Wednesday Writing Prompts-Train Journey
Wednesday prompts hasn’t featured a photo prompt in a long time so I thought this week we’d use one. Here it is- Does the couple start a train journey? Are they returning from a journey? Have they only just met on the train? Will your story have a romance or mystery element to it?…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Reviving a Blog
May is flying by…. Thank you to this week’s guest blogger. Next week I have two interviews lined up that I’m excited about. First one is with the author who (she never knew it), inspired me to write (at least try) a book a month. When you learn how many words she writes per…
Wednesday Writing Prompts-The Grass Is Always Greener
This week’s prompt is based on the saying- The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Does you character utter these words? Does someone else say them to your character?

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Getting Ready for Al Fresco Writing
Welcome to the first Friday Ramblings of the month. I was hoping to write this one outside because the sun is shining but it’s gotten windy in the last hour or so. This weekend I’m dragging out the patio table and chairs and determined that next week I’ll be doing the first al fresco writing of…
Wednesday Writing Prompts-The Light At the End of the Tunnel
For this week’s prompt, the word’s the light at the end of the tunnel should feature somewhere in it. It could be the title. It could be a line of dialogue. It could be the theme. It could even be the opening or closing line. Have fun and happy writing.
Writing From The Heart: New Genre, New Beginnings with Mary Kit Caelsto
Today’s guest blogger Mary Kit Caelsto tells us what prompted her to write a new series… In the equestrian world there’s a saying: throw your heart over the jump and the horse will follow. It’s a belief I took into my new-to-me genre equestrian women’s literature. Writing and publishing isn’t new to me. I’ve…
