Live Your Dream
It’s February, the month of romance and today’s motivational quote is all about passion. Actually, not the romantic type (but I guess it could be). It’s the passion to write. Your passion to become a freelance writer or published author. This quote points out a simple fact, that being successful has nothing to do with…
Thank you to everyone who began following This Writer’s Life this week. I really appreciate it. January is just about done, February has one more day this year and yes, it’s snowing again. Good news is I did get started on my winter reading list. I always pick a few non-fiction titles, and thought this…
Yes, I know it’s not Tuesday, but we have another guest blogger this week and it’s Caroline Clemmons…. When did you begin writing? I’ve created stories as long as I can remember. The first were written and illustrated by crayon and always involved a beautiful princess and a castle. Since I started writing for publication…

This week, the prompt is all about lost treasure. Your character moves into a new home, decides to plant something in the garden, and while digging, unearth some coins. What are they?

This week’s guest blogger is Tricia Schneider… When did you begin writing? I wrote my first novel when I was 15 during summer vacation. It was a fantasy romance inspired by a strange dream I had one night. I still think often about that story. I wrote several more novel-length and short stories during my…

Ever had a week where you hope it is Friday and your mind isn’t playing tricks on you? I’ve been checking things off my to do list,and as most of them are word related, I think I’m word fatigued. Is there such a thing? You know you have it when simple words suddenly don’t look…
If you often wonder where ideas for posts come from, this one originated while I was dusting. Actually dusting the bookshelves in my office. As I took each book off the shelf, I thought I’d share with you what I think are must have books. I’ve divided them in fiction and non-fiction categories, but bottom…
This one could be for a horror story or maybe something less creepy. Your character dreams about this image every night for a week. Is it a good omen, a bad one maybe? Has the character seen this in their waking life? Lots you can do with this one. If you’re journaling, think about…
It’s Tuesday and time for another guest and this week’s it’s Cynthia Terelst… When did you begin writing? I began writing at the age of 16, at which time I completed my first novel. I became distracted by boys, life and then motherhood, and my writing was put to the side. Nearly 30 years…
