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…
Monday Writing Prompts-Media Interview
Your character is being interviewed. It could be for radio, TV, or even a podcast. Why have they been chosen for the interview? Have they done something courageous maybe? Broken a world record? Written a book? Done something controversial? Are they nervous or excited? Are you going to focus on them preparing for the…
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…
Monday Writing Prompts-Speeding
Today’s prompt focuses on a character who is caught speeding. It could be their first time or their maybe they’ve been pulled over multiple times and they’re about to lose their license. Perhaps they’re in a brand new car. Do they talk their way out of it or are they going to get that ticket no…

Did everyone catch the solar eclipse the other day? Where I live a storm was on the verge of passing through so I didn’t get to experience it as much as I’d hoped. August is slowly winding down and so is summer. Today I noticed leaves on some trees beginning to turn. I’ve added my…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Summer’s Going too Fast
It’s been raining every day…not that I mind but it’s reminded me that summer is going too fast. It’s the first year I haven’t taken a break from teaching and I’m feeling like I’ll need some sort of break to recharge my writing batteries before fall arrives. Anyone else ever feel like they just…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Lots Happening
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…
Monday Writing Prompts-Photo Prompt-Storm
I saw this photo that was titled storm. Your story doesn’t have to focus on a storm but I thought it was a very dramatic looking shot that could conjure up no end of possibilities for a story. Maybe your character gets lost here, hides out in one of the buildings while the storm…
