Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com That's my inner wild child above. In reality, we were tucked away between the covers by 9pm, lol I've seen a few wrap-up posts around the blogging sphere and thought it would be a good idea to do the same- maybe it will motivate me for 2022! Writing Wrap-up It …
Photo by Magda Ehlers on Pexels.com No one said it would be easy... Why is it some people seem to breeze through life as though they're blessed by every good luck charm known to man? Gorgeous, popular, healthy, rich, if you want it, they've got it. Obviously, there's more to these divine beings than what …

I'm thrilled to have James Cudney on the blog today! He is as kind as he is handsome, and a darn good writer to boot. 🙂
Series or Standalones That was the question posed by a member of The Story Empire earlier last week. You can read his full thoughts here– well worth your time. I’ve read many great standalone books, (Cinderella anyone?) but have to admit I enjoy stories set in a series much more. There’s a deeper connection to a) the characters, …

Photo by Lum3n.com on Pexels.com I've had heroes on my mind lately. From Dictionairy.com: noun, plural he·roes; for 5 also he·ros. a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character: He became a local hero when he saved the drowning child. a person who, in the opinion of others, has special achievements, abilities, or personal qualities and is regarded as a role model or ideal: My older sister is my hero. Entrepreneurs are our modern heroes. the principal male character in a story, play, film, etc. Classical Mythology. a being of godlike prowess and beneficence who often came to be honored as a divinity.(in the Homeric period) a warrior-chieftain of special strength, courage, or ability.(in later antiquity) an immortal being; demigod.

I thought I'd give it a whirl and share a short teaser from my upcoming contemporary romance, My Girl. This will be the third book in the Gambling Hearts series. If you've read Hold 'Em or Crazy Little Thing Called Love you'll be happy to know this is Aaron's story.
Spinning My Tires Lately it feels as though my writing has come to a standstill and I'm just spinning tires without going anywhere. We were talking about this at my local critique group meeting and I realized- thankfully- that at least I'm not alone with this dilemma. Some call it writer's block or writer's slump, …
Do you ever look back and wish there were things you could change? I'm sure we've all been there at one time or another.
Do you have a favorite author? One whose pages you could read without seeing the cover and you'd STILL be able to say without a doubt, yes, that is definitely their book?
I thought so 🙂
That's voice!
Have you ever started to write a book and had a secondary character try to take over the story? It doesn't matter how hard you work at putting them on the sidelines, they keep popping up at the most inopportune times. I've found it's better to go with the flow and see where it takes …

I don't know about you, but when the warm winds and indigo blue skies of summer appear on the horizon, the last thing I want to do is sit in a chair forcing myself to fight past the sticky middle of my current WIP (work-in-progress). It's literally like pulling teeth. I'd much sooner have my …

For an indie author, the tough job of writing a book, editing, choosing covers (all of mine are done by the fabulous Kim Killion), learning how to format (if you're doing your own I highly recommend Vellum!) and uploading to your chosen vendors can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, there are many informative blogs, such as Kristen …

found on etsy.com Through my critique group I've been learning the art of deep point of view. For those that don't know, this is when you remove the words that distance the reader from the scene. Deep point of view lets the reader view everything around them through the eyes and thoughts of one character. …
Today I'm hosting a good friend of mine as she shares her writing process with you, Sylvie Grayson. I hope you'll give her a warm welcome, 🙂 My name is Sylvie Grayson, and I was so pleased to be invited to take part in the Romance Writing Process Blog Tour to talk about how I …
