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?

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.

Monday Motivation-Does It Matter To You?
This quote reminds me that no matter how hard something is, even if it sometimes seems out of reach, if it’s that thing in life that matters and deep in your heart, you’ll find someway to achieve it. If it’s writing a book or becoming a freelancer that matters to you, you can do it….
Friday Ramblings From An Author-One Busy Week
The first full work week of 2020 is almost history. I don’t know what it is about the turn of the calendar…or maybe it’s being inside during cold weather, but I always seem to get lots done on my to do list. The Plotting Boot Camp begin on Monday and I have to say it’s…
