And a New Tag from Laurie Dennison…
Thanks, Laurie!! 1. What kind of music (if any) do you listen to while writing? I don’t usually listen to music as it distracts me and pretty soon, I’m singing and tapping along and there goes my focus for the day. Lol. 2. Do you rush right out to see the movies adapted from books…

My First Tag!!
1. If you could be any fictional baddie who would you be and why? My favorite baddie would be the Walking Dude but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be him. Lol. He’s too creepy. And from recent reads, I’d have to choose between zombies, ghosts, and zealous Mai hunters. Oh, maybe one of…

A Life-line
A Life-line Traci Kenworth Just when you think of packing things up, that everything is stacked against you, and you’ll never succeed in this pursuit of writing, something good happens.

Keep the Faith
Keeping the Faith Traci Kenworth Recently, I was reminded about the faith it takes to step out into the world and show ourselves for who we are. Where does it come from? What does it take to get us there? I believe that everyone of us possesses a God-given talent. Whether stacking cheerios in…

Don’t Give Up
Don’t Give Up Traci Kenworth Don’t give up, not even when pigs fly. This writing life we do takes guts, determination, and faith in yourself even when there is no hope in sight. It’s hard to hold on when the rejections keep coming in, the phone call doesn’t happen, your book doesn’t rest in…
