Hi, I'm Betsy and this is my life.
I successfully completed everything on my October To Do List. It was a wonderful month and I am going into November with new goals and expectations. I decided to do NaNoWriMo but I am doing it differently this year by commiting to a poem a day for the month of November rather than a word... Continue Reading →
I am currently trying to decide if I even want to try NANOWRIMO this year, or if I should give this year a pass since I have so much going on. I started a new job on Monday, so I am going to be working on learning my new function and getting it down. I... Continue Reading →
The Evening of Writing Uncontrolably was this past Saturday at the Wagnalls Memorial Library in Lithopolis, Ohio. My little sister, Traci, came along to write with me, and we were joined by my friends Jill, Angie and Melissa. Traci and I got there and settled in a nice little nook in the fiction section between... Continue Reading →
This was another work heavy week for school, and I had to write quite a bit for various prompts, which means I wrote almost not at all for NaNoWriMo. This weekend is the Evening of Writing Uncontrollably at the Wagnalls Memorial Library in Lithopolis, Ohio. I am super excited about it and hope I can... Continue Reading →
Well...I have broken 10,000 words for NaNoWriMo and then I fell off from writing for a couple of days.

I have been encouraged by family, fellow writers and several text messages from my brother in law who is living vicariously through me. I have no idea if what I... Continue Reading →
Can you believe it is November already? I can't. And it being November that means that on top of the writing I will be doing for school I am also attempting NaNoWriMo for the first time. I met my word goal for day 1, and it will be interesting to see how I am able... Continue Reading →
I am working on getting myself geared up for NaNoWriMo and starting classes in my new major next week, so I have been looking on Pinterest for inspiration from other writers to get me geared up and ready to go. I have already read through the syllabi for my classes and feel like I picked... Continue Reading →
Recently, I was attending a party at my brother and sister-in-law's house, when a friend of theirs whom I have met a couple of times but never really spoken to asked me what I do. I told him that I am currently working at a bank, and that I am about to finish my degree... Continue Reading →
