End of winter blues Too soon? Cloudy skies again The birds sing: almost! *** I've always wanted to delve into haikus myself, and finally decided to start today! Yes, this is my very first, ever, original haiku. I think there will be many more to come! - JRF ... View Post
How Noveling is Much Like Running Marathons (or at least Half-Marathons… but probably more like Full-Marathons)
You know those people who go on and on about fitness and think running forever is awesome and they can't get enough of it and they tell you all about how running forever is like thebestthingever and you just gotta try it cuz if you try it you'll just love it and never wanna stop??? Yeah, that's not what this post is. So you can relax. Hehe. As some of you may know, I participated in (against my better judgment) the Disney Princess Half-Marathon on February 23rd, 2014. I was talked into this ... View Post
Belated Writing Prompt Wednesday: "The Night Before", an original poem.
It's funny I don't remember how I got roped into this Half-madness Full insanity Hordes of people in neon running shoes and princess tutus ribbons fluttering at the start ball-gowns and blinking tiaras All thrown to the curb by mile five With a 3am alarm Long shuttle rides and Hours in a crowded corral all before it even begins Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Running instinctual therapeutic Something in your blood begins singing It's all breathing and pounding feet 13.1 The night ... View Post
Project List for February 2014
Yep. Behind. :P Boy this month is kicking my butt already! (Half the office is out this week, meaning I have to work full time instead of part time and can't take any time off, one of the grandmas is out of town as well, meaning I have one less babysitter, and I'm supposed to be running a half-marathon in ten days and have only reached 4 miles in my training... *hyperventilates*... *channels calm*... okay anyway, let's continue, shall we?!) Let's see if I can scrape things together and get ... View Post
Writing Prompt Wednesday: An excerpt from Chapter 20 of "The Good Thing", the WIP novel.
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
