I accept the concept of a muse wholeheartedly. However old-fashioned it might be, it’s a theory I like. My muse, however, does not resemble a lovely Greek statue. My muse is more like a kaleidoscope of butterflies, constantly circling my head. Only these delicate beauties carry ten pound cannonballs, which they like to release on me at random times. Me: *trying to get to sleep* My muse: WHAM!! *drops cannonball* My muse: This would make a good story. Me *buries…

Not much of a long wordy post today, I’m too busy doing a happy Muppet flail!   I’m thrilled to announce that my first ever book, Big Mistake, is now available! You can find it here on eXtasy Book’s website. Look at that pretty, shiny new cover. That’s right, an official link to an official eBook that I officially wrote!

Switching from the free (.wordpress.com) website to a self-hosted (.com) site has a lot of support. For starters, there are plenty of how-to articles with step by step instructions. There are YouTube videos. The self-hosting service I chose (Site Ground) works with WordPress so that computer illiterate people, like me, only have to push a few buttons to make the transfer. Even with all of that, the whole thing took about six hours (I’m still not done tweaking the tiny…

For now, I’m going to assume that you’ve at least clicked around on some social media and have seen hashtags, even if you don’t use them yourself much. So; hashtags. They’re not just a fun Deadpool punchline (yes, I snort-laughed at that part of the movie) or a millennial…
