The Sinner’s Guide to Confession: Blog Stop

The Sinner's Guide to Confession By Phyllis Schieber Today I have the pleasure of hosting a blog stop on Phyllis Schieber's virtual book tour. Wouldn't it be refreshing for an author to pay attention to women of a certain age (especially if you are a woman of a certain age)? Well, Phyllis Schieber has!Her novel […]

A New World, Where Nothing is Impossible

I'm home from Nashville. I actually got home Monday night, but I went right from being picked up at the airport to see my Mom, and came home exhausted. Its a long drag across the country. I know, I know, people fly much longer distances all the time now, but I don't care, it is […]

Twitter: The Art of Writing Tweets

Twitter is, of course, the social networking rage. Seems like everyone from corporations to small businesses to solopreneurs to politicians are tweeting. And with good reason, I some people find it addictive. There are posts galore on how to best use Twitter to promote yourself or your business, how to not waste time on Twitter, […]

It’s Sunday: Do You Know Where Your Niche Is?

I just found mine. It wasn't really lost, in the sense that it was something I desperately missed. It was more like it was buried under the multitude of interests and ideas that crowd my sometimes-mushy brain (too much going on in there!) It wasn't even something that I felt I needed. The experts, however, […]

The Writing Process: Digging Deeper on Trees and in Writing

I took down my Christmas tree on Thursday night. I know I'm a bit late in getting this done, but I've had good reason. I developed a bit of a system this year. First, I removed the soft ornaments, home-made stuffed fabric Christmas shapes and gingerbread men, as well as furry bears from various sources. […]

Remembering, The Task of a Writer

At the hospital, time flows differently. It moves slowly during long stretches of waiting for something to happen. Then, all of a sudden, everything happens at once. The nurse arrives for a blood pressure check, someone comes in to draw blood, a technician arrives to cart the patient off for a X-ray. The patient is […]

Looking Back, and More Important, Looking Forward

It is New Year's Eve, 2008, the cusp of a new year. I'm a wildly optimistic person and every year I proclaim that the next year is going to be the best yet. And, nearly everyone of them turns out to be best in some arena. It may be very difficult for some people to […]

When a Novel Grips You

I'm reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson, and, like an obsessive lover, I can hardly keep my hands off it. I steal moments during the day to read it, I read it at night and I wake up thinking about the book. This kind of getting lost in a book doesn't […]

Character or Plot Driven? and Other Between Holiday Thoughts

My screenwriting friend Marc sent me a link to an article by Lawrence Konner, writer for a gazillion projects including Planet of the Apes (!) and multiple upcoming movies that sound blockbuster-ish. There's a lot of good bits in this article, so much so that you could take any one of Konner's pronouncements and expand […]
