That’s the question I’m being asked after posting ‘Second Best’. It seems there are those who think I’ve given away the plot of my next novel. Yes, there is a murder – but it is the catalyst for the plot, not the crux of it. So I have to answer. No, no, no – nothing […]
Dialogue. There are, I’m sure, millions of words written about it on thousands of sites across the net. Well here’s my five hundred words or so. 🙂 Why now? Because I’ve reached the first major dialogue scene in the first chapter of my new novel. Conversation starts early in the new book. First in the prologue, […]
Where is Hidden Cove? It sits between Jasmine and Keeper’s coves; and is fronted to the southeast by the slightly cross shaped Croix Island. It is unique among the Skye Point coves in that its terrace sits atop a thirty foot cliff face. The best way to access its beach is by scaling the cliff. Very […]
Social media rocks. This is probably the millionth article to start off with that sentence – most likely because it’s true. I’ve been fully involved in social media since last April, when I published my first novel, Sunrise on the Pier. Most of my time is spent conversing on Twitter. Love it, love it, LOVE IT! Endless […]
I admit it – the title smacks of bait and switch. But there has been a facelift – for my Facebook page, not for me. I started the page in April, just as I published Sunrise on the Pier to Smashwords.com. It’s basically just my Twitter and blog feeds. It was hard to get the […]
I started out this week looking (or listening?) for my voice. Along the way, I was unexpectedly thrilled to discover where my novel, Sunrise on the Pier, belongs. It may sound odd, but I didn’t choose a genre and then set out to write a novel; I wrote a novel and then had to find […]
I’m really jazzed about my interview on Writers News Weekly this week. Celebrating it and the upcoming holiday – don’t know that I’ll write a long blog post. Ah… Zen’ing out, finding my balance… **@*CRASH!*@** Oh crap…
I have written nothing this week. Absolutely nothing. Not a paragraph, not even a sentence. But…do tweets count? I’ve written lots of those! I don’t have writer’s block. I’m so jazzed, that I’m having fun researching. I’m engaged, plugged in,. So what’s the problem? I’m Tweedicted! So much information – quirky, thought provoking, funny; sometimes […]
I’ve been having fun with some Twitter tags – #girlgeek and #alphageek. I admit I’m a #girlgeek. I’ve not got the ego to claim #alphageek – for myself. But I do claim it for my protagonist in my current novel – and the as yet unnamed female protagonist in Skye Pointe 2 (SP2). They are #alphageekstothemax […]
At my keyboard, trying – and failing – to get back on track with SP2. Lots of writing – all false starts. Even so, I don’t throw anything away. I just file it in a folder labeled ‘FalseStarts’. I pace, I walk, I try to amuse myself with inane games, nothing works. Then I hear […]
