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

Posted on October 3, 2018 8 Comments

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?

Posted on September 1, 2018 7 Comments

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 […]

Changes

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 […]

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 […]

What Season is More Productive?

Posted on May 2, 2018 3 Comments

I have never had this question posed to me. When do I write the most? I have never paid very much attention to my productivity in the past, but I can say that this year I have written more the first half of 2018 than any other time I can remember. The first burst came […]

Rain on Your Writing?

Posted on April 4, 2018 7 Comments

It wasn’t too long ago that my life made an unexpected left turn, the wrong way, down a one way street. It started a few years ago and, today, there are vestiges of life’s crap still creeping around in the background. I won’t go into the grim details here, but trust me when I say, […]

Let’s Celebrate!

Posted on March 7, 2018 2 Comments

This post has been inspired by March’s question of the month from Insecure Writer’s Support Group. The question: How do you celebrate when you achieve a writing goal/ finish a story? Writing can be a lonely business, and when there is a chance to celebrate – WE DO! If you are a writer it is important […]
