You know I couldn’t not comment on #GameOfThrones now that it’s ended. And, no matter what I think of the ending itself, I have to say that the writing on this show has been phenomenal. Otherwise, people wouldn’t have tuned in in droves and obsessed over what they thought would happen. Most of that is due to the fantastic material George R. R.

So… I have to admit that my enjoyment (perhaps it could be termed an addiction) to writing contests started at a young age.

I would love to say that when I’m not writing I have a life. But that would be a lie. Sort of. I have my wonderful family, so frequently any time not spent on writing/books in some form or fashion is spent with them. My kids are at that stage where it’s constant activities, homework, and friends. Less “Mom Time” these days, because–let’s face … Read More When I’m Not Writing… #MFRWAuthor Blog Challenge
