Keeping in touch

Amy got me thinking.  What about this email/blog issue?  I think we all face it.  We could, probably quite happily, spend the entire period of time allocated for writing checking on incoming email, answering it, following up suggested sources of fascinating information, reading blogs, commenting on blogs, checking out associated postings here and there — [...]

Wrapped up in Writing

This past month and a half have been the most exciting in my writing life. It started with our chapter’s conference, continued with the Golden Heart final, and is still ongoing with requests. I can’t complain. But my family can. I don’t know about any of you, but when I get wrapped up in something, [...]

RT and Friends

This was my first time to go to RT and OMG it was so much fun. I didn’t actually go to the conference, but instead went at a fangirl. Which was great. Not that I got any more sleep then I would have if I was attending workshops, because I didn’t. Still stayed up to [...]

Castle

   Castle is one of ABC’s newest shows for Monday night.  I absolutely love it and so do my kids ages 10, 12 and 14.  I even let them stay up late to watch it since it doesn’t start until 9:00.  Finally, a show the family can sit down and enjoy together without worrying too [...]

My characters have faces…and bodies!

So I’ve never done the find pictures of live people for your characters thing. It seemed like massive procrastination and I’m not much into that when I want to work. Seriously, think about it with me for a moment. I spent all this time hunkered down over a keyboard inventing people up. And now I’m [...]

Nyms — to pseud or not to pseud: that is the question.

Ah yes.  What’s in a name?  Or more to the point, what’s in my name? I’ve been battling this point ever since I conceived the curious notion that I could write a romance novel.  Of course, because I usually begin at the wrong end of the process, one of my first concerns was under what name [...]

Over and Over and Over, Again?

It was great having Elissa stop by yesterday – I love having guest authors. I always learn so much from them whether it’s their story to publication or just their process of writing. Always fun. So since Melissa started the week with the dreaded “R” – rejection. I shall continue with another “R” – revision. [...]

Elissa Wilds Is Here!!!

We’ve got Elissa Wilds in the house today. Woot!!! I’m really excited to have her with us and to be giving away Between Light and Dark (you can read the excerpt on the link) as this months must read. Waiting for the book to release seemed like forever, and then once I had it in my [...]

Rejection Woes

I’m moving into the phase of my writing career where I need to start sending out query letters.  What’s holding me back is the fear of being rejected.  I know it’s all part of the process. I know I can’t get better unless I get good feedback. I know an editor or agent isn’t going [...]
