Tips and Advice About Writing and Self-Publishing
Say hello to today’s guest blogger Judy Penz Sheluk who opens with a quote from one of my favorite mystery writers… I love that quote, not just because it means that even someone as prolific as Christie had the occasional struggle to get the words down, but because it absolutely sums up the life…
Continuing on with last week’s prompt, now it’s time to write from a new perspective. Last week your character was the person who picked up the hitchhiker, but this week they’re the one needing the ride. Where are they going? What’s their story? Who offers them a ride? Have fun and happy writing.

This week, your main character is the driver who picks up the hitchhiker. What makes your character stop and want to give this person a ride? What’s the…
Say hello to Kryssie Fortune, today’s guest blogger, who proves an added bonus to writing a book is researching it…yes, you never know what you’ll uncover… We all love a good meal, Britain’s Prince Regent – later George IV –more than most.
