I’m not sure where April went. At least it’s looking more like spring where I live and even daffodils have sprung forth this week. In May I’m teaching two workshops. The first starts on Thursday and is Are We There Yet? If you have a manuscript that you think’s ready to be sent to an…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Easter Treats
I’m not sure if it’s spring or winter. One day it’s sunny and warmer, next day colder and snowing yet again. One thing’s for sure I’ve been spending more time writing than I usually do this time of the year. On Wednesday I was so sick of snow and cold that I sat myself down…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Second Drafts
Finally some beautiful weather but I’ve still stayed inside writing. I finished the synopsis e-book and now it’s in the hands of my critique partner. Anyone got any questions about writing a synopsis for me? I’ve decided to include a question and answer section in the final chapter so I’m looking for some volunteers to…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Spring Snow
You’ve heard of spring rain but where I live we had spring snow today. It doesn’t look like I’ll be heading outside for any outdoor pursuits (like cleaning up the yard) this weekend so Mother Nature has given me extra time for writing. I knew something good had to come out of it. It’s been…

Friday Ramblings From an Author-Happy Spring
Snow’s still on the ground and it doesn’t look much like spring where I live but at least it keeps me inside and writing. I’m almost done with my writing a synopsis e-book, making my way through the cookbook, and best of all, finished the first draft of another shifter story. This one’s shorter and…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost Spring
Lighter evenings, darker mornings and spring is just around the corner. I’m not sure if it was due to the hour we lost last weekend, but I’ve been trying to play catch up all week long. Although I did get a lot of writing completed. I finished my shifter story and off to Evernight. I…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Remember to Change The Clocks
I usually write my fiction in the early evening and when we put the clocks forward one hour it means I’m suddenly writing while it’s still light outside. I’m not sure if I write better or faster when the curtains are pulled and the fire’s burning or when it’s bright and sunny outside. After this…
The Monday Writing Prompt-Time Travel
My first published novel was a time travel novel. So today’s writing prompt has that theme. Your character has accidently stumbled upon a way to travel backwards (but not yet forward) in time. Where do they go and what happens when they want to get back to the present day? Happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Goodbye February
I always say it, but it seems like February flew by. I’m sure it was just yesterday that I turned the calendar over to 2014. Three more weeks until Spring…I only wish the weather knew it. The synopsis workshop finished today. It’s always a fun one to teach. On Monday two more workshops begin. Right…
