IWSG: Writing Woes

Here is my September post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. In a bit of a slump at the moment but I know that will turn around in due time…. I’ve really been neglecting my blog lately due to getting really busy the past few months. My writing has suffered as a result. A lot […]

IWSG: Thomas Aquinas

Happy IWSG Day! And, thanks to this month’s co-hosts: Joylene Nowell Butler, Jacqui Murray, Sandra Cox, and Lee Lowery! February 2 question – Is there someone who supported or influenced you that perhaps isn’t around anymore? Anyone you miss?

IWSG: Controlled Chaos

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 […]

IWSG: Feeling Called Out

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?
