Bags are packed. Banana bread made, (I like leaving surprises for my man.) Notepad and pens are in my purse plus money to buy signed books. So I’m ready to leave for our regional SCBWI spring conference! Full recap on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Hello and welcome! I’m a writer, runner, reader, runDisney addict, and SCBWI Blogger repped by Stimola Literary Studio. Here’s where I chat about writing, books, life, and my current Extreme Writing Career Makeover. To follow my running adventures, check out my Joyful Miles blog!

I heard this #morningmindset on the radio earlier and it hit hard. After accidentally deleting chapter one, I had thrown in the #NaNoWriMo towel, taking that mistake as a sign. Besides, it’s a busy month for me with my WineDineHalf trip, Thanksgiving, visiting my son at WVU, Christmas prep, websites to design, marathon training, and a ton of @joyful_miles work to get caught up with. But really … they’re just excuses. Fear, doubt, and procrastination are the real reasons. So screw it. I may not finish 50,000 words but that’s okay. Not letting fear win would be the real victory! #amwriting #writing #madeformore #last90days #writerunrejoice

Me after accidentally deleting the chapter I had written on the flight to #Disney for #nanowrimo 😫 Granted, it wasn’t a masterpiece but I’m nauseous!! 😭 #amwriting over #wanttocrynow (at Orlando International Airport (MCO))

If someone told me thirty years ago that at 49.5, I’d be running my 20th @runDisney weekend at #Disney with AMAZING, incredible friends whom I love and adore while wearing sparkly costumes and Minnie ears, I would not have believed them! I’m so incredibly grateful for the many blessings in my life and this weekend was surely one of them!! #rundisney #winedinehalf (at Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom)

Our #WineDine10k finish, day 1 of the #runDisney #WineDineHalf #TwoCourseChallenge! I never keep up with social media on trips… it’s hard when you’re having fun. But we had a GREAT race and I’m so happy with our costumes which ended up being Plan D. #thankGodforSparkleAthletic 😂💙 #teamsparkle #joyfulmiles
