“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”—Albert Camus

(This quote hit me like a brick when I first read it!)

Have a great week and many invincible summers!

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
