This morning, I sat staring at my computer looking for inspiration. I noticed a bookmark that I saved ages ago. I left it in the nav bar so I could go back and check it out later. Instead, I proceeded to forget about it. Until now. The book mark is to a plot generating website. […]
Questions About Writing
Posted on January 2, 2019 5 Comments
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Are your ready? Now there’s a question I always have to scratch my head over, and return that question with another. How exactly does one get ready? Do you make lists? Throw things away? Clean the house? Wash the roof? I just don’t get it. As a writer, I get some questions […]
What’s on Your Desk?
Posted on December 5, 2018 6 Comments
Every month I join with a group of writers to answer a question. These monthly writing questions are a fun way for me to let you into my writing life taking a look at the frustrations, successes, and, sometimes, the everyday. Today’s question from the Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG) is: What are five objects […]
Writing Through It

One of my favorite days of the year is October first. Not only is it my husband’s birthday, but it is the day I mark to bring the Halloween decorations up from the basement. Halloween is at the top of my list for fun holidays. I dress for the Trick-or-Treaters and we pipe spooky music […]
Traditional or Self Publishing?

It is already September and I haven’t written a post since early August. Last month was beyond busy so this blog was set aside, until now. It is time to turn over a new leaf and begin posting at least once per week. It is a simple goal and I am excited to get started […]

The first Wednesday of the month I normally dedicate to a post from #IWSG. This month the question posed is, “What pitfalls would you warn other writers to avoid on their publication journey?” I have not gone through publication so I am looking forward to learning from others. Click here to join the blog hop. Instead, […]
Writing Goals
Posted on July 3, 2018 5 Comments
Over the past few years I have read a lot about the importance of setting goals. Not just personal goals, but for writing as well. One challenge many writers face (including myself) is procrastination. Goal setting helps stave this off which allows us to postpone those things in life that can wait a few hours […]
Write Like a Photographer
Posted on June 26, 2018 Leave a Comment
I am a writer with a background in photography. In creating a photograph, I consider every corner of the frame, along with every item within that frame. I look to see if there are any annoying objects, or things that detract from my final product. Is there a tossed away cup in the background? If […]
Question of the Month – #IWSG
Posted on June 6, 2018 3 Comments
It is that time of month when I address a question from IWSG. June sixth’s question is: What’s harder for you to come up with, book titles or character names? I can easily say that character names are harder. Titles for my stories and books have come organically. As I write, something just triggers in my […]
