Are you thinking about becoming a freelance writer but worried you’re not an expert on enough topics? When I started writing I thought the same thing. In fact, it almost prevented me from taking that leap. How did writers know so much about everything? These wordsmiths had to be the smartest bunch of people in…

Wednesday Writing Prompts-Noise of the City
The last video prompt and it’s all about the city. Does your character travel to a big city for the first time? Why are they going there? Do they get lost? Do they find something unexpected? Overhear something? Maybe they rent one of the bikes. Have fun and happy writing. [wpvideo g8vRfRqG]
Tuesday Guest Blogger-Linda O’Connor
Say hello to today’s guest blogger, Linda O’Connor…. When did you begin writing? I began writing about 7 years ago. I was lying awake in bed, and, rather than worry about stuff that I didn’t really need to worry about, I started to weave a story in my head. I love reading romance with the…
Monday Motivation-See It, Live It
Call it strange, call it whatever you want, but sometimes seeing yourself doing something you want to achieve, is all it takes. When I struggled to get published, I’d go to the bookstore and wander around. I’d see my name on the books. I’d see myself at the front of the store, signing my latest…
Living Your Dream…a pep talk
I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about on today’s blog, but the beauty of being an author is something always comes to mind. Oftentimes, something happens or someone says something that gives you a nudge. Life sometimes gives you a gentle reminder about living your dream too. I don’t know if it’s…
Wednesday Writing Prompts-These Shoes Are Made For Walking

Tuesday Guest Blogger- D.V. Stone
Welcome today’s guest blogger, D.V. Stone… When did you begin writing? I’ve dabbled on and off for years but when I got laid-off about eight years ago the time was right. My first manuscript is still a work in progress. Aimhirghin, Kingdom at a Crossroad is an epic fantasy which needs so much editing I…
Monday Motivation-You’re Simply The Best
I often have students tell me they want to write like such and such an author. Having mentors, having idols is great but that admiration sometimes turns into I‘m not as good as such and such. Confidence is broken, writing stops, and dreams are crushed. We all have a tendency to compare ourselves and somehow…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Happy Valentine’s Day
I almost forget today is Friday. It’s been one of those weeks that has flown by. I finally got all the lessons and workbook finished for the first session of the summer retreat. Now I’m working on session two. One other thing I completed this week was my Content Creator’s Business Pack. As many of…
Tuesday (Thursday) Guest Blogger-Sharon E. Cathcart
We have another guest blogger this week and it’s Sharon E.Cathcart… When did you begin writing? Honestly, I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t writing. I was making up little plays and stories from the time I was a child, and arranging to have the plays performed for my classmates. I did a children’s…
