Last Friday when I wrote my Ramblings it was close to 90 degrees but this week, well, I hate to share the terrible fact that it’s only 48 degrees. At least there’s less temptation to be outside which means I did get lots of work done. I finished the first draft of one of my WIPs, half…

Monday Writing Prompts-Opening Line
This week’s prompt focuses on the opening line to your story which is- I crawled along the railway tracks. Lots you can do with this one. Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Summer Reading Ahead
Today is the warmest day of the year so far, well at least where I live. Close to ninety degrees and it’s got me thinking summer reading. For me, one of the best things about summer is taking a book outside and seating reading until the sun goes down (or the mosquitos start to bite)….
Monday Writing Prompts-May Flowers
Last week’s prompt focused on rain and they say April showers bring May flowers, so you’ve probably guessed the topic of this week’s one. Your character opens his or her front door to find this pot of flowers sitting on the doorstep. Are they a gift from a secret admirer? Have they been placed…
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…
Monday Writing Prompts-April Showers
I couldn’t let April slip away without a writing prompt about rain. Does your character have something planned and rain would be an unwelcome guest? Perhaps your character needs it to rain or can even control the weather. Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Little Of This and That
The title of this Ramblings sums up my week perfectly. I’ve been working on lessons for next month’s new workshop. Working on my three WIPs. Sweating away at getting my new coaching site created. Speaking of which, I’m learning a lot and feeling proud of myself as the most non-techy person I know, when…
Monday Writing Prompts-Presentation
For this story your character has been asked to step in at the last minute and give a presentation to other members of his or her team. Is he or she prepared? What goes wrong and how do they get out of their dilemma? Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Open Windows
Last Friday it was snowing but today it’s been the warmest day of the year. Window opening time is what I call it. I even took a few hours off to get outside and clean up the garden. Still lots more to do out there but work calls so I’m back inside. I’m still putting…
Monday Writing Prompts-Bakery
Today’s writing prompt takes place in a bakery. Your character gets a job there. Is it a first ever job for a teenager? A part-time job for someone looking for extra income? Or maybe it’s a retiree looking for something to do in their spare time. Have fun and happy writing.
