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.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Busy Month Draws to a Close
It’s hard to believe it’s October on Sunday. I always think once Halloween is over the end of the year rushes at you at a frightening pace. I get rights back to three books next month so I’ve been busy making covers for them and slowly working on their revamp. One other priority has been…
Monday Writing Prompts-Words With More Than One Meaning
This week I thought we’d try something a little different. Here are two words, fall, leaves. In your short story you’re not only going to use them but try and use them in as many ways as you can to show all of their meanings… For example, It’s fall. I hope the tree doesn’t fall down. The…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-TV Pilot Underway
Happy fall everyone…strange that where I live there’s a heat advisory and it’s muggy. I finally got my TV pilot script started. I love launching new projects! Today I sat down and wrote all my ‘beats’ on index cards. It’s making me think more visually than I usually do when I write novels. It’s a…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Critique Group for Published Writers
Feels more like summer than August did but the leaves are still turning and falling. I’m worried it’s going to be an early winter but still remaining optimistic. I’m in the middle of giving my office an overhaul, changing things around and getting ready to sit down and start writing the script for my TV…
