Today is the second day of National Novel Writing Month 2023. I first “competed” back in 2006. For those not familiar, the impetus is to write 50K words (mostly equivalent to a novel) during the month of November. Since way … Continue reading

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Choices
Crafting a story isn’t easy. There are characters and settings. There are backstories and possible futures. There’s action, and there is conflict–inner and outer. I remember a romance author once telling a group of us in a seminar class that … Continue reading

Wednesday Words: Never Been There
Yay! I won last week’s Thursday Threads using the prompt: **She had never been there.** I thought I’d do something a little different this week. The flash fiction challenge is limited to 250 words and those scenes always get expanded … Continue reading

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Voices

Wednesday Words: The Dreaded Blurb
There was no #ThursdayThreads prompt last week so I’m doing something a little different for words this Wednesday. Y’all know how much I hate writing blurbs, right?

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Lead
When I first read today’s message from the Universe, my first thought was that I’m easily distracted. This is a thing in my family. Only comes by it honestly as she was diagnosed with ADD. LG and I probably have … Continue reading
