The 5 stages of grief when losing your keys

Keys

  Everyone has that moment. That moment when you’ve when you just left the car and are about to step into your house or dorm.  Or about to key into your office for another day full of uneventful work. You reach down your purse or pocket for your keys, and are dumbfounded when you grab a full load of nothing. Nada. You may be grabbing that old mint you left in there weeks ago, but no keys.…

Here is a piece I wrote on my new college-themed blog. Check it out!

Know what I like about Lost? The way the writers are able to make a storyline for each individual character while still adding to the overall plot. It's quite the skill that is needed to maintain an ensemble cast. While I managed to do it in the "Halls of Ivy" book, the sequel is proving to be more difficult now that the plot has become more complex. I have a general storyline to keep the mystery going, but it's getting the individual character stories that makes this tough. Stay tuned to hear more updates on Halls of Ivy: Pathfinder or check out Amazon to read the original Halls of Ivy. http://www.amazon.com/Halls-Ivy-Roland-Nu%C3%B1ez/dp/1466284439
