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…

Monday Writing Prompts-Votes
I always say if you’re ever stuck for a story idea look to the news. It’s hard to miss that tomorrow is an election day so that’s the focus of this week’s prompt. Your character heads out to vote but something happens to prevent them from getting there. What that dilemma is, is up to you….
NaNoWriMo-Day 3
I’m currently taking a break from today’s writing sprint which is also my tip of the day. Some people don’t like to quit writing until they’re done with their word count but I like to stop every fifteen minutes or so and take a break and stretch my legs or even grab of cup of tea.

Friday Ramblings From An Author-New Class Platform and An Audio Book
It certainly feels like October today. It’s the first cold snap in what seems like forever and has me not looking forward to the winter ahead. And speaking of weather, I hope if any of you are in the path of the hurricane on the East Coast, please stay safe and my thoughts are…
Monday Writing Prompts-Tree Carving
This week’s prompt is inspired by this photo- Who carved the heart? Maybe it’s a couple who return to the tree after years apart? Perhaps someone stumbles upon it while hiking…. Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Goodbye September
Another month draws to a close and days are getting shorter which means it will soon be time for NaNoWriMo. Who’s taking part in this year’s challenge? I’m teaching a class on the topic (which begins on Monday). I’ve also decided I’m going to tackle it. I know I’ll be working on other stories so I’ll…
