Yesterday afternoon while I was sitting at my desk writing and answering my little great niece's on-line, "Hi, Auntie," greeting my house began to roll. I immediately knew I was experiencing an earthquake though I didn't think I was in any immediate danger. Yet this one was different....

For someone who is so good with words (written), I can be downright dreadful with words (spoken).
This, I am learning, can be a common "writer thing." We're great manipulating language on paper, or computer screen. Give me something in print and I can do a speedy version of "Pimp My...

Below is one of my favorite inspirational poems.
Don't QuitAuthor unknown

My first degree is in English, heavily focused on creative writing. I blame that for why I agonize over every word I put on the page. Makes it hard to get into the zone when you analyze and re-analyze every word you put on the page. Apparently, I'm a glutton for punishment, though, because as I've...

Sitting here and thinking about my writing before I get all wrapped up in work. Last night was spent transferring my scenes from various sources into yWriter. I have used yWriter in the past and had dismissed it due to the fact that I might use 3 or 4 different computers in the course of my week...

Hello beautiful blog-o-verse. It has been a while since I have even looked at my own blog (http://cafeleone.net); let alone post anything. I blame it on the micro-blogging sites of Facebook and Twitter. These two venues have allowed for much greater “lifestreaming” as well as to reach a larger...
