Friday Ramblings From An Author-Cold, Snow, Cold, Snow
The title I’ve given this week’s Ramblings sums up what the weather has been like this past week. I don’t want to hear anyone singing I’m Dreaming of A White Christmas. It’s snowing again as I write this and it’s not even officially winter yet. I’ll stop my whining now and tell you about the non-weather…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s December
NaNoWriMo is over for another year. How did you do? I’m happy to say at least I got my mystery started. Finishing it is on my to do list for next year. Yesterday my new planner arrived in the mail. It’s the first year I’ve bought one in what seems like forever. I chose one where…
NaNoWriMo-Days 19 and 20
I got too busy with writing to post a tip yesterday but made a note to do it today. As well as writing my NaNoWriMo story, I’m working on two other stories which brings me to today’s tip. If you ever get stuck while you’re writing, one thing that’s always worked for me is switching…
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…
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 Auth0r-It’s Almost NaNoWriMo
Almost the end of October, almost Halloween and that means it’s almost time for this year’s NaNoWriMo. Lots of my students are taking part this year. How about you? I haven’t taken the challenge for three years but thought I’d do it this year because I want to write a mystery. One tip I always…
Monday Writing Prompts-Lists
This week’s prompt is all about lists. It could be your character’s grocery list, to do list, or even their bucket list as long as your story centers around it. Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Coaching Site Almost Ready!
I’m happy to say that my coaching business is now just a week away from launching. The plug in I was hoping to use for the self-paced workshops was no longer available so I had to go looking for an alternative. Everything I found was super expensive and as this is a new business I…
