Writing

My Husband’s Name Is Kyle. & Happy 5th Blogiversary To The Screenwriter’s Wife!

Oh Valentine’s Day. It’s ironic that that’s the day when I began this blog. 5 years ago today. How things change. How we all grow. For better or worse. For BOTH better and worse. 

Many people start blogs. I’m not original in that. Some start blogs to make money. Some start blogs as a personal creative outlet. Some start blogs because they feel compelled to write and feel that they can’t help but do anything but. Read more…

So if you stumbled unto this post through either one of those and this is your first time here – […] Read more…

First Post.

My original grand idea was to to begin this first post formatted as an opening scene in a screenplay. The main character (myself) would be introduced to the audience as she was participating in some seemingly mundane, yet character telling, activity. The scene would slowly shift as the main character transitioned to somehow show that […] Read more…
