  • Monday Snippits: When do you write?

    November 1, 2009

    • This year for National Novel Writing Month, I'm trying to pay closer attention to my good writing times. For example: I can't write in the afternoon. My brain goes to sleep, it's hard to concentrate, and usually I end up taking a nap.  I write pretty easily in the morning.  But I do need more time to get really started, and I have to be sure and eat breakfast first. My best writing times ...
  • A Writer’s Schedule

    June 22, 2009

    •   Admittedly, I have a pet peeve about struggling writers who invariably ask authors during the Q&A portion of an event what their writing schedule is like. It's as if these newbies are seeking guidance on how they should find time to write. For what it's worth, I always thought if one wants to write, actually, if one needs to write, he or she will find the time and doesn't need to mirror ...
  • Read or Write?

    June 5, 2009

    •   Sometimes I feel so left out of the loop when people talk about a new book they are reading. It's not that I don't read, but I just don't read as much as I'd like or as much as I used to. The reason being is that I'm a writer working on a memoir while I have a novel on hold.  I'm also a publishing consultant. And a blogger. And I have to maintain my Facebook page and come up with a witty ...

  • The importance of staying sane

    March 21, 2008

    • Missed another Hump Day post, I see. I really would like to offer a good excuse, but basically, I frittered my day away in a wanton display of Doing Nothing Productive other than beginning to organize the tax stuff. In penance, and because I am so disorganized that I can’t keep track of these things, I updated my spreadsheet that keeps track of which outlines and books are due when. I’m ...
