Sister Scribe

I hope all of you out there had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was great. I got to spend some time with my brother, who came down from New Jersey. He raved over dinner, and his actual comment was, “I haven’t had a meal this good in ten years!” He’s a bachelor, so you can understand where he’s coming from. We had ten people for dinner then played a musical game and watched Michael Jackson's 30th anniversary special (the one with Usher and N’Sync and Chris Tucker)...

This week I finished Chapter Two of Someday at Christmas, and I'm loving this story. Here's the meter as of yesterday:

I spent most of the day housesitting for my sister and working on a ...

Last night I spent some time working on Christmas shopping lists and plans for this coming weekend.  Hubby and I are usually standing in the dark on line somewhere on the morning after Thanksgiving, and we always come home with some great bargains.

There's nothing I love more than starting a new story. Some writers talk about how they hate facing the blank page, but meeting new characters, learning about their lives, dreams and goals is way more fun to me than typing The End.

Yesterday morning I uploaded the first chapter of Someday at Chri...

The National Weather Service is predicting an average of 3-5 inches of rain for the Atlanta area later today and tomorrow thanks to Hurricane Ida down in the Gulf.

Needless to say, we have had enough excess water in the ATL, but the good thing about those dark, dreary days is they send me...

Since it was another perfect, sunny 70 degree day in Atlanta, I decided to find a new place to hang out and read my research material for Someday at Christmas.

Thanks to a very nice man at the Fayette County Recreation Department, I discovered a beautiful spot called Starr's Mill right on Highway 85. Here's where I spent a couple of hours today:

I have mentioned many times that I do my best work away from the house, and Atlanta Bread Company is one of my favorite places to write. They offer free WiFi (which I don't need for my Alphasmart), but it makes the store a hot spot for meetings and studying.

GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students, here is something to make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

After creating heaven and ...
