When I’m Not Writing…

This week my accountability group is blogging about our hobbies and what we do when we’re not writing. Last week’s post on Writer’s Block is also part of our How I Write series. Some days I don’t think I have time for hobbies. But then I remember just how much I spend reading. Mostly Science…

Writer’s Block: Real or Myth?

This week my accountability group is blogging about writer’s block and how we deal with it. Last week’s post on what has writing taught us and what we have learned over the years is also part of our How I Write series. “Is writer’s block real or a myth and how do you deal with…

What Can Writing Teach Us?

This week my accountability group is blogging about what has writing taught us and what we have learned over the years. Last week’s post on what inspired our current WIPs is also part of our How I Write series. I chose today’s photo with a nefarious purpose in mind. See, I don’t really want to…

The Burden of Experience

I answered “why romance” a few years ago on my blog — why read romance, why write romance. But I don’t think I ever got into why historical romance or even why set during the Regency specifically. I recently joined RWA (Romance Writers of America) and two chapters: my local in-person chapter here in San…

My Writing Cave

Compared to the old house, my new writing space isn’t much of a cave. I’m currently set up in one end of the living room. At the old house, we’d converted the formal dining room into my office space. Here, the formal dining room is set up as a library. Go figure. One of the…

Warrior Writer Recap

So, the Warrior Writer Workshop. I was scared it was going to be too similar to Todd A. Stone’s Novelist’s Boot Camp, but reading the book, Who Dares Wins, I realized the Blood Lessons and the Circle of Success rang much truer and allowed me to take those ideas beyond the writing and see the…

Laptop Returned

I’ve been floundering along for a while with some of the keys on my laptop not working properly. The buttons, F5, 5, T, G, B, -, and [ as well as weird things with the left butterfly or command key. It kept working on and off and it was very annoying. Back at the beginning…

Thursday Thirteen: Reading Habits

  13 Q&A On Reading Habits I found this on Wordtrix’s blog last week and she said to feel free to borrow! So I have! 1. What are you reading right now?I’m smack dab in the middle of this one:The Edge of Desire (a Bastion Club Novel). I’ve had it over a week, so you…

Radio Silence?

Last week was insane, this week is crazy. I’m not intentionally maintaining any sort of radio silence. I’ve been taking stuff in lately, and not doing much on the putting stuff out front. I’m still slaving away on the short story I’ve been working on and this morning the words came a bit easier than…
