Not too long ago I was asked by a fellow author to participate in a series of guest posts she would be hosting on her blog about New Year's Resolutions for 2016. I promptly began writing up a post about my ambitious writing and publishing goals for the New Year, anxious to share them with her reading audience. But then I received an email in my own inbox from one of the indie authors I follow, Jeff Goins. And what he said in that email totally stopped me in my tracks, and made me realize ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: “Tuugaalik”, an original flash fiction.
I never in a million years would have thought I'd ever write something like this. But I agree with the idea that the more limitations you have, the more creative you become. And I needed a writing prompt for today, anyway. So, when Mia and Reece kept talking about narwhals on Twitter (you will have to ask them what started that, I'm only an outside observer! ;) ), I casually mentioned that someone needed to write them a narwhal flash fiction. Of course that someone ended up being ... View Post
7/7/7 Snippet Challenge … ACCEPTED!
A few days back I was tagged by Melanie Noel Bernard for the 7/7/7 Challenge.

The rules are the following: ❄Go to page 7 of your work-in-progress ❄Scroll down to line ... View Post

Writing Goals: Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for November 2015
And so ends November of 2015. Where in the world did this entire year go!? I'm not sure, either. :P In any event, I did indeed "win" NaNoWriMo, having successfully edited for slightly over 50 hours during the month! (1 hour of focused editing = 1000 words standard NaNo conversion) This was my first year using NaNo to exclusively edit, and while it did seem "easier" to meet the daily quota, it really wasn't as "fun", and it made the accomplishment really not feel like so much of an ...

Writing Prompt Wednesday: “Mad Morning”, an original poem in haiku
This is a poem from my upcoming new book of poetry I have planned for publication in May 2016, hopefully in time for Mother's Day! The poems will be all in haiku, and center around the adventures of motherhood. (With another one coming later for the dads!) Hope you enjoy! - JRF (to stay up-to-date on releases, join my mailing list here!) Quiet morning, the coffee brewed. Then kids awake, and chaos reigns true. * Breakfast eaten, clothes put on, backpacks collected, all into the ... View Post
