ALL ME: Writing & Interviews
Renewed Writing Passion
I know just a couple of days ago I was ready to throw in the writing towel, (forgive the cliche!) but I might have a new story passion. No, my current WIP is not yet edited, but I needed a break and this story kept bouncing around in my head. The characters kept talking to…
Fiction Friday: Writing Update
No news is good news, right? Well, that’s how I’m looking at it right now. Actually, I have had news on my WIP my agent’s been shopping around. I’ve been hearing good feedback about the writing, it even made it as far as committee at one publishing house and got a very nice rejection at…
Never Give Up!
The moving boxes are almost packed and put away. We’re just about settled into our new home and are making good use of it. In fact, over the holidays we had a total of four big “gatherings” in three days with miscellaneous friends popping in and out! It’s been a blast and exhausting, and I…
Fiction Friday: Where’s My WIP?
Heard from my agent that I got four “no thank yous” from editors/publishing houses on my WIP, BUT there’s still several houses that have it, and he likes what the editors have been saying about it.

Fireproof: From the Makers of Facing the Giants

Heart Transplant and Back Surgery
No, not me or even a friend or family member…MY WIP! I lost count as to how many HEARTs and BACKs are in my WIP. Between my the heart lurching, and jumping into throats and thudding against her ribs it’s no wonder my WIP had a BACK problem as well. As in BACK THEN, instead…
WIPping it!
I’ve been stuck on editing the last 3o pages of my WIP for weeks. I was in the midst of the black moment and I ran out of steam. My words seemed dry and dull on the page when it was supposed to be one of the most exciting parts in the book. So I…
How Far Would You Go?
I’m very squeamish when it comes to knives and blood. I especially don’t like those graphic images CSI is so famous for. So why in the world would I subject myself to viewing an autopsy on You Tube? Only for research! Through finger-blocked vision, I watched the first, second and third incision, noting the visceral…
