Wednesday Words: Nod If You Can See This

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Silver James

Another hump day, another “prompt” for #1lineWed. Today’s word is **NOD**. Holy cannoli but my characters nod a lot–at least in the first draft. Which this is. So, cut me some slack, ‘kay? Those nods/nodded will mostly change to chin … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Illusions

Posted on April 14, 2016 by Silver James

Dear Universe, I am challenged every day, by reality and illusions both. As a writer, though, it’s probably the illusions that give me the most grief. Pulling gossamer strings from thin air, weaving them into words that tell a story, … Continue reading →

Friday Sinema: Foolin’ Around

Posted on April 1, 2016 by Silver James

I’ve never been much on April Fool’s jokes–pulling them, anyway. That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a good one. When Smart Bitches and Dear Author websites would conspire, I always enjoyed their goofiness. In searching for a video for today, … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Fix

Posted on March 24, 2016 by Silver James

The Universe is back in Romance Author mode. Don’t we, those of us who write, do exactly these things to our characters? Heroes and heroines betray/harm, makes missteps, violate trust, and create emotional disasters before we finally let them find … Continue reading →
