Only two days left of this year’s NaNoWriMo and it looks like I’m going to finish on target. I’m glad I took part because it’s not only made me look at my writing and how I write a little differently, but it’s given me lots of tips to share with the students who will be…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-In The Home Stretch
Just over a week to go until the end of this year’s NaNoWriMo. I think I’m going to reach my goal. Now I’m wondering if I can match this output again during the rest of the year. A big help has been changing projects during the month. Yes, I began writing the final story in…

Friday Ramblings-Countdown to National Write a Novel Month
The last rambling of the month and next Friday will be the first day of National Write A Novel Month. http://nanowrimo.org/ Anyone else taking part? This will be my first time and as I’m teaching a workshop on this very topic next October I thought I should give it a try, see what works, what…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Gearing Up To Write A Novel
Anyone taking the challenge to writing a novel next month? It’s on my to do list. I have a couple of projects in mind and not sure which one it’s going to be. One of my publishers (Evernight) has just turned three and they’re having a party and giveaway (books on sale and prizes to…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Goodbye To My Favorite TV Show
It’s now officially my favorite time of the year, and not just because of the changing scenery. For me fall’s the time when I start thinking about and plotting new stories and ideas for books. In the frozen tundra, (and as I’m not one for being outdoors when it’s below zero), that leaves lots of…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-The Final One Of Summer
My favorite season begins this weekend. I love the cooler temperatures and watching the leaves change color…hate raking them though! This week I’ve been working on my sixth installment of the Perfect Pairing series. It takes places in Wyoming in December. Sometimes it’s hard to write about cold weather when it’s still warm but I…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Back Rambling
Seems like it’s been forever since I’ve rambled on a Friday but in reality it’s only been two weeks. Summer’s winding down, days are getting shorter, and I think fall is one of the best times to write and plan upcoming books. I’m currently working on the sixth book in the Perfect Pairing series. They’re…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Do Not Disturb Author At Work
I didn’t get time to post a Friday Rambling last week because things were hectic. The area where I live got hit by a hail storm. Luckily the electricity and Internet stayed intact because there’s nothing worse for a writer than not being able to use their computer to write or see to write when it…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Perfect Day
The weather’s beautiful which means the temptation to sit outside is too hard to resist. I’m lucky to live in a very peaceful neighborhood which is perfect for writing, and while I always write to background music when I’m inside, on the deck all I need is the sound of the water falling onto the rocks in…
