I’m officially old
I haven’t got the AARP card application in the mail YET, but I got the second closest indicator of oldness- a Facebook invite to my 20 year high school reunion in October. Now I can do math (a fact that’s debatable if you’ve been to board game night with me and watched me struggle to …
A Smart Pen that outsmarts the User.
To be fair, I don’t know if I can honestly say I’ve been procrastinating with writing. I have been writing, just not every chance I get. Getting used to the nuances of the smart pen (and it getting used to my handwriting) hasn’t been bad. I will say it is a lot easier to carry …
If you give a mouse a cookie…
…it will want a glass of milk. If you give Joanna a project, she will find 300 other tasks to complete as well. This is the only possible explanation I can come up with for why I haven’t written a post or touched my novel since late September. I know that November is National Novel …
An Uphill Battle
As”Walk Season”* ends for me on Saturday, I find myself with something I haven’t experienced in a few months- free time! Despite the waiting list at my office, the planets must have aligned, because I actually have six hours without patients today. (Spring Break has a lot to do with this). I found myself itching …
Random ramblings, musings and maybe a coherent thought
I am aghast that I have been “absent” from social media for several weeks. As a self diagnosed “Facebook junkie” (I only chip with Twitter) for me NOT to be updating my blog, my author page, and other assorted accounts means there’s something big going on. Or that I’m sick. That was part of …

Even though “When you don’t know what you’re doing, ask the pros” is the title of this blog, it is really a summation of the process of writing this book. You’ve heard me say/read my statement that I don’t consider myself an author (slowly trying to change that thought) but I’ll explain how this book came …
As this chapter ends…
2015 has definitely been a wild ride. I started out the year telling everyone “but I’m not an author” and now I am trying to get used to the title of “published author”. Signings are being booked. Books are being signed. It still feels surreal. I just wanted to take this time, while a little …
Now what are you working on?
People have already started asking me this question. Maybe this is a normal question in the writing world. I know a few writers that have several projects going on at once, so maybe it’s not unheard of to already have a new project developing before your book is even published. With Finding Peace With PTSD …
Totally judging my book by its cover
Another step in this lengthy process of publishing a book is complete- I picked my book cover. I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but everyone- from a little kid to a marketing genius can tell you that first impressions are important. The cover is the first thing everyone will …
