Three hours. I spent three hours writing 1066 words (but who's counting?) on Monday last week. After I quit for the day, I was so frustrated I went off my health plan and snacked on my emergency M&Ms. I'd barely gotten into my new story, and it already felt impossible…
It's time to set monthly goals again! I didn't plan on taking a summer blog break, but I'm glad I did. Both of my kids are seniors this year. One is a senior in high school and the other is a senior in college. I had my hands full getting…
For months I've wanted to do a monthly roundup of the new releases in contemporary Christian romance novels. Why is it so hard to find them all in one spot? I can’t guarantee I’ve included every release, but I’m doing my best! You’ll find the occasional indie release on here,…
It's funny how things sneak up on you. Like catching Gilmore Girls fever a few years ago before Netflix released Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Or panicking because you have Bath & Body Works coupons about to expire! (The horror!) My current obsessions are similar. I didn't see…
I didn't intend to end my summer blogging hiatus on 9/11, but I did. Sometimes it feels like forever ago, but my memories are still as fresh as if it happened last week. My heart is always heavy when I remember. But it's important to honor the victims, the heroes,…

April was a doozy! Wow, it was busy. And cold. And rainy. But who cares? Because May is here and I really hope it brings much warmer weather! I have a lot of goals this month. Do you have anything you'd like to finish before summer unofficially arrives? Let's get…
The fourth, and final (*sob*) Wyoming Cowboys book is hitting store shelves today! I love this book. Wade and Kit burrowed right into my heart. Their story touched me, and I hope it touches you, too. She’s pregnant on his doorstep… Saddle up for this Wyoming Cowboys novel When his childhood…
Spring is almost here! Northern Ohio is notoriously fickle with weather throughout April. We might have a sixty-degree day, or we might have snow. You never know! But the promise of warmer weather is here, and soon we'll see yellow daffodils, bright tulips, and flowers on the trees. I'm excited!…
This post was originally published on November 28, 2011 at https://jillkemerer.blogspot.com/. I recently read a novel but struggled to get into the story. Each time I put it down, I had no desire to pick it back up. Tempted to stop reading, I decided to forge ahead and figure out…
