Just nine more days to go until this year’s challenge is history. How is everyone doing? For those of you in the US, the challenge is the same month as Thanksgiving…and Black Friday too. Some people have told me they were doing fine until the holiday and then had to take over the cooking…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Tip of the Day
I’m behind with posting my tip of the day and my Friday Ramblings. For some reason I had trouble getting onto WordPress later this afternoon. Anyone else have problems? I’ll start with my tip for this 20th day of NaNoWriMo and it’s use the challenge to gauge what’s difficult and what’s easy for you as a…
Monday Writing Prompts-Just Where Am I?
Another photo writing prompt and this time your character wakes up in this vehicle but has no idea how he or she got there. As they walk outside not even the surroundings look familiar. Lots of things you can do with this one. You can make it suspenseful or even humorous. Have fun and happy…
NaNoWriMo-Day 9
The start of the second week of NaNoWriMo and hope things have started well for you. My tip of the day is one that I know isn’t for every writer but for some it’s perfect. Sometimes finishing that day’s writing on a cliffhanger can jumpstart things when you return to it the following day. Maybe your character’s…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Writing a Novel in 30 Days
Another year of workshops is over and now it’s time to think ahead to next year and the new line up I have planned including the bootcamp style classes. I’m looking forward to teaching those. Now with some extra time, I’ll be revamping my Web sites, setting up the writing coach service I’m hoping to…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-The Last One of Summer
I intended to post the next book on my summer reading list but thought I’d wait for the weekly rambling. I’m ashamed to say next week it’s fall and I only got to book 7. I’m about sixty pages into this one which is Confessions of a Courtesan by Elizabeth Charles. So far I’m really enjoying…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost A Repeat
This week almost mirrored last week because I’ve been doing a little of everything again. I had two students finish their writing courses. I’m always sad to see them go. I got another book uploaded to Kobo and B and N, and worked on my shifter story. And yes, finished the first draft of my new historical…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost Finished My WIP
The June workshop concluded today which means I have a two month break to get caught up on the books I plan to self publish in September. I also hope to get some serious reading done too. Remember I’ve set myself the goal of reading twenty books between now and September. The weather’s been perfect and…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Summer’s Almost Here
Only one week left of spring 2015. Next weekend I’ll begin reading the first book on my summer reading list. I’m not sure exactly which one it will be. Do you sometimes find you’re in the mood for a certain genre? It’s not necessarily the book you don’t like but sometimes you’d rather read something humorous or…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Mid-August
The days are getting shorter again and where I live it’s dark by 9 p.m. Has anyone made their writing goals for fall? Mine are to get more writing how to books finished. And if you’re thinking of taking part in this year’s National Write a Novel Month, be sure to check out my new…
