My hero in Doctor in Petticoats is blind. It’s a risky thing to do and you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to write in a blind person’s POV and not over use words like hand and touch. I made the conscience decision to have him blind when he was in an accident in the third Halsey book. An older relative of my husband’s spent […]

One page a day. Well, yesterday I managed two pages. I’m stuck on a dance competition. I just don’t know how to write it and my ending thought this morning was “that’s lame” I guess I’ll have to work on it more tomorrow. However, just sitting here thinking about it gives me some ideas. Should Casey and Kelly enter the competition or should they just […]

Kelly and Patrick agree to disgree? Will they come together about Casey? No doubt the fae folk will have their work cut out to keep everything in tune with the universe. When Florence and his two friends arrive to confront Kelly and Casey’s brother, will the two men stand together agian, against Florence? Will Florence provoke a fight? Or will he slink away like the […]

Schools out for the summer? 🙂 Today Moya and Conn chimed in on all the excitement in the church. Frustration eating at the poor fae folk, they are no longer sure about Casey and Kelley discovering the origion of the feud. After all the ridiculous act happened over 100 years earlier. Now the argument has escalated, each generation, becoming more angered than the last. Instead […]

I’m writing!!! Happy Dance Time!!! I know, I’m telling myself it is only a page and a half, but I started. I found myself getting into the story and feeling the characters again. So will Casey find out the truth about the feud? Was it really over such a little thing? Are Casey and Kelly really starr-crossed lovers. Do they have a future? You will […]

I’m going to skip the next mind style for now and move on with the present and goal setting for the supper. Yes! Woohoo….school is out for the summer. I’m going to take a page out of Genene’s book and set aside an hour every day to write my anthology. Nothing will get in the way…I say nothing. Yes, I am determined. If I don’t […]

The next mind style I want to address is Abstract Random. Flakes: In layman’s terms this one word sums up the Abstract Random personality type. Gregore says when they are at their best they are like beautiful snow flakes, each one incredibly unique and together they cover the world with a dazzling art display. they are the emotional, heart centered, sensitive point that establishes rapport […]

New Review: Dakota’s Bride Dakota’s Bride is a remarkable story. I love the description of Dakota; he is a man who oozes charm and lots of chemistry, especially when he and Emma are bonded together. This incredible romance is one I positively fell in love with and is good enough to read again and again. Christine Young sketches characters and landscapes that this reader could […]

Mind Styles to help build character profiles: How well do you know your character? How can you develop conflict just with a character profile? Dr. Anthony Gregore published The Style Delineator in 1982 culminating twelve years of study and research. This resource guide can give writers a way to enhance conflict and humor as well as bring the hero and heroine to a deeper understanding […]

Book Tasting: I just ran across a promotional tool that actually makes some sense. The idea is based on the concept of Wine Tasting or Food Tasting. The author gives the reader a taste of his/her book without ramming it down their throat. Tastes: free reads, a chapter excerpt, a taste of the dialogue, or an exciting taste of a scene. When I was able […]
