Friday Ramblings From An Author-Outside is Calling
71 degrees today and the deck was calling my name. Nicest thing about laptops is you can take them anywhere to work but wasps ruined my plans. They seem to be everywhere so I guess it was the universe telling me to keep working inside. Two workshops kicked off this week…yes, the bootcamp got cancelled….
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Another Short Story Class
It’s a beautiful spring day and I’m tempted to go outside and write but I’ll probably get distracted and nothing will get done. I set two goals for this past week.

Friday Ramblings From An Author-NaNoWriMo Day 11
Another week’s gone by and here we are at Day 11 of NaNoWriMo. My tip of the day is don’t worry too much if you don’t get to the 50,000 word mark. Having at least something to show is an achievement in itself. You’d be surprised at how many people never get around to writing the first…

Before I forget, here’s something that might interest any screenwriters out there and it’s Final Draft’s Big Break Contest- http://store.finaldraft.com/big-break-contest.html Also, a little self promoting for my March workshops which…

Writing Workshops-Suggestions Needed
I know we’re not even half way through 2015 but I’m putting together ideas for workshops I’ll be teaching in 2016. I’ll be giving the old ones facelifts and hope to create some brand new ones too. Once again many will be taught through one of the chapters of the Romance Writers of America and some…
