Well, this is just a little embarrassing. I took a look back at the date of my last blog entry, and apparently I have been quiet since last September. Definitely embarrassing. Unfortunately, my blog hasn’t been the only thing suffering from lack of wordage. September was probably the last time I actually wrote anything new for my book. I’ve done… Read more →

So I’ve been writing now for almost 8 months now (with a few months off over the summer), and it’s coming along really well. I’ve given it to a few more people to read, and the feedback has been surprisingly good. Although I now have people breathing down my neck to get more chapters cranked out. Last week I thought… Read more →

Digging your own rabbit hole is an exciting adventure. However, despite the discoveries you make on your journey, sometimes you find yourself in a dead end. Hello all. No, I didn’t fall off the edge of the Earth. I could say that the summer was busy, my son was home from school, and I spent way too much time on… Read more →

When I was in labour with my son, he didn’t want to come out. He was way too warm and cozy, all tucked inside me. I should have known then what a stubborn kid he was going to be. Anyhoo, I pushed and pushed, and finally they brought out the baby-vac…it sucks onto the baby’s head and gives the doctor… Read more →

So I’ve been on a bit of a break. It started off as a few days to try and figure out a bit of writer’s block, and it’s turned into a multi-week hiatus. I have this picture in my mind of all my characters standing around, looking at each other, waiting for their next cue. They are the true victims… Read more →

I learned an important writing lesson today that I feel must be shared.   I spend most of my mornings at my local Starbuck’s writing. It was my husband’s suggestion…get out of the house and away from household distractions while I write. It keeps the child and pets away, plus the access to free refills of my favourite blonde roast… Read more →

So I wrote in a previous post that I was having trouble wrapping my head around writing the content that would make my erotic romance, well, erotic. I honestly have felt like that person who really, really, wants to go into that adult novelty shop, but just keeps walking back and forth on the sidewalk out front, trying to get up their nerve.… Read more →

I’ve found during the past month and a half of writing, where I write is almost as important as what I write. Part of the reason I didn’t start my book sooner is that my old laptop had been tethered to a wall outlet due to a dead battery (which costs almost as much to replace as a new laptop).… Read more →

Somehow…miraculously…I have finished the first two chapters of my book. And now I’m scared shitless. I started writing the introduction to the two main characters, separately. Then I filled the gap between. Threw some stuff on the wall to see what would stick. Went back to the beginning every day and reworked. Then all of a sudden, like when you… Read more →
