Writing

There are times in our lives when things feel as though they could not possibly get any worse; but then you spoke to soon and they forge on. Or you feel like your day could not get any better.

Since we purchased an older home we have nice big windows, but the previous owners painted most of them shut! You can imagine my soul banging at the windows dreaming of the fresh air that could be filtering through if I could open the two windows in this room.

With June beginning, it’s time to begin contemplating my next project. My series is underway with the second book coming out at the end of this month along with a stand alone novel. So what is next for me? Where do I go now?

You never know where or when inspiration can strike, but when it doesn't, you feel as though you have lost all hope of finishing that novel you were so encouraged...

There is nothing worse than sitting down to write, having everything ready; your notes, inspiration, tools and energy, to hear a notification go off or the dreaded "Mom" shouted from the next room.

Every writer has that one favorite quote or quotes they come back to in times of need. Whether they are having an off day, they have no motivation, or want an encouraging word from someone who has been there.

This year I am determined to put systems and a plan in place to accomplish my goals. If I took a glance at last year I would have one word for it… disappointing.

We, as authors, appreciate our readers. Let's face it, if we didn't have readers we would not be authors. So, here are some ways to say tell our readers that we appreciate them in our journey to become the best authors we can be.

Now that the weather is getting warmer and I actually got a sunburn yesterday even though it is only February in Wisconsin. I feel that my skin goes into shock when the sun gets a bit closer to the earth to create warmer days.

I’ve decided to give you a rundown of my day. Winter vs. Summer since those are the two basic seasons for me or I should say School vs Summer. We are currently experiencing winter (school) so I will start there.

I realize I am a bit late with this one, but my planning went a bit longer with all the Holiday events. To be quite honest it's the middle of January and I still have one more Christmas party to attend. Big family...
