Category: My Writing Life

Yeah, I look quite a bit like this today. I screwed up.  I have a writer’s conference in two weeks and I’ve been trying to get back into shape for that as well as some author photos I need done. Gradual is just not in my makeup.  Nope.  I must jump full force into everything…

Quite a few of my buds are in Pittsburgh at the RT convention and I can’t wait for the pics to start popping up on the Net.  (Looks like the Smart Bitches plan to blog daily on the happenings–which should be a riot!) Since I’m not there, I was thinking quiet time for writing.   Ended up spending…

Check this out.  Found this here.   Once I figure out how to buy one, it’s going up in my office.  I love what it’s supposed to represent.  My hubby said it scared him. There is something interesting about this strong goddess figure bringing that reaction, yes? 😉 Lynn Dewart Sculpture Rinda The Scandenavian Goddess She…

There’s a saying we writers hear constantly.  Write what you know. I go by a different creed.  One that can loosely be translated into write what you know.  Write what you love. When there’s a subject we’re passionate about, we tend to know more about it, yes?  For instance, I’m crazy about cultures.  DOTT has references…

I had this lovely Emerson quote all saved for Friday and as I was looking for an image to go with, I stumbled upon this.  This is the most fitting image of my head at this time. 😉 Is spring a difficult season for you all as well?  There are wedding showers, weddings, conferences, my…

Sorry for the peekaboo headers.  I lost my cool, green one when the laptop died and I don’t like any of the ones I’ve uploaded. So, it’ll still be changing. <g>  I’m trying to find mine and if I don’t, there has got to be something out there!  Wish WordPress would let me test them…

The Writer’s Digest Character Naming Sourcebook by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  This isn’t the cover I have, but my copy is probably a few years older.  I pull this book out every single time I need a name.  Sometimes, a character’s name will come to me right away.  Sometimes, I don’t understand the character until I know…

Since I know a lot of Snark readers have been following this blog to get insight into one writer’s weird head, thought I’d share what this current progress feels like. Or try. Pretty hard to explain, to tell you the truth.  I feel like I’m on the edge of this massive lake of what looks to…
