#ATOZChallenge @tkrimms This post is part of the Fiction Writers Blog Hop. If you’ve followed my blog at all, you know I have completed one round of P90X, three rounds of Bikini Body Mommy, and am now in a round of P90X3. In between those, I have done workouts with Gilad, Sharon Mann, Leslie Sansone, …
#ATOZChallenge @tkrimms Coming up with an X word presented a challenge for me. I’ll admit, I went to a Scrabble word finder for help! Xerox – let’s say I love making copies. I used to anyway. Now that computers are so prevalent, and apps like EverNote and Pinterest exist, there is much less of a …
#ATOZChallenge @tkrimms Happy Monday and Happy W! Today is a great day in the A to Z Challenge because it’s W IS FOR WRITING DAY! During this entire challenge, a letter has never come so easily to me. Of course W is for writing. What else would it be? There is so much to discuss …
#ATOZChallenge @tkrimms One of my favorite board games of all time is Scrabble. My mom and aunt used to play it when I was a kid, and eventually I started playing. Once I got a smartphone, I downloaded the Scrabble app. I refused to play Words with Friends. I mean, come on…. However, the Scrabble …

#ATOZChallenge @tkrimms About a month ago I blogged about book series I loved as a kid. Sweet Valley High (or SVH) was on that list. Whenever I went to the library, I headed straight for the spinning rack that had all the Sweet Valley High books. Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield were the coolest teens I …
#ATOZChallenge @tkrimms Spring has arrived. Well, today the high is 40 so maybe not so much, but, for the most part, it’s here. The thing I love about spring is the warmer air and being able to stuff away my winter jacket and exchange it for a lighter one. On Sunday, I sat outside with …
#ATOZChallenge @tkrimms The dreaded Q word ….. let’s all admit it, quitting is EASY. When the going gets tough, you just throw in the towel, right? WRONG!

#ATOZChallenge @tkrimms Everything in life is a puzzle. Many pieces put together make things whole. Writing is a puzzle. When I wrote my first book, the process was quite lengthy, and, at times, I felt like I was piecing things together. Let me explain. PIECES OF IT ALL began as a NaNoWriMo project. At that time, …
