It’s December and each Monday’s prompt will be a photo one. Here’s the first one. Imagine your character taking a walk along this path. Who do they meet or what do they see? Maybe they even make a life changing decision. Have fun and happy writing.

Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s December
NaNoWriMo is over for another year. How did you do? I’m happy to say at least I got my mystery started. Finishing it is on my to do list for next year. Yesterday my new planner arrived in the mail. It’s the first year I’ve bought one in what seems like forever. I chose one where…
NaNoWriMo-Days 28, 29 and 30
My apologies for not posting tips for the last couple of days but I got busy formatting books and trying to add more words to my NaNoWriMo story. It’s the final day of the challenge and while I haven’t finished the story, I have written 50,000 words plus this month which leads me into the…
NaNoWriMo-Days 26 and 27
It’s the last weekend of the challenge and then just three more days. The finish line’s insight and my tip for the day is the same advice I give to everyone whether you’re taking the challenge or just writing a novel. Don’t give up. Some days are hard but easy writing days where the words flow and…
NaNoWriMo-Days 23 and 24
Another busy day yesterday so I didn’t get time to post a tip. Today’s Thanksgiving in the US and that brings me to the tip of the day. It’s okay to take a day off from your writing schedule any day of the year, and yes, even during the challenge. Sometimes we authors did a break…
NaNoWriMo-Days 21 and 22
It’s almost the homestretch. My tip for the day is just silence the inner critic, don’t second guess yourself about whether the story is good or bad, just write, just get it written.
NaNoWriMo-Days 19 and 20
I got too busy with writing to post a tip yesterday but made a note to do it today. As well as writing my NaNoWriMo story, I’m working on two other stories which brings me to today’s tip. If you ever get stuck while you’re writing, one thing that’s always worked for me is switching…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-NaNoWriMo Day 18 and Snow
I know it has to happen each year, but after the warm spell I wasn’t ready for snow. Yes we had the first snow of the season today. It started out as rain then the winds picked up and then the white stuff began falling. Today is the 18th one of NaNoWriMo and my tip…
Monday Writing Prompts-Three Items
This week’s prompt is a visual one of sorts. The photo has three objects and you can choose to incorporate all three, two or even just one into your story. Have fun and happy writing.
NaNoWriMo-Day 13
Almost at the mid-way point and how are things going? My tip today is food centric. I’ve found that if I write while I’m hungry I’m not as productive. They say our brains need fuel like the rest of our bodies so maybe that’s got something to do with it. Even if you don’t…
