It’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means IWSG Day. November 3 question – What’s harder to do, coming up with your book title or writing the blurb? The blurb. Definitely. I love writing catchy titles and reading catchy titles. I’m a particular fan of cozy mystery titles, occasionally picking up books I […]
My IWSG post for October, because – yowza – it is October already, isn’t it? Thanks to this month’s awesome cohosts: Jemima Pett, J Lenni Dorner, Cathrina Constantine, Ronel Janse van Vuuren, and Mary Aalgaard! October 6 question – In your writing, where do you draw the line, with either topics or language? I tend to shy away from gratuitous […]
Optional, August 4 IWSG question – What is your favorite writing craft book? Think of a book that every time you read it you learn something or you are inspired to write or try the new technique. And why? True confession: I don’t read writing craft books more than once. There have only been a very […]
This month’s optional question: What would make you quit writing? I’m having an interesting time in life, one of those transition points. Summer is here. No more mask requirements where I live. Travel is cautiously allowed. I get to go see the people I want to see from time to time, in small doses. I’m […]
June 2 question – For how long do you shelve your first draft, before reading it and re-drafting? Is this dependent on your writing experience and the number of stories/books under your belt? Ugh, I am feeling called out by the June 2nd question. In April, I started working on a project I’ve been working […]
I prepare for my second Covid shot tomorrow. In two short weeks, freedom beckons. Here’s what I love about this country: the diversity of people and places, of languages and thought. For all our flaws, for all my flaws, I am blessed. I can make a mental travel list without worrying (too much) about gas […]
When I’m in a bit of a mood, and I kind of want to punch something but I know the only thing that will hurt is my fist, I turn to XKCD for consolation and laughs. Right now, I’m thinking about those “laugh so you don’t cry” moments and things we wish were true but […]
May 5 question – Has any of your readers ever responded to your writing in a way that you didn’t expect? If so, did it surprise you? It’s now May 5th which means Cinco De Mayo and IWSG Day at the same time! Yay. As someone who writes both fiction and non-fiction, including spiritual and […]
I love May for so many reasons. So many great things happen in May. Flowers. Growing things. Okay the bamboo has already started growing in my yard but there are so many good growing things. Also. Not just bamboo. This May, I’m going to miss A-Z Challenge so much but got so inspired that I’m […]
Another Sunday post borrowed shamelessly from XKCD. I think this one might actually be scientifically accurate due to being written by an actual scientist doing science stuff. It looks like the kind of thing that would happen in 2021.
