Ah summertime….I've been on vacation, I've been slacking…no scratch that last one, I have not been slacking since I got home. There's much to do to catch up from vacation and get ready to be out of the country for three weeks. Awk! The thought of it makes my heart pound–in a good way and […]
Here we go again with our weekly collection of prompts from my daily Tumblr blog. Enjoy and write a lot, will you please? It would make me happy. #357 Use the words umbrella, metal and sunlight in a sentence. Now use that sentence as a prompt. #358 He couldn’t understand a word she said. […]
We are coming up on a year of writing prompts–isn't it amazing what a passing fancy of an idea can produce if you set your mind to it? Plans are afoot to compile the entire year of them into a book–that's a little project for August, before I take off for Europe. But in the […]

The prompt box I've been writing again–this morning, 2,000 words in an hour, words that came easily and almost effortlessly. This, after noodling around, trying to decide which novel idea to pick up next. (I've got four of them churning around in my brain.) I'm also a tad bit distracted, because my agent is […]
Herewith, the latest collection of writing prompts from my Tumblr blog, where I post a prompt a day. I hope they help you write tons and tons this week! #316 They tell me I should never have let anyone know what happened. #317 “Honey, I’m home!” Your main character’s significant other just walked in the […]
It is sunny and hot here in Portland, hot like in the nineties. Not my favorite. My office is upstairs for the time being (I'm working on moving it downstairs) and it gets hot up here so I'll be driven away from the computer soon enough. (I'm pretty sure we're going to see the movie […]
Bon jour! Here is this week's collection of writing prompts, a bit later than usual because I went out to breakfast at my favorite French cafe.
