I've been having a rough time concentrating at home lately. There always seems to be things that take priority over my writing - AKA laundry, cleaning, you know real life stuff. Thing is, I can't just let the house stuff go, and if I do, it eats at me. But it also eats at me… Continue reading Write-In Event for Authors

Writer’s Toolbox Find
I am participating in the 30-Day Book Marketing Challenge, which is a wonderful resource I came across by author Rachel Thompson, and while working through the challenge, I found a great new tool! I thought it would be fun to share a "homework assignment" with you from Week 1. The primary focus last week was to develop a Twitter… Continue reading Writer’s Toolbox Find
Writer’s Block…Gasp!
Writer’s Block. A frightening concept for any writer, and something that most of them will tell you they have had personal experience with. So what is it?

However, without them, the story only reflects the water's surface. Perhaps it goes as far as snorkeling, but the tale generally doesn't get to the deep diving level that it… Continue reading Rewrites…a necessary evil

We call ourselves the Muse Crew and we have a blast creating, discussing and working out the kinks in each person's creative works .… Continue reading Strength in Numbers
Benefits of Writer’s Conferences
I recently attended my first local Writer's Conference, held by the Rochester Writers group, and I have to say...I am hooked! When I paid for a full day of seminars, I had no idea that what I would actually leave with, was months worth of inspiration and ideas that I could put into practice right… Continue reading Benefits of Writer’s Conferences
