Oooooh yes. When I sent of my last WIP, I was on top of the world….mainly because it was done and off to her! I let it rest for a bit, then I re-read it with my “editor” glasses on. And ooooooh, my. Did it need work. Fortunately for me, because I did this it…
Clowns give me the creeps…they didn’t used to. Michaela insisted on taking a picture with him. He insisted on so much more in return. ***** You’ll find full guidelines on the TLT page – here’s an overview on how it works: Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).

I’d love to say I’m making great progress on my current WIP. In my head, it’s pretty epic. On paper (or the computer), it’s stalled. Funny thing about writing with a toddler and baby in the house. Most of the time, my writing happens in my head. When I do get to the computer, I…
This is where IÂ have been, and where I continue to live…editing and re-writing. And editing and re-writing.

This week I’m pleased to have dusted off my writer and editor hats and have worn them both! Not for my novel-length WIP, though. I participated in a one-hour challenge with my writing group and came up with a story that needs some finesse and a better ending. In general the feedback it received is it…
This was me, today at one o’clock. Actually, probably more like ten a.m. See, I signed up for Fiction War (a flash fiction challenge) with all intentions of writing a story! Writing something! And using the $$ I shelled out as incentive to get it done. Sadly, that was money down the drain. One evening…
