Novel Ideas in 30 Minutes or Less

April 27, 2022 by Mary Leave a Comment

Have you ever wanted to write a book? Maybe a 70,000 word novel or a best selling children’s book?  These have both been dreams of mine for longer than I remember and I’ve discovered the only thing stopping me is me.

Plot ideas for novels have never been a problem for me. There are a ton of them swimming around in my head and floating around in notebooks scattered through the house. With all of these novel ideas it seems like I should be cranking out the books.

It’s not that easy though. Sometimes the idea of writing a book is so daunting the overwhelm gets the best of me. You might have a similar story.

I wanted to address the overwhelm issue of writing, so I decided the best way is to break it up into something more palatable.

Halloween Candy Alternatives for Trick or Treaters

October 18, 2021 by Mary Leave a Comment

Where to get non-candy handouts

Oriental Trading has a fantastic selection of non-candy ideas for trick or treaters, and the way they list their items for sale makes it easy to see how much each piece costs individually. However, you will pay shipping with Oriental Trading. 

If you have Amazon Prime, there’s a wide selection that ships for free. If you’re looking to save money, I highly recommend comparison shopping to get the best deal.

You might also find some of these items at big box stores like Walmart or Target, discount stores like Dollar General, or party stores like Party City.
