Another week of a little of everything. The two January workshops finally began. Tomorrow I’m teaching my second webinar of the month. Besides teaching I’ve also been taking my own writing classes.

Monday Writing Prompt-Alice
It’s hard to believe but 2015 sees the 150th anniversary of Alice In Wonderland. For this writing prompt your character is inquisitive just like Alice. Maybe they won’t have such grand of adventure as she did but what gets their interest and what are the consequences? Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s Cold
It’s really, really, really cold where I’m at. And yes, I know a writer shouldn’t rely on so many adverbs. However, unless you’ve experienced temperatures with a minus in front of them it’s almost impossible to tell you how cold it actually is. Bad news about the weather but the good news is being inside’s…
Monday Writing Prompt-Back To The Future
The calendar flipped to 2015 last week so there were a bunch of articles posted online about the movie Back to the Future II. For this writing prompt your character leaps 15 years ahead to 2030. It could be a planned leap or maybe they wake up to find themselves in the future. What’s going…

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Seems like it was over before it begun and now the countdown to the New Year begins. I’ve been trying to take some time off, watching shows on Netflix and holiday movies but I must confess I’m one of those writers who doesn’t feel right if go a day…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Six Days left Till Christmas
I’ve been saying that the whole year’s flown by but for some reason December’s gone by without me even noticing. At this time of year, and with nothing I can do outside, I spend time going through my old files and piles of notebooks. I’ve always kept a file of old clippings from newspapers and…
Monday Writing Prompts-Lines
We’ve all waited in line for something. This time of the year the wait time seems to get longer. The character of your story is in line but grows inpatient and decides to head off to some other part of the building or store. What do they stumble upon? Have fun and happy writing.
