If you’re taking part in NaNoWriMo, how are things going? I intended to write some posts about it this week but got too busy but I’ll try and write something inspiring next week. This week has focused on setting goals for 2018. I’ve decided writing classes will feature heavily. I want to put together something…

Monday Writing Prompts-NaNoWriMo Participant
I thought it might be fun to write a short story based on what’s happening right now…NaNoWriMo. Your character is taking part for the first time and decides to venture into a local coffee shop to write at least 2,000 words in an hour. Do they achieve their goal? Like any great story they should…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-NaNoWriMo Begins
I was going to say it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…well at least it does when I look out of my window but alas it’s only the beginning of November. I have a feeling this winter’s going to be a nasty one. It’s that’s true, probably sometime in January you’ll hear me ranting and…
Monday Writing Prompts-Scared
It’s almost Halloween so you’ve probably guessed the focus of this week’s prompt. It’s all about being scared. It doesn’t have to be horror story scary but your character needs to face something that increases their heart rate. It could be a visit to the dentist, taking a driving test, or even asking…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-The Countdown to NaNoWriMo Begins
Oh no, it’s snowing, breezy and cold. I always try to find an upside to everything and today I’m telling myself it means I’ll spend more time inside writing! NaNoWriMo begins on Wednesday. Who’s taking part? I might try and finish my mystery and also I have a brand new project. Someone asked me to…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Blog a Day?
The end of another work week. I say that but I write on weekends too. How about you? Are you a seven day a week author? I’ve been thinking about writing related topics to post on this site and whether or not I should do my own version of NaNoWriMo and post a blog every…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Productive Week
Happy Friday. It’s looking a lot like fall outside. One of my favorite times of the year…well if you don’t mind having to rake those pretty leaves. I’ve had a busy but productive week. I got rights back to lots of stories and I’m slowly playing catch up trying to revamp them and get them re-released….
Monday Writing Prompts-Fear of Heights
This prompt zeroes in on fear, specifically a fear of heights. That’s what your character has to deal with. Maybe they need to go into this building for an important job interview. Perhaps they even get a job on the top floor. Maybe they’re meeting a date at the restaurant on the top floor. How does…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Back to Paper and Pen
Another rainy day and yes, days are getting shorter. I sometimes feel more productive because there are less distractions when darkness falls earlier. How about you? Do you get more done in summer or winter? Speaking of getting things done, my October post for The Writer’s Room is now live over at Coffeetime Romance…
Monday Writing Prompts-Lost Key
This week’s prompt focuses on a lost key. Does your character lose a key to their car, their house, a safety deposit box maybe? Perhaps your character finds a lost key belonging to someone else. It could even be they find a key many years after it was lost. Have fun and happy writing.
