I used to dread Monday mornings and the commute to New York City. It wasn’t a bad commute and in all fairness, NJ Transit was pretty good. I had a seat like 99% of the time and would sit, sip my coffee, and write my romance novels until I got into the city. After that, I’d do the mile or so walk to my office and I looked forward to that for many years. It was always fun to see what was happening. How are Monday mornings for you? Do you commute? Are you still working at home?
Monday Morning. Dreams. Goals.
Monday morning. Goals. Dreams. Did your eyes roll or did your mind start thinking about what you wanted to do this week? I’d love to hear what plans you have. As for me, with the weather getting warmer I’ve started planting some things and prepping pots for later. I’ve got a few romance novels to write as well as a recipe book that I want to share with you since so many of you love my recipes and SOUTH BEACH LOVE is just packed with DELICIOUS food! Speaking of recipes, you can check out my Cook’s Treat section for all the recipes I’ve shared over the years.

#MondayMood – Feeling the Monday Blues
So many things to do, so little time. Our house sale is done and the move is almost completed. Now is the time to finish cleaning out things for our smaller space and to tackle new projects. For some reason all that has me feeling the Monday Blues, but I’m telling myself to stay positive. It’s a new Monday and that means a new week and new goals. Clean up more stuff. Get in more exercise. Last, but not least, work on a new writing project, a women’s fiction story, and finish up my next Intrigue book: Trapping A Terrorist which will be out in October 2021. Hope your Monday is off to a good start!

#MotivationMonday – So you want to be a writer? Do you know what to do when you get ‘The Call’?
Good morning! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I’ve heard from some people that with time on their hands, they’re finally doing something they never had time to do before: Write a book. But what do you do if the book is finished and you’re thinking about how to publish it? Whether you self-publish or follow a traditional route, it’s important to understand the publishing process and the legal terms you may encounter in a publishing contract. If you’d like more information, please join me in my workshop tonight on Contract Issues for Writers! You can register for the workshop at the International Women’s Writing Guild website at https://iwwg.wildapricot.org/SP20-full/.
#MotivationMonday – Hang in there!
I know it’s a tough time for lots of people thanks to the lockdown and the coronavirus. Some people may not have spent time with their moms. You may not be working. You may be stuck in your house or apartment. You may be gaining weight because you can’t go to the gym and you’re not eating the way you should. Especially since food can be a source of comfort at times. In the last month I’ve been struggling with losing weight, but I haven’t gained. That’s a plus even though I haven’t really budged the needle on the scale all that much. I’m trying to hang in there until things get back to normal or the “new normal.” I’m sending good thoughts your way to hang in there also. Things will change and they’ll change for the better! Hugs to you all!
