Babes & bookworms, dreamers & professors, wizards & creatives unite

Amy L Sauder

Readers are what make writers possible. We're all storybreathers, day in and day out. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of books, the power of words, but I moreso believe in the power of readers. As I work toward publishing "I Know You Like a Murder", I have so many ideas to share and ways… Continue reading Babes & bookworms, dreamers & professors, wizards & creatives unite

Sometimes you don’t need skill

Amy L Sauder

In your creative pursuits, strive for excellence of course. "Study to show yourself approved." Don't put out rubbish and expect people to pay for it because it's authentic and from the heart. Ech.

A quick & easy treat

Amy L Sauder

With the holidays around the corner, everyone could use a quick breakfast that isn't cereal. No worries, this is easy peasy and I have fallen in love with it. Crescent rolls. A dollop of jam in the triangle. Fold all 3 corners up and over the jam. Heat in oven per the instructions. Enjoy. Repeat.… Continue reading A quick & easy treat

Amy L Sauder

I don't need an Elf on a Shelf. My Christmas tree is my own gift guard, and she makes less of a mess. Meet Delilah. You can see her adventures (or misadventures) on my facebook and twitter under #DelilahTales.    Delilah's Christmas tree outfit didn't just happen. Last year I had a test case (that turned… Continue reading My Christmas tree guards the gifts

The Award for Saying “No”

Amy L Sauder

I recently attended an awards ceremony with some coworkers. As the host rattled off all the achievements of the award recipients - career, parenting, volunteering, church involvement, chair and member of various boards, alongside various other activities and accomplishments - wow! I realized: "I will NEVER receive an award like this." Maybe you think I'm… Continue reading The Award for Saying “No”
