IWSG: Happy May Day!

May 1st happens to be on a Wednesday this year, so that means it’s IWSG Day AND May Day at the same time. I’m a writer, so language fascinates me – and I get easily sidetracked by it. May Day is one of those funny language things where two words have so many different meanings […]

IWSG: If Wishes Came True

April 3 question: If you could use a wish to help you write just ONE scene/chapter of your book, which one would it be? It’s IWSG Day and that means time to share another milepost along the writing journey. What part of my book would I like to be able to write via magic wish? […]

Friday Fictioneers: Snow Globe Life

Snow Globe Life Looking out at you, I know you don’t see me, and that’s fine. My smile never ends, my feet forever frozen mid-twirl on the faux-ice in a make-believe rink. Long ago, months ago, you last shook my world, raining tiny grains of white. When you first got me, I was the shiny […]

Must-Haves

It’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means another IWSG Day! In the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, we get together (at least) once a month to exchange stories along the writing journey. This month’s optional question asks us what five things we have in our writing space. For me, there are just a […]

IWSG: September Is Here!

So it’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means IWSG Day and I completely forgot due to … I really don’t have a good excuse, except I’ve been busy. Writing-wise, I’ve been doing a lot of editing and backstory. Among other hopefully more productive things, I dug the first novel I ever wrote […]

IWSG: Stories Are Great!

Due to a family emergency, this past month has been kind of crazy. While we were out at lunch at a place I normally don’t go to, after leaving the hospital – again – me and my family member both got cute story cubes as part of our Kid’s Meals. Then, an adorable little girl […]
