On Leaving..And Coming Home (A Love Letter)

As you might have guessed, I am home from France. Jet lag has not been terrible this time. We got home Tuesday evening and as I write this on Friday, I’m feeling pretty good. Which gives me time to dig into all the things that got put on hold while I was gone. And, boy, […]

It’s Summer, You Should Be Reading (A Love Letter)

It is summertime, and it is hot and nobody feels like doing anything. So, in my book (hahahaha) that means it is time for a lot of reading. Hot summer afternoons are made for lying on a hammock, or in air-conditioned comfort, giving yourself over to a book. Who has time for such things? You […]

Getting Good News (+ June Round-up)

Last month in my monthly round-up, I exulted over having just sent in the latest rewrite to my agent. And so it is fitting that a month later, I’ll give you the good news—she and her readers loved it, we’ll do a polish and it is on the submit list for September. (Because, as I […]

Charlotte’s Monthly Round-Up Love Letter

Okay, so I probably should have done this last week, because we are already six days into the month, but I just thought of it. I’m talking about a new feature I’m trying—a monthly round-up of what’s going on in my writing life. Hopefully you will find things of use to you. Outside my office […]

Five on Friday: Sunshine Through my Window

Fingers crossed for a nice weekend! Here’s what’s going on: What I’m Reading: Same books as last week, which I can’t divulge, because I’m reading for a contest. But I also have occasion to load up my Kindle with Ebooks because I read while baby George naps on my chest. So I have been perusing […]

Five on Friday: Good Friday Edition

What I’m writing: Draft Two of my first romance novel. I am living proof that you can write a Really Shitty First Draft and make it into something. With previous novels, I’ve known more about the plot and characters and thus had a more polished first draft (still crappy, though). There are many places in […]

Five on Saturday

Why I’m writing this post on Saturday: Because yesterday morning we had a big windstorm. One minute it was a nice, calm Friday morning and the next it was so windy I thought the fir tree in the backyard was going to crash into my house. And lots of trees did crash down all over […]

Five on Friday: Back From Retreat

What I did this week: I just got back from a three-day writing retreat in Astoria, Oregon. Oh boy oh boy was it ever wonderful to have three days to focus on writing fiction. I also remembered how great it is to enjoy the camaraderie of other writers. At night we drank wine and talked […]

Five on Friday: Gloomy February Edition

I know, I know, you get back what you put out so I shouldn’t be calling February gloomy. But for cripes sakes, it kind of is. I mean, we’ve got the Donald, and here in Portland we’ve had so many ice and snowstorms I’ve lost count (give me plain old Oregon rain any day), and […]
