Author Interview with Fiona Mcvie
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Fiona McVie. Please click the link.
So What You’re Exercising……Have You Written Anything?
A few months back I joined a gym. The signs were aligned. A Planet Fitness opened right around the corner from my house and my blood sugar landed me in the ER.
It was time to make a lifestyle change. I’ve been exercising faithfully ever since. (Lost a few pounds so far) I feel like I have accomplished a major goal. But have I written anything?
The answer is “Well, sort of”.
The reason: I don’t have time. How can I fit writing into an already full day? I get up an hour earlier and hit the gym. Between working full-time, being a wife and mother and trying to maintain a semi clean home, I’m exhausted. Before I know it, it’s time to go to bed to start the day all over again.
Every day I plan to get some writing done. Every day I fail.
Until time and an ass kicking from my editor made me get me life in order. I had to get a new plan.
Now I get the writing in throughout the day. An hour at lunch here. Waiting in the cell phone lot of the airport there. Riding out of town car shopping. An hour before bed.
There’re always pockets of time. I’m making progress. But I still feel like there isn’t enough time.
How do you find the time to write? Any suggestions for a stressed out writer?

World Sickle Cell Day 2019
Today is World Sickle Cell Day. This day was established to educate the public about sickle cell disease and preventative measures.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which red blood cells are not able to carry adequate oxygen throughout the body. The blood cells form into a rigid and sticky crescent moon shape – a sickle shape which makes it hard from them to travel through the blood vessels.
There is no definitive cure for this disease. While I don’t suffer from this, I know people that do. It was part of the inspiration for a character in my debut novel, Moment of Truth.
For more information about the disease, please visit this website: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sickle-cell-anemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20355876
