Time for another guest blogger and today it’s Jaime Samms… When did you begin writing? The answer to when did I begin making up stories isn’t the same as the answer to when did I begin writing. I’ve been daydreaming and making up stories in my head since… well. Since forever. I don’t remember when…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Friday Is a Busy Day
It’s Friday and it’s now become the busiest day of the week for me. I told you I re-launched my Budget Smart Girl site. I write a Ramblings for that too, plus on Fridays, I now get (or at least try to) one step ahead on the following week. I pre-load most of…
Wasting Time…No, Generating Ideas
One thing you have to be aware of when you’re self-employed is wasting time. Monday morning was an example of that for me…well, so I thought. My mid-morning ritual is to make myself a mug of green tea to carry me through until lunchtime. I work from home so that means going into the…
Monday Motivation-Are You Passionate Enough?
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…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-January Wrap Up
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.

The first were written and illustrated by crayon and always involved a beautiful princess and a castle. Since I started writing for publication…
Tuesday Guest Blogger-Tricia Schneider
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…
Monday Motivation-The Gift of Writing
I love this quote. We’re given the gift of writing, of sharing words, stories and thoughts with the world. Each day remember this special talent and put it to good use.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Word Fatigue?
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…
Fiction and Non-Fiction Writer’s Must Have Books
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…
