And in no particular order. Errol Flynn. Need I say anything more? Well I could go on and on. Let me profess that this bad boy actor made my knees weak whenever he ent

If you've read my Winter Newsletter, I stated, "A new year of possibilities beckons!" Yep! This has become my word for 2020, and I'm eager to try something new.
