Knots? Not!

On December 15, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

By the time I recognized that I had been tying myself up in knots, I was already in a pretty tight tangle. Too happy that the narrative structure of my new story was all sorted out, I was unprepared to find that the plot structure wasn’t cooperating. The story was complete, already framed in my mind; and [...]

Officially Loony

On December 9, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

As usual on Friday morning, I checked my Twitter feed to read interesting news and to see my blog post tweet roll through. It didn’t. What the heck? Didn’t I schedule the tweets? Nope, I surely didn’t. Even worse as you can see, I didn’t post. The post was ready, but I exhausted myself trying [...]

Jazzed Time

On December 1, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

Just as with Sparks, my second novel is in the driver’s seat and I’m just along for the ride. For months, when I’ve had spare brain cycles, I tried to figure out whether or not a portion of it should be shown in flashback. Now that finishing it is one of my main activities, [...]

Takin’ A Wild Ride & One More Me

On November 24, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

For the first ten months of the almost three years it took to write Sparks, I had only one objective – to finish writing it. Then I added blogging. I liked managing both – each cleansed my writing palette for the other. Now though, I find myself with a longer list of activities and no [...]

Five Year Plan

On November 17, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

It has to be me. I’m sophisticated, accomplished; a good fit for his family. My career is important enough to complement his, but not demanding enough to interfere with plans for family, travel or his advancement. I’ve spent five years planning my approach; watching each relationship, studying the mistakes made by those who’ve tried to [...]

Who Am I?

On November 10, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

Embarrassing but true – I’m suffering through an identity crisis. Not in the sense of real name versus pen name, though that debate rages in some corners of the writing community. As much as I love to read, I don’t recall ever questioning the name on a book jacket. However, I have made sure to [...]

Detour

On November 3, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

It started innocently – for me anyway—as such things often do. At a poetry reading. He hadn’t been attending, but saw me through the coffee bar window and came in specifically to meet me. A powerful man; so attentive. I was flattered and quickly gave him my heart. Seemingly alarmed that I, in his words, [...]

Done, Done, Done!

On October 27, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

After almost a year of disciplined, structured writing time, I find myself finished with Sparks and at a loss for what to do next. There are several more character sketches I can write. My author platform needs work. There are even a couple of short stories I can finish. I’ve two novels in [...]

Fool’s Charade

On October 20, 2011 By Cathryn Louis

Two halves of the same soul; together we were one. I wanted her life to be about me, and only me. But she refused to give up her’s to focus on mine. So I left her—to teach her a lesson. To make her feel what it would be like without me. She is stronger than [...]

We all know that the Managing Partner is on his way to a Board position. One of us is to be his successor. To his credit, none of us has a clue which of us it will be. He has mentored us all; helped us all advance our careers. One among us wants the rest [...]
