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 →

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 →
This is the list of things I would like to do before the end of 2019. Some of these may seem easy, but have issues associated. Many involve a lot of moving parts, so that makes them challenging. Let's see how many I cross off. I will revisit as I get things done. Wench photo... Continue Reading →
So...I have spoken with my advisor at school and as soon as I get my personal statement to her I will be officially changed to a Creative Writing major. I am so relieved and excited to get started on the right path for me. I am also going to do NaNoWriMo this year. I have... Continue Reading →
Day 28: Post five things that make you laugh-out-loud. I feel like I should add a disclaimer that I am, in fact, a laugher. I laugh a lot, and at seemingly everything. So...almost anything can make me laugh out loud. My husband and I just crack each other up all the time. It is a... Continue Reading →
Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now. I am in the middle of a time of burgeoning creativity. I can feel ideas and thoughts bubbling up in me all the time, and it feels amazing. I love the times in my life when I feel ready at any minute to write... Continue Reading →
