I keep saying that this summer is flying by but where did this week actually go? Seems like it was Monday just 24 hours ago. Someone told me it’s a sure sign you’re busy but that’s the way I like it. I think all writers have one thing in common and that’s low tolerance for…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Hello August
August already. It’s not just me who thinks summer’s going by too quickly because other people have also been commenting on how fast July flew by. I took some time off this week and gave my garden some TLC. I lost count how many weeds I pulled and I’m still only half done. One thing…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Mid-Summer’s Eve
Every weekend I keep saying I’m going to forgo watching TV, head out on the deck with a good book, a glass of wine, and stay there until the sun sets, but so far it hasn’t happened. Tomorrow is mid-summer’s eve so it’s now or never. Anyone got a favorite book you remember reading during…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Self Publishing is Here To Stay
Seems like every writing related article I’ve read this week has been focused on the merits of self-publishing, and as a self-publisher myself I couldn’t agree more that self-publishing is worth the effort and something that’s here to stay. I saw this article today on the UK Guardian newspaper Web site. Very interesting and here’s…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-May’s Flying By
For some reason this week’s just flown by. My first shifter story was released today and here’s the cover- I’m always nervous when I write in a new sub-genre so I’m anxious to see how this book fares compared to my others. So far I’ve written two more in this series and have to say…
The Monday Writing Prompt-Wrong Bus
There have been lots of stories about people boarding a plane thinking it’s going one place and they end up in another city, even another country. For this writing prompt the character gets on the wrong bus. Where do they end up and what are the consequences? Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-April or May?
The calendar says May but today it feels more like April again. Not sure what’s going on with the weather these days but maybe that’s the start of a good story. And speaking of good stories, if you have one to submit and frustrated that lots of the big publishing houses require you to have…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-One Project Finished
The synopsis writing e-book is finally a finished project. I loaded it onto Amazon on Tuesday…the process of which I should say was really easy. In fact, so easy I thought I had to be doing something wrong. Here’s a look at the cover and a link to Amazon, yes, I’m a shameless self-promoter. Next…
The Monday Writing Prompt-Water
It’s been raining and raining for at least 36 hours which gave me the idea for this Monday’s writing prompt. Create a story where water is the theme. Maybe there’s a flood where the character lives. Maybe the character is looking for water. Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Another Month Draws to a Close
I’m not sure where April went. At least it’s looking more like spring where I live and even daffodils have sprung forth this week. In May I’m teaching two workshops. The first starts on Thursday and is Are We There Yet? If you have a manuscript that you think’s ready to be sent to an…
