It’s been another crazy week with lots of different things happening. Maybe it’s been all to do with that lunar eclipse that happened on Monday. First up, I decided to buy a smaller laptop/notebook so I could sit and do some more work at night while I watch TV. I’ve never been one to…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Back to Mysteries
It’s August which means I have to stick to my goal of getting back to mystery writing. I thought about starting a new one but have three half finished ones sitting on my computer. It won’t be the first time I’ve gone back to writing stories I started…let’s just say longer than I care…
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…
Monday Writing Prompts-Cooking Lessons
Today’s prompt focuses on a character who decides to learn to cook. They sign up for a cooking class and what happens there is the basis of the story. Do they discover cooking’s not just for them? Does someone get hurt? Maybe they find their true calling in life…. Have fun and happy writing.
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…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Another Busy One
Nope, it wasn’t just last week because this one’s felt busy too. Still haven’t gotten to my summer reading and it might turn into fall reading. The two week synopsis writing boot camp ends tomorrow and I can’t believe how fast it flew by. My students have been some of the best and have worked…
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…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Workshops…Classes
It’s raining and thunder is rumbling in the background and strangely enough it’s my favorite background noise for writing. Anyone else like a certain type of weather to write to? The June workshop I’ve been teaching finished today and my students were such a wonderful group of writers that I’m sad to say goodbye to them. Tomorrow…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Self-Publishing Made Easy
Welcome to summer…or winter if you’re in the southern part of the world. It doesn’t feel much like summer today but I’m not complaining because the cooler temps are just fine with me. This week I’ve been participating in an online retreat. Not a writing one, but workshops that center around creativity. One common theme…
