I decided to be a little lyrical with this one. Sorry I’m posting it late, but with work, moving and a bout of poison ivy I’ve been going a little crazy lately.. Anyway, here’s my post. …… Writing is hard, I say in passing, as if talking about something not that important to me, really. […]
Here I am for my monthly post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where once a month, on the first Wednesday, we get together and share our angst about writing. It’s a chance to share grievances, and successes. This month, I’m in the middle of finally buying a house (closing date is July 17th but […]
This will be a quick note, to say that – yes, I made it through doing two crazy things this month: Yes, I actually went 10,000 words over my personal goal, finishing with 80,000+ words – and I’m still writing. Also, I mostly finished edits on Summer Fire. Okay, I fell pretty far behind on […]
This is my post for the Insecure Writers Support Group AND the A-Z Challenge. I’m lazy so I’m combining the two! A is for Author is my theme for today. According to the dictionary, an author is a writer – someone who has produced some manner of literary work. (Been there, done that.) In my […]
This is my latest post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, wherein on the first Wednesday of every month we post about writing. In this month’s post, I will 1) share some untruths about fiction writing and 2) attempt to be funny. Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time on plot, character, and world […]
I’m trying to think of interesting things to post about. It’s Lent here in my little Christian world which is a time for us Christians to think Christiany thoughts. As a somewhat marginal on-again, off-again Catholic I was somewhat thrown off my already shaky tread by being asked (by a completely reputable client I write […]
Survived another holiday season, writing when I could get a chance, and it occurred to me how much of writing means getting in touch with my own feelings and with people. So, here’s a few lessons I learned. 1. Honesty Works. In writing – as in relationships – it can be so tempting to beat […]
We survived another year – and another holiday season, almost (the tree is still up). I haven’t done New Year’s Resolutions in years, but this year I’ve decided to give it a shot. 1. Work on my fiction around 6 hours a day (5 days a week). I’ve been doing this spreadsheet to track my […]
All right, back to work, after a great – and needed day off. Before that, though,I just wanted to say how great it is to read from other writers, which is a great part of any day! I’ve had so much fun reading the Friday Fictioneer posts and am sorry no time to contribute this […]
I just got back from a somewhat whirlwind tour in Europe, which I desperately needed, and am trying to keep it all together. I have books to send out, reviews to ignore, and other important things I should definitely do but sort of forgot, like my IWSG post for this month! (Is it November already? […]
