Posted on March 25, 2021 by Silver James

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Relationships

Posted on March 18, 2021 by Silver James

My current manscript is giving me fits. Just when I thought the characters had started to cooperate, the plot took on a life of its own. I shouldn’t be surprised. And I shouldn’t be frustrated. Writing a book–especially a romance … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Swirls

Posted on March 10, 2021 by Silver James

The second Wednesday of March. How can that be? Daylight Savings Time hits this weekend. St. Patrick’s Day is a week from today. Spring is in the air but I’m seeing swirls of dead leaves rather than new buds. Anyway. … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Good Morning

Posted on February 25, 2021 by Silver James

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Angel Awareness

Posted on February 18, 2021 by Silver James

Today, I’m going to talk about something not so dear to my heart. While this is mostly aimed at writers, anyone can more than likely relate. Writers and folks in the arts and public eye are going to get bad … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Heart

Posted on February 17, 2021 by Silver James

It’s Wednesday. There’s still snow and cold and I’m really, REALLY glad I kept my heavy-duty hairdryer even after I cut my hair really short. Frozen toilet water line a couple of days running. At least all the other water … Continue reading →
