Thirteen Random Comments Made at TNG in the Last Week
Yes, ladies, you’re all fair game. What? Didn’t you get Crystal’s memo??
1. Friday: RG Until then I thought I could write to anything-but apparently the super kiddie stuff is not conducive to big, cursed, Viking nookie.
2. Friday: Ericka Now, what kiddie show has me drooling? THE [...]
Keep Your Priorities Straight
RG talked yesterday about karma in regards to helping out other writers. I think most of us have been on the receiving end of a more advanced and skilled author’s generosity, but let me tell you a little story. A couple years after I started submitting my work, I joined a writing community founded by [...]
Good Karma
Karma: the law of cause and effect. Or as Justin Timberlake so wisely and yet so funkily put it…
“What goes around, goes around, goes around,
comes all the way back around-yeah.”
{Dont mock me Crystal. Yes I quoted JT}
It’s a doctrine that spans the spiritual world. As you sow so shall you reap, to receive you must [...]
Poetry Monday
R.G. Alexander woke me up to the weird wonder of Poetry Monday. While her poetry is actually poetical and stuff, mine is so not. I can’t do poetry. Not even a little. Hence the joy and love I now have for Haiku. It’s the poetry for people who can’t write poetry. How awesome is that?
So, [...]
Happy Memorial Day Weekend
For many of us, it’s just a long, well-deserved weekend complete with camping trips, backyard barbeques with friends and family, and for some, there’s an obligatory trip to the cemetery shoe-horned in.
My childhood was full of trips to the cemetery. But there was one trip I remember vividly. We’d travelled almost an hour to my father’s [...]
Don’t You Just Love Holiday Weekends
Becauase rest assuredly, if your family is anything like mine, you’ll rarely get any alone time, or a chance to sneak away to your computer to post like you’re supposed to. So, I’ll blame them (*smile*) for my total slackiness in not posting yesterday. So, let’s just run down my day.
Every Memorial Day weekend my [...]
Top 10 Theme Songs You Don’t Want To Hear Writing Dirty
Oh you know what I mean. Those songs in the background that ruin the mood.
Yep, you know. I know you do. Here they are.
10. The Sesame Street Song
It’s a little too happy for the kind of sex I like to write. {Sunny Day, sweeping the clouds away…..}
9. Blues Clues
Seriously, who [...]
Thirteen Signs It’s Almost Summer
Thirteen Signs It’s Almost Summer
1. The mosquitos are the size of helicopters.
2. Boys of Summer and Margaritaville are every other song on the radio.
3. Only two days left of school!
4. The smoke from the wildfires in Ga and Fl have forced us all inside. We have this problem every couple of years.
5. [...]
If I Could Be Like That…
Over the years, I’ve read a lot of interviews with various different authors. While some talk in detail about the craft, there are other very popular authors who say their characters and world popped into their head mostly fully formed, or that their story “told” itself to them as they wrote it.
Organic writers, or “pantsers.” [...]
What if?
This is quite possibly my favorite question ever. Always has been. Okay I had a short stint around the age of four when What if? was temporarily usurped by Why?, but soon enough I returned to my old favorite. A much more interesting question that didn’t have to be proven by dull, monochromatic facts.
What if [...]
