Being both a highly verbal person and a confirmed nerd sort, I frequently want to quote things- movies, Internet stuff, comedians.  There are certain things that I want to say ALL THE TIME.The problem is, no one understands me when I say them, so I come off as having a bizarre form of ...

Awww... *tear* We're working on it! MAYBE the first week in January-ish...

That's my favorite part, the endless explanations. And then they still look at you sideways and shake their heads.

1.) Well, it's only November 4th, but my new writing ideas seem to be working.- I don't write in the afternoon, instead I do early morning or evenings- I made a playlist of songs that go with my story and characters, and I only listen to it when I write- I bought myself a bag of discount Halloween...

Christian is soooo much like you when you were little. He told Bailey while they were playing the other day that the barn was being hit by a tornado.... He has an amazing imagination just like you!!!!

It appears that the template I'm using for my blog is no longer acessing its background photos. *taps fingers on desk* It could just be a temporary server issue, but if not, I'm going to have to do a little reconstrutive surgery over the next few days.Yeesh....

I did not write the following post, though I wish I had.  But since I read the original-- almost a year ago--I have never forgotten it.Now, as some of us are counting down the days until November and some of us are in the middle of rewrites and deadlines, I'd like to take a moment.  A short space i...

All right my lovely commentators-and-lurkers, I have a question!What is your opinion on National Novel Writing Month...
Miriam S.Forster
Three quick things...1.  If you have written or are writing a novel, you need to go visit Alexandra Sokoloff at The Dark Salon.  She is a screenwriter-turned-novelist with some great insights on how to build a compelling story.This was the post that hooked me. 2. ...

I've been thinking a lot about the subject of patience, and waiting for things.  This month has had a weird feel, a bit like the first few weeks after Christmas and New Year's, when all the fuss is over, but it's too early to plan for Easter or summer or whatever.For example, I'm finished with the ...

Last month, I shared that, despite my love of the fantastic in all forms, I'd read far more mysteries than fantasies.  Imagine my surprise then, when I checked my Goodreads this week and found that fantasy is catching up!As I was trying to figure out the reason for the upswing, I realized ...
