I think this is a great idea. I am excited to read all the wonderful stories sure to be posted. I hope you inspire some talented military spouses to start writing
Thanks! If nothing else, I am inspired to write short stories again, which is a nice break from slaving over a novel! 🙂
You’ve been busy visiting my blogs, and I thank you. I hope you did not find too many errors, my new editor friend. How long have you been editing? It sounds like you are busy. I look forward to getting better acquainted. 🙂
Thanks for the follow! I have an MFA in Writing and love to freelance write and edit! I have been active at it since 2011. If you do happen to find an error in my posts, well that is just poetic license 😉
I guess so. I was referring to my posts, though! I make plenty of them. According to one spammer, my site was rife with errors. 🙂 I’m pleased to get to know you. Did you read my interview with Debbie Simorte? I’m trying to interview authors, editors, photographers, general bloggers, anyone who has a connection to writing. If you are interested check out my post on interviews. 🙂
I will check it out 🙂

I’m jealous of the quote. I’m sure you’ve read some before you could have/should have written… but you didn’t. Lol.
It spoke to me as an Army wife! It is a great quote‼ (I know you like the exclamation! 😆)
Coffee always speaks to me. It beckons me in the morning and throughout the day.
Oh, I thought I had another quote on this page as well. It was there earlier. I may just put it back, hold on.
Its the “breathe me in I’m yours to keep.” But I’m sure you’re capable of such awesomeness. 😁
Well WP is being quirky, I had just inserted another quote pic after the copyright notice at the bottom. I actually really love the coffee GIF too, don’t get me wrong. ☕ (inhale, exhale) 🥳
Excellent! As always. You have a way with words!
You’ve mentioned that! 😆
Oh… sorry 😆
are you military or former military?
20 years army.
Active duty still? My husband was active duty 10 and now reserves for 15. He’s a Warrant Officer 255 Alpha. He’s about ready to get out now though, just had his second knee replacement. Fun times!
I called it quits.
I never left the ranks of NCO. Warrant Officer was too hooah for me.
20 years probably entertained you enough!
I wouldn’t call it entertaining lol!! A huge social experience being the governments robots .
Haha!
I’m not your conventional soldier or veteran. I seem negative. I’m just very constitutional lol.
Everyone has a right to their opinions. I respect yours! 💗
Thank you!
I have many friends with your opinions, actually! Chat more later!
I feel for him. I’m still hurting from pt tests and ruck marches.
Yeah, the boots are not great for the knees. Not a fun surgery!
Lowest bidder always wins…
Okay refresh the page and I now have my other quote picture (my photo) inserted again at the bottom. That was the quote I was thinking you saw. I took the pic in Missouri. Are you in Missouri? I may be thinking of someone else.
Its awesome! No ma’am I’m pretty way east of you.
If I could hear your accent I could probably guess. Record yourself reading a poem sometime and I will guess!
I’m very southern. 😝
