I thought my next post would be about the fantastic Rose City Spring Intensive I attended last weekend. That’s going to have to wait because I was tagged for the Lucky 7 game and my competitive side refuses to not rise to the challenge. 🙂 Fantabulous author Brooke Moss tagged me for this game, and here are the rules: 1.) Go to your current WIP… 2.) Go to the 77th page… 3.) Go to the 7th line… 4.) Copy and paste the next 7 lines… 5.) Tag 7 other writers on Twitter or Facebook to play the game with you. …

We join a writing group to find someone to give us honest feedback on our work. Sometimes though, it’s a complete fluke that you are in a particular location at a particular time. A random interaction ends up in a meaningful relationship …

The universal answer to that question is, of course, CHOCOLATE, but I was looking for one that doesn’t increase my hip span. Oh, and wine works too, but after a few glasses I get too sleepy or too loopy to write. My main motivations to keep writing includes my critique partners, my local RWA chapter, and setting concrete deadlines for myself by signing up for a conference, contest, or class. These last few weeks, I’ve been enrolled in Candace Haven’s Fast Draft class where I committed to write twenty pages per day for two weeks. Think of it like NaNoWriMo …

Some of my friends have remarked more than once that I am a little bit of a rabid fan when it comes to Frank Scalise/Zafiro’s books. And they wouldn’t be wrong. I freakin’ love his River City books. I am so in awe of how well he’s crafted my favorite character Katie McCleod. Once I lend those same friends my books, they understand why I’m so enthusiastic about Frank’s prose. (For more insight on Zafiro, check out my review on Bark and an interview I did a while back.) I swear, it’s the writing, not the author that I’m so fascinated by. …

Although I love the support and interest I get from my family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and total strangers in the line at the grocery store–I sometimes wish they weren’t quite so enthusiastic.

Today when I was farting around on the internet…ehr, doing my research, I stumbled across YA writer Christa Desir’s blog about getting “the call.” It’s such an inspiring story, and even more so because the book she sold is one that she had to write, a true book of her heart. So do you all remember when I blogged about the book that will never be published? The one that I was inspired to write after the survivor testimonial writers’ workshop I attended last April. The one that was too short, too dark, too graphic. The one that I HAD to …
