What did I just write?
I’m a writer, as in I have to write to silence the characters in my head that are begging to have their stories told. I really have no choice, I must write.
I admit most of my writing is done in my own personal niche in the garage. Yes, I said in the garage. Don’t worry the weather wont bother me. I have a heater for winter and a fan for summer. I even have a comfy chair for visitors to my lair.
I do occasionally venture out of my lair. Where do I go?Continue reading
Every writer I know enjoys a hot beverage of some kind while they craft words into stories. I’m no exception. The above photo contains my three favorite vessels for hot caffeine delivery. Each one has a story behind it, I’ve decided to share those steamy tales.
Going from Left to Right:
The mug on the left is one of my own creation, in fact followers of my blog may recognize it from an earlier post. I commissioned this piece of artwork and decided I wanted to surround myself with it so I had some photo mugs made using the artwork. I feel my words have fighting spirit and wanted to be able to hold it in my hand hence the mug.Continue reading
The more I write the more things change. The words on the paper certainly change, but so do my surroundings and where I get the most done. At one point it was the recliner in the other room, then it was the living room, now it varies depending on what I’m writing and if I’m editing.
I find I need to edit in short bursts, writing means leave me alone until I tell you otherwise.Continue reading
First off I want to offer my thoughts and prayers for those who were killed or injured in the terrorist attack on the Boston marathon.
Next comes the army wife, many thanks to the soldiers both National guard and active duty who were there, and immediately jumped into action. Tyler who is a member of the armed forces comforted a woman named Victoria wants to thank you.
Now the writer in me will take over. How many writers particularly those who write suspense and thrillers ever thought of this. I urge you to write your plot lines with one thing in mind, please don’t make your book a how to manual for an attack. Keep the details of how to build bombs in your research notes, while interesting and informative let’s not hand over that information. If you choose to include details about the bombs in your novels alter the specifics so they are not instructive.
I was thinking of this as I listened to the news yesterday and worked on my novel. I know anyone can google the information but let’s as a community not hand it to them even by accident in a novel.
