Friday Ramblings From An Author-Getting Ready for NaNoWriMo
Welcome to fall…or spring depending on where you live. Thank you to Beth and Vivi for this week’s great guest posts. Both of them have promised to guest blog again. My September class finished today and it’s time for some (as I call it), shameless promoting. Beginning on Monday, I’ll be teaching how to write…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Rain, Rain, and More Rain
Don’t get me wrong, I love rain. Nothing I love more then to read a great book, cup of tea by myside while I’m listening to the rain fall. However, this week, it’s been heavy rain every day and not the peaceful, gentle splatter type but monsoon style downpours. I won’t complain because my…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Full Workload Ahead
Today I sat down and put together my to-do list for the rest of September and October. I added lots of things and wonder how many I’ll achieve. Of course, there are the things that have to be done and then there are chores that can wait. One thing that is coming up is…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-What Day Is It?
A week that starts with a holiday always has me confused about what day it is. I’m convinced it’s Thursday but the date on my laptop tells me I’m wrong. Hopefully next week I’ll be less confused. Thank you to David and Heather, this week’s guest bloggers. I hope, like me, you enjoyed reading…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Three Day Weekend

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Other Creative Pursuits-Artey Crafety
Sometimes you have to take a break from writing. Sometimes I cook, other times, I garden or go for a hike. When I’m away from my writing, I long for something equally creative so a few years ago I got the idea to make upcycled jewelry. Not sure where the name came from but…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Planning the Planners
Can you believe that we’re half way through August? My mystery novel is slowly progressing. I’m still aiming for Dec 31st as the deadline for completion of the first draft. Anyone else working on a deadline? This week I recorded and uploaded another class to Skillshare, this one focuses on conflict and emotion. Here’s the…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Guest Bloggers, New Class Schedule
Hope everyone’s had a productive writing week. I have a few more hours to go before I call it a day. I have lots planned for next week including getting this month’s classes for Skillshare recorded and published. I’ll also be putting the new sign up list on the site for guest bloggers for fall. This…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost Done With Another New Project
Another week coming to an end and I’m almost done with a new project too. It’s a journal and planner I’ve been putting together for all writers but especially ones who are taking part in the NaNoWriMo challenge (or just want to write a novel in 30 days). It’s been in the works for sometime…
