Did everyone catch the solar eclipse the other day? Where I live a storm was on the verge of passing through so I didn’t get to experience it as much as I’d hoped. August is slowly winding down and so is summer. Today I noticed leaves on some trees beginning to turn. I’ve added my…

Writing Through Loss and Writer’s Block
In my last Ramblings I mentioned that I wanted to pen a post about writing through painful events in your life so here it is. If you didn’t see last Friday’s Ramblings you won’t know that I recently learned that someone who was(and I should say, still is), very special to me, had passed…
Monday Writing Prompts-Solar Eclipse
You’ve probably guessed the focus of today’s prompt…the solar eclipse. You character decides to travel to a town to view it. What happens? Does he or she arrive there in time? What do they think as they view it? What happens after? Have fun and happy writing.
Monday Writing Prompts-Surfing
This prompt focuses on a character who goes surfing. It could be the first time they go and they’re taking lessons. Maybe they’re a pro and teaching someone else. Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Dreaming of Hawaii and New Zealand
It’s felt like summer (high heat and humidity) this last week or so and I can’t believe we’re at the half way point. And no, I still haven’t gotten around to my summer reading list yet. I have been reading but not books from my list. For some reason…maybe I’m itching to do some traveling, but…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Week of Planning
I’m not sure what it is about the month of July but sometimes I feel like it’s the beginning of a new year instead of the middle of one. I’ve been in a planning state of mind. Anyone else check their goals when we’re half way through the year? I’ve done it before but this…
Monday Writing Prompts-Starfish
For this prompt your character is walking on the beach and finds a starfish. Some possibilities for story direction could be- What is your character doing on the beach? Has he or she been to this beach before? Maybe it’s a beach by their childhood home. What emotion does seeing the starfish evoke? Have…
Monday Writing Prompts-Middle of the Story Line
This week I thought we’d try a line that occurs in the middle of your story. And that line is… It happened once before. It could be either part of narration or a character’s dialogue. Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Short Week
Happy Friday everyone. This week’s seemed strange and I don’t mean in a bad way but with a holiday on Tuesday it feels like it was cut in half and made it seem extra busy for me…not sure why. Summer’s well underway but not my summer reading. The only thing I’m reading right now is…
Monday Writing Prompts-Fox
This week’s prompt focuses on a fox. Does your character wake up one morning and see this fox in the backyard? Maybe they’re driving along and see it by the side of the road. Perhaps they stop to take a photo. Does seeing a fox even have some significance for your character? Have fun and…
