This is going to be short and sweet. For the past few days, I’ve been really sick, coughing until my throat and chest feel raw, sneezing, etc. I went home early from work yesterday. I’m here today, but I’ll probably go home early again. I probably should go to the doctor, but where I go [...]

ROW80 and Birthdaypalooza
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged birthdaypalooza, kait nolan, ROW80, susan bischoff, writers retreat on February 26, 2012 | 10 Comments »
The two topics in the title kind of go together because Birthdaypalooza was a big help for ROW80. I spent many hours with two fabulous authors on Friday and Saturday. Susan and Kait take their writing very seriously and are very professional in their approach. Not to mention they are two of the most fun [...]
Excited!

Today is a very exciting day. Why? Because Susan Bischoff is coming to my house, and then she and I are going to Birmingham to meet Kait Nolan. We’re staying there one night, and we’re going to have a great little writers retreat. We always have so much fun when we get together. Have any [...]
Why Do Certain Books Sell?

I’m sitting here scratching my head and wondering why some books sell and some don’t. I don’t mean all books, I just mean mine. LOL Why do the same two books sell the best all the time? Guardian Vampire took off in January and February of 2011 and made me a lot of money in [...]

A little writing progress. I sat down last night and added some things to my story so the ending would make more sense. I explained something that was just mentioned in passing about one of the characters. I added the simple stuff right into my manuscript, but the more complicated stuff I wrote in a [...]

My friend, Anya, tells me she never reads a book more than once. When she’s read it, she’s done. That got me thinking about what books I’ve felt like were so good that I’ve read them more than once. Here’s my short list: IT by Stephen King The Touch by F. Paul Wilson The Doomsday [...]
ROW80 Check In…and Other Stuff
Posted in Uncategorized on February 19, 2012 | 11 Comments »
There’s not a whole lot going on with the writing. I’m 2/3 through proofing the novella collection for print. I’ve put my garden gnome horror story (still no title) aside for just a little while so I can look at it with fresh eyes before starting major edits. The Christian romance is going okay. Exercise [...]
What Do Your Characters Look Like?

Most of us, when we’re writing a story, have at least a vague idea about what our characters look like. Some writers have a particular look in mind and make up someone completely from scratch. But many of us see certain actors in our minds when we think of our characters. It’s hard for me [...]
My Feelings Were Hurt

Okay, I’ve been acting like a big baby over this. And it’s so totally out of my character, I can’t figure out what’s wrong with me. I’m a very easy going person who lets most things kind of roll off my back, and I rarely let things get me down. I’ve had some hard days [...]
