Sorry about the skipped days there. Back being productive! Every writer finds ways to make her characters three-dimensional and interesting....

I'm going to see if I can do the post a day thing again. I loved it in November. Let's see if I can do it again. This time, I think ...

(How funny is it that Lady Gaga's Bad Romance came on my Pandora channel just as I got started!) Today, I'm going swipe ideas from o...

I've got one more post on Twilight on the runway and then NaBlogWriMo is done! What do you all that? The endless blogging a success? A w...

Just letting you know that, yep. Still hate Twilight. But I still much to say! Related to my entry two days ago, this entire articl e treats...

I ended up with a nasty computer virus today. My husband, The Charming Man, spent hours and hours getting me back up and running. It's b...

Ok, back to In Defense of Twilight, even though I hate it: Part Three. As you may or may not know, I have a degree in Library and Informatio...

Just how would a totalitarian regime based on fun instead of fear operate???

I'll be honest- yesterday's post was a little bit of a cheat, but I'm back on track today. I want to talk more about Getting Thi...

Sorry I missed blogging yesterday- I was immersed in the wonderful world of Saqra's F irst November Belly Dance Showcase . I loved it...

Today seems like a good day to talk about what books I think every writer should have. We all have our favorites, so why not share mine? ;) ...

Deadlines are another trick I use to get myself to work. I love them because I can then play the, "I am so superior!" card when I...

Let's be honest. We all experience insecurity and fear about our writing. Everything from "It sucks", to "I suck" a...

Somehow, I don't think my monster truck announcer voice translates well into text, but it was worth a shot. Because I really wanted to s...
