Christmas for me is officially over. Anyone who has family far and wide knows what I mean. Christmas at home, visit dad, visit mom, visit grandma, etc. All the visits have been done and all the presents delivered. Now it’s time to get back to work. Not that I haven’t been working on my writing… Read More New Year
National Novel Writing Month ended last week. I did not quite make the goal I set for myself but I did accomplish much. Being a discovery writer had its advantages and disadvantages. For those who aren’t sure what I’m talking about, let me explain. A lot of writers use outlines, very detailed, they go through… Read More Discovery Writing
My usual Monday post is a day late. I had the day off from my 9-5 job and concentrated on my writing. Being Thanksgiving week, time for writing will be tight. I will be squeezing out every moment I can. I am happy to say I made good progress yesterday. I hit 40,000 words total… Read More Thankful Week
I finally decided to start a twitter account yesterday. I’m 46 years old and I’ve made my first tweet. I will admit I was apprehensive about doing this, even though there are so many articles for authors that will tell you how important it is. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks, ‘what… Read More I Tweet, Therefore I Am

Main characters are always running into obstacles, it’s what we do to them, but when that obstacle is a fear the we force our characters to grow. Keep in mind, this is first draft work.

I do not discount the program though and would encourage anyone with a… Read More NaNoWriMo
I don’t think anything is as exhilarating as knowing someone read AND enjoyed your book. The story you so lovingly dumped your heart and soul and time into, and someone liked it. Thank you for the kind and intelligent review.
I have been absent for some time now. I wish I could assure you that I have been writing in all that time but I cannot. The disadvantage to not being a writer for a living is the rest of my life must be the focus first. Both family and my 9-5 job have been… Read More Mini Comeback
I have mentioned before that if I am not posting in my blog, it is because I have been writing instead. When I am on a roll with a storyline I like to keep it going as much as possible. Well, here is the fruit of my labor. 20,000 words in 34 days. That’s an… Read More Break Time
