Alcohol and Death: Something to think about

Alcohol and Death: Something to think about

By Katie McCabe on July 14, 2011

This is a picture of Samuel Hayes. He died last week, probably because he had too much to drink. He was sixteen-years-old, only a couple years older than me. I didn’t know Samuel. We don’t live in the same town, but his story hit me hard. He looks like a nice guy, and sixteen is too young to die.

And the Party’s Over

And the Party’s Over

By LK Gardner-Griffie on April 5, 2011

Awwww!!!! I was having so much fun celebrating Carol’s agent representation, I almost forgot the party had to come to an end. But someone let the air out of the balloons, so now it’s time to clean up the confetti. I love to throw it – the sparkly kind always – but hate to clean it up.

Blog Party Celebration

Blog Party Celebration

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 14, 2011

Being a writer can be a tough proposition, because along every step of the way you face rejection in multiple forms and most likely multiple times. So, most writers I know love any reason to celebrate, and I’m NO exception. So, because my friend fellow Bling-Babe, Carolina Valdez Miller announced her agent representation today with the fabulous Vickie Motter of Andrea Hurst and Associates Literary Management, join us for the rest of the month in the:Agent Celebration Mega Giveaway

Writing Challenges

Writing Challenges

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 8, 2011

Sometimes writing a particular story gives us challenges. What am I saying? In every story I’ve ever written, I’ve faced one challenge or another on the way to completion. This is a good thing. With each challenge, I learn something in getting over the hurdle.

Good Grief, Charlie  Brown

Good Grief, Charlie Brown

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 5, 2011

I just finished writing a rough (and I mean very rough) synopsis of No Boundaries and in the middle of it, I realized Good Grief!! I packed a lot of crap stuff in this book!!!

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 22, 2011

Today was errand day, as is my usual Saturday. But I added an additional stop to my normal Saturday running around; a beauty supply place.

And All Because of Toilet Paper

And All Because of Toilet Paper

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 14, 2011

I’ve been having a bit of an off week… you know the kind. Nothing really wrong, but not feeling quite 100%, the day job a little tough to take. Yet there were bright spots to the week, like getting a text message from my friends Drew and Branli about getting together for coffee as they passed by my workplace. So not all bad, not all good, just not feeling quite myself.

The Love Hate Relationship

The Love Hate Relationship

By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 2, 2010

I have a love / hate relationship with my editing software. I go through and do all of my edits, do a read through, and when I think things are in good shape, I bring out the evil editing software. I call it evil S.

Don’t Buy My Books

Don’t Buy My Books

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 10, 2010

This is how I felt when I heard this morning that Amazon.com had a book available for sale on Kindle that goes against the grain of moral and ethical decency.
