I’m very excited to be starting off my blogging year as part of The Next Chapter blogging book club. It was pure synchronicity; I discovered the Next Chapter site for the current book, The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women, yesterday and I realized, “I have that book!” So I dashed off an email to [...]

Pre-Writing with Collage
The other day, I found this page at author Jennifer Crusie’s site, which details how she uses collage as a form of prewriting, and for continued inspiration as she writes her books. You can see the collages she has put together for various books here; Crusie has an art background and it shows! Her collages [...]
Shoot for the Moon
Confession: I haven’t even taken a look at any of those 700+ pictures from Disney yet. So recording those memories for prosperity here isn’t quite doable at the moment. But soon, I’m promising myself.
Instead, I’ve been glued to my computer monitor, surfing around and feeling rather fulfilled because I’ve been finding so many wonderful things. [...]

And now, without further ado, simply [...]

Looking at the screen and the college-ruled paper, both [...]
Writing Intention
One thing that I learned during NaNoWriMo month is that it’s just taking that first step – sitting down to write. And an hour of writing can give me almost 2000 words.
So I’ve decided to set a writing intention: writing for an hour every day.
I’ve put my current novel in the sidebar to the [...]
November Wrap-up
It’s the end of November already – this month has passed by so fast, and I’ve both accomplished a ton of stuff, and not done everything I’ve wanted to do.
NaNoWriMo: I didn’t reach my 50,000 words on the one hand, but my initial goal was never to do that. It was to simply get [...]
