Happy Friday everyone. It’s been another week of what I now call this and that. A mixed bag of things I’ve done and achieved. I finally got the print version of How to Write A Romance Novel proofed and it’s now on sale at Amazon. I might add a print Nook version somewhere down the…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Last One of the Year
It’s almost 2017, can you believe it? What writing goals did you achieve in 2016 and what are you planning on working on in the New Year? I have a full schedule of workshops in 2017 and things kick off on Tuesday. I’m teaching You’ve Written a Manuscript, Now What? for the Low Country…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Is it June Already?
I find it hard to believe that in a few weeks summer will arrive. I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend, (if it was in fact a holiday where you’re at). I sat down and put my summer reading list together and as always, today I saw a few more books I’d like…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Long Weekend
May is winding down and it’s been a busy month. So busy that it seems like it’s flown by but I did get a few things checked off my to do list. I’m teaching three workshops next month. The first one starts on Wednesday and is the My Story’s Been Rejected, Now What? boot camp. The…
Been Rejected and It Hurts so Bad?
The dreaded rejection letter. The writer’s equivalent of a dear john letter. They’re a necessary evil that goes hand in hand with being an author who’s continually writing and submitting their work. I’ve had my share of them and once I even received two in one day. Ouch! Another time I received someone else’s…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Goodbye April
Another Ramblings and another month drawing to a close. I’ve achieved a lot this month and I’m taking a day or two to gear up for a busy May. Two workshops kick off on Monday. One being the brand new writing the erotic romance and erotica, and the other, the crafting the short story. This…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Glimpse of Spring
Today feels like spring could be on its way soon. I’m finding it hard to believe that there’s only one more week left in February. 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…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Another Writing Book
The last Rambling of the month. And yes, I always say it but January seemed to fly by. The first workshop of the year is history. Monday starts a new month and two more workshops. The writing a continuing series class, and the writing a romance novel, a mini course. As always, if you or…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-The Self Publisher
I’ve been wearing many hats this week, author, teacher, tutor, and self publisher. I’m in the middle of revamping an older story that I got rights back to and had the cover made. My goal is to get it ready for re-release by the end of the month. I’m also turning two of my…
