On Remembering An Almost-Overdue Deadline For Work That Was My Idea, In The First Place – #poetry

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Kay Lorraine

Posted on April 1, 2018 by Kay Lorraine

I love when this happens. I woke up this morning with the solution to the sticky problem I’ve been having with a manuscript I’d all but given up on. I started a novel back in 2015. This was for NaNoWriMo … Continue reading →

Somehow, this book is different

Posted on January 17, 2018 by Kay Lorraine

To date, I’ve written and published over 10 books. Poetry, fiction, non-fiction, essays, mythology… you get the idea. Actually, I’ve written more than I’ve published. Some were more important for me to write, than to put them out into the … Continue reading →

Of All the Nerve… writing about the “neuro” things we all experience, but few completely understand

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Kay Lorraine

And it’s nice to take a break and focus on something as straightforward and objective as making sure that all the 10.5pt Caslon540BT fonts got changed to 12pt Constantia.

All this drama

Posted on July 6, 2017 by Kay Lorraine
