I wasn't really going to post any more snippets of the novel, but I recently had a rather nice request for more, and because I'm a softie, I have relented. Lol. This piece is from Chapter 20, the chapter I am currently writing. However, I actually wrote this back in November, and it's still one of my favorite scenes of the entire project to date. When I went back to reread and decide what to post today, I had to share this one. And honestly, seriously... I don't remember writing this AT ALL! Ha! ... View Post
Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for January 2014
Someone once said that to be a successful and productive writer, one had to do the equivalent of “cutting bait, fishing, and reeling ‘em in, all at the same time”! This translates to writing as working on projects-in-progress while at the same time submitting completed projects to potential markets and also continuing to cultivate new ideas for future projects. In case you missed my previous post on this subject, at the end of every month I compile a list of what I accomplished as far as ... View Post

Writing Prompt Wednesday: "Begin", an original poem.
You know, I wasn't going to make a post today. I was going to rebel against myself. Hunched over my computer all day for the day-job, my shoulders and neck were tense and knotted, my eyes burning from focusing on text too long. I was doing some eye-exercises to try and help relax them, looking out my window at the clouds and blue sky, and felt the tension start to ease... and then this began unfurling in my head, and I thought I should write it down. We could all use the reminder now and then, ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: 2 paragraphs from page 7!
Yes, today, I am being "lazy". Lazy in that I don't want this particular post to take up too much time, because I've only made my 1000 word/day goal about two days out of fifteen this month, and I plan on making it today! So. I happened to be tagged on Facebook by another author friend (Lisa Kumar, go check her out!) to post two paragraphs from page 7 of my current WIP yesterday, therefore, I've decided those two paragraphs will also be the stars of today's WPW! :) So, without further ado, ...

Writing Prompt Wednesday: "Precious Metal", a sort of found poem.
This poem is sort of a lyrical summary of the article "Gold Fever" by Donovan Webster, from the February 2012 issue of Smithsonian. It is similar to a found poem in that I still chose words and phrases from the article to create something new, but I also added in some of my own words and phrases, and kept the point of the poem the same as the general (yet far more subtle) point of the article, which I usually don't do for my found poems. But, this article incensed me so much (even though I ... View Post
