Got my haircut this morning by @luminariessalonboutique, and so I’m out and about early to meet my mother for coffee. She says she misses me because I’ve been in Detroit at various library archives doing research for weeks; I will give her my day. I’m waiting for her while I write contemplate and read. Nina … Continue reading Just me and my day
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Today, if an agent were presented a query letter and the manuscript of Adam Bede, they would have rejected it over and over again and society would have lost a fabulous story. But I doubt that many people today would have the patience for this book. It took 100+ pages for me to get into … Continue reading Adam Bede by George Elliot

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss I set a backdrop of all my previous versions of my first novel, which I could not get published, so I went the kdp route (though I have been traditionally published since). I think I’ve edited it 100 times now (including formatting) and being my first book … Continue reading Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss
Enjoy these pictures of Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit! Part of Genesis is a lesson about diversity & inclusion. It is 50 chapters. I have 20 pages of notes on it, but I will try to explain what I got out of it to the best of my ability. I hope I can do … Continue reading Bible Talk: Brief intro to Genesis
