Yay… i just finished writing a whole 462 words. Albeit, these are new words to a totally new and different story. Same universe but different characters. In the story so far, I have about 4000 words. I think this story’s … Continue reading

If Andrew Were Real…
Interesting. I’ve been working on trying to get back to my writing. And I still have no story planned for my character Andrew, but he’d fit perfectly into this statistics of this year’s class of new priests. http://www.catholicclergy.net/articles/typical-new-priest/

Found what <a href=”http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/corpus-christi#obs”>I was looking for</a> regarding my writing post of last night. And it’s perfect for my story. I love it when things work out like that.
He Won’t Shut Up
Andrew is talking away like a little kid. So, I have an idea for a couple of scenes to write. One that I’ve mentioned in Isabel’s story, but I thought I could write it in Andrew’s story. But it will … Continue reading

Isabel’s Catholicism
Just some thoughts that came to me in the shower. Yep, I often find myself inspired in the shower. Or lying in bed either after waking up or before falling asleep at night. Some of this will reflect my own … Continue reading
Another Post…

Characters! The Bane of My Existence.
Ok, not really. I’m revising my novel. I’ve decided that I’m breaking it into two stories, at least for the time being. I’m trying to tighten up the first half and then the second half, I’ll work on and think … Continue reading

Fiction or Real Life?
And man… I guess stereotypes exist for a reason. I’ve been kind of following a scandal in Florida about the young, handsome priest who was seen on a beach in the arms of a woman. Apparently he’s been thinking of … Continue reading

After much fun and witty discussion and banter back and forth with an online friend and I‘ve decided that Andrew, my priest character, will have good taste in TV after all. I think he’s going to be an avid Dr. … Continue reading

Had a weird dream last night. It involved my characters and so that’s the reason I’m posting it here. I’ll analyze it later. I had another weird dream. As I was telling Connie a while ago, I think maybe I … Continue reading
