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…
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…
Monday Writing Prompts-Fox
This week’s prompt focuses on a fox. Does your character wake up one morning and see this fox in the backyard? Maybe they’re driving along and see it by the side of the road. Perhaps they stop to take a photo. Does seeing a fox even have some significance for your character? Have fun and…
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…
Monday Writing Prompt-Letter Writing
This week’s prompt is about letter writing. You’ve probably heard about people who decide to write a letter to their younger self and that’s what your character decides to do. At what age is ‘their younger self’ and what do they discover about themselves and the past during the process. I think this one…
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…
