Another week comes to an end…and February is also slowly drawing to a close. Did I tell you I’ve been trying something called block working? Someone told me if you pick one project and just work on it, work on it, and nothing else, you sail through your to do lists. I hated it at…

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
Enjoying the video prompts? I have another one for you. Where is this man walking to? Is he about to confront someone? Heading to ask someone to marry him? Is he lost maybe? So much you can do with this one, so have fun and happy writing. [wpvideo G5glBSh3]
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…
Wednesday Prompts-The Road to Where?
Another video as a writing prompt. This time it’s the snowy road to somewhere. Is your character the driver, the passenger? Maybe the person who lives at the end of this road and someone’s about to stop by? Is it an innocent visit or maybe something sinister is about to take place? Remember to press…
Tuesday Guest Blogger-Jaime Samms
Time for another guest blogger and today it’s Jaime Samms… When did you begin writing? The answer to when did I begin making up stories isn’t the same as the answer to when did I begin writing. I’ve been daydreaming and making up stories in my head since… well. Since forever. I don’t remember when…
Monday Motivation-Today, Not Someday
I overheard this last week and it stuck in my mind. I thought I’d make it into a motivational quote graphic to share with you. I’ve put it on this Post It note to remind you how important it is to follow your heart, pursue your dreams now and not ‘someday’. Don’t be the person…
