It is a physical law that energy is neither created or destroyed. In spite of that, my energy disappeared. Fatigued beyond belief, I screeched to a full stop. To my surprise, my energy replenished itself and even grew. Then I understood – my energy hadn’t really disappeared, it had simply been spread out across too […]
Time to share how well I’ve stuck to the project list I made last November. The good news is that I haven’t added any more projects. Yay! The bad news is that I had to drop one. Ouch… Updating my web presence: Cathrynlouis.com is live on Posterous, and all the links (yes, even on cathrynlouis.blogspot.com) are […]
Simplicity. That’s what it came down to. In the end, my love of writing won out over my love of tinkering. I threw out all the wow-look-at-me colors, fancy widgets, and look-what-I-can-do ego boosters that I started with and went for the high-contrast look of a book. After all, I am an author. When I […]
It’s here! The end of the year. Next up – 2012. An amazing time to be on the planet. I can’t believe 2011 went by so quickly. I need two more months! Of course, I’ve compared to where I was last year. I have much to be grateful for: Sparks: I had expected to be done […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’d like to thank my cable/internet company for causing me to miss my scheduled blogging window last night, and giving me a vacation. Although I could post today, I’ll be imposing on a different part of my schedule. So I’m taking the week off and will post this week’s post next week. For my vacation, […]
————–First, a note: ————————- I’ve been honored to be able to share posts from Guest Authors during the past three weeks. I’d like to continue to share voices of published and aspiring writers, poets, and screenwriters that I’m meeting along my journey. Their posts are always available in the GuestAuthors section of my blog, and for […]
I’m revising a WIP with complex story lines. Even so, my fear was that by now, my focus would be drawn away from the process. I expected that I would frantically be going after anything that looked like it could be a short project; something for easing the monotony of the revision process. Yes, I know it’s […]
