In honor of an earlier post, I thought I would share a little of my overwhelming need to have a full library installed in my home. (that would be like heaven on earth for our family – haha).
I spent about two weeks ago, cleaning out our house and freecycling everything that didn’t have a home or . . . → Read More: Overflowing Bookshelves

I haven’t done one of these in a long time, and I stumbled across this on another writer’s blog. I saved it for a day when inspiration wasn’t coming as easily – yes, that’s today.
So here is my version of the writer’s meme. (oh and if you decide to do it, please leave me a comment . . . → Read More: Writer’s Meme

I heard the most absurd thing the other day. I had a neighbor at our door (and then in our living room) that I don’t know very well. She lives much further into the neighborhood, and I’ve seen her at my children’s school, but have really never spoken to her.

I have entirely too many WIP’s (Work in Progress) right now. I have a gnawing need to get started on a new idea I have for a story. It’s the first one where I actually have a beginning, middle and end – ahead of time. Normally I let my characters lead, but this time I have . . . → Read More: Too Many WIP

I had to take a day off writing, so I am really not as far as I would like to be, but I am hoping all that will change today.
I spent the entire day yesterday spreading out my notes and print outs, and creating post it’s to get that section more organized. I am eager to . . . → Read More: Plotting The Next Part of My Novel

Three of my children and my husband are busy laughing at me, because I have assembled what I call my ‘Writer’s Tool Kit’. Well laugh all you want, but it helps.

I finally have what I consider a complete manuscript. But I wanted to play around with it a little and see what it would look like as a completed novel. There is a difference between formatting a novel, and formatting a manuscript, and it is important to know those differences. This is how to format a . . . → Read More: How to Format a Novel
