BOOKING THROUGH THURSDAY: DIY — MAY 31
Good morning, Bloggers! Today’s prompt from Booking Through Thursday appeals to our creative sides. Prompt: Cathy De Los Santos asks: If you could write a book, what would it be about, and why? (Though, of course, some of you already HAVE.) From 2006-2008, I published five novels, all of which dealt in some way [...]
FANTASIES, SNIPPETS, & DREAMS — MAY 30
I have a fantasy sometimes: a room or rooms completely lined with books, from floor to ceiling. Like in the photo above. Oh, I do have plenty of books in my home, and there are books in every room, including the bathrooms and the hallway. But wouldn’t it be great to have one all-encompassing [...]
WHERE DOES CREATIVITY HAPPEN? — A JOURNEY — APRIL 18
The hub of my creativity is my office…or so I believe. But when I think about it in depth, I realize that creativity happens everywhere. Out in the world, where I find myself drawn to certain people who could become the physical characterizations of someone in the novel I’m writing. Or dialogue I overhear could [...]
SELF-MOTIVATION: WHAT WORKS FOR YOU? — APRIL 10
Sometimes our journey seemingly leads us away from our creative process. That’s how the past few weeks have seemed to me. But while I haven’t worked on my edits much lately, I’m constantly thinking about the creation and the characters. Maybe that’s how the process works for me these days. Meanwhile, today I did [...]
CONTINUING THE JOURNEY — JAN. 11
As many of you continue with the ROW 80 Challenge for 2012, I’m taking a break…sitting on the sidelines. I’ll still be working on my WIPs, which are just about ready. Interior Designs has been tweaked, polished, and is heading out the door. Soon. Defining Moments needs a little more work. A read-through is almost [...]
12-14 CHECK-IN: ROW 80 — FINAL SPRINT
This challenge is going to wind down in just a week! Check out the other sprinters here. Suddenly I’m getting that panicky feeling. Wondering if I will finish the tasks I set for myself. But so far this week, I’ve worked regularly and I’m moving along on the rereading/rewriting process of Defining Moments. Yes, I’m [...]
DESIGNING MOMENTS — AN EXCERPT
In this excerpt from Interior Designs, Martha looks forward to the opportunity to entertain her new love. He stood in the doorway after I’d answered the ring. Looking gorgeous, as usual, with that big grin. Holding a large bouquet of flowers and a bottle of champagne, he should have been gift-wrapped, because I felt like [...]
12-7 CHECK-IN: ROW 80
Good morning and welcome! To see the other ROW Participants, click the link. Okay, now I’m frustrated again! The same thing happened to me on Sunday. I wrote the whole post, only to have just the picture show up! My other WP blogs are cooperating fully, but not this one. What does this tell me? [...]
11-27 CHECK-IN: MAKING PROGRESS
Good morning, and welcome to another update. To see how everyone is doing, click over to the host blog. I guess I could blame the holidays for missing the Wednesday check-in; or I could say there was nothing much to report. Both would be correct, but also they are excuses. However, I do have [...]
11-16 CHECK-IN: ROW 80 ROUND IV
Good morning, blog world! To find out what everyone is up to, check out ROW Participants Here. I have worked for an hour, between Sunday and today, rereading Interior Designs. I’m now on Page 136 (of 236), so I’m moving along. Check at Snow Chronicles for an excerpt. In this scene, two old friends have [...]
