Clarity for Writers

So, there's clarity for writers, and clarity about writing. In a post about writing clarity, I'm being clear as mud. So let me explain. A few days ago, I was sitting in the backyard of a friend. Gorgeous summer night, and the surroundings were gorgeous, too: neatly mowed lawn and perfectly weeded and edged garden […]

Question, Question, You’ve Got Writing Questions? I’ve Got Answers

I had a brainstorm yesterday. As is my wont (for some reason I absolutely love that phrase), I was visiting my usual haunts on the internet, among them the Pioneer Woman's blog. And there I found that she is putting on her advice columnist hat and answering questions about reader's problems. And the thought occurred […]

Checking in on the Three Words of the Year

Did you choose three words (or one word) to live by this year? Have you checked back to see how you're doing with these words? Last December, in a post titled Three Powerful Words for An Amazing New Year, I announced my words and the thought behind them. Since we're halfway (gasp) through the year, […]

Novel Writing Writing Process

Knowing What You’re Going to Write Before You Write

How many words do you put on the page in a typical writing session? 500? 1,000? When I wrote my novel, Emma Jean's Bad Behavior, my deal with myself was to write 2,000 words a day. Didn't matter when I wrote them, but if I hadn't written them before bedtime, I had to stay up […]

Rejection

How Many Times Has Your Writing Been Rejected?

Last night, one of the members of my writing group got married. All but one of the current members of the group were there, and a couple former members turned up as well.
