I thought I would blog a couple of days with storm posts. If you could incorporate this photo into a story, how would you do it? Is the storm a curse or a blessing? If your hero/heroine were in […]

I would have been high-tailing it out of the area if I had any idea this would happen. I know some of you live in parts of the country where lightning is this explosive. Liquid Lightning–is that anything like “grease […]

My first romance and the one that started my career in writing was Pirates Pleasure by Heather Graham. There is something so seemingly romantic about a good gentlemanly alpha pirate. Does […]

I’ve finished my April Fools Anthology to be published the April 1, 2012. It has never taken me as long to write a book as it has this one. I think it was because the characters were not talking to […]

When I saw this photo I thought of my friend who loves to write stories with elves, fairies, shape shifters and oh so many more delightful creatures. I see a story in this picture and isn’t even about the wee folk. This home could be a hut in the 12th century […]

Source: youtube.com via Aimee on Pinterest I learned something new today. I found out what a plotting bunny was–never heard the term before. So, you ask, how or when did I hear it? My son who is doing interviews for his first book Blood Veins. As it turned out I asked some of the writers loops and discovered the answer which I passed on to […]

Source: photosfan.com via Chris on Pinterest I love this pictures. I wish the caption told where it was taken but then it doesn’t really matter. The sidewalk is beautiful, romantic, a bit lonely but very Christmas. One could use this picture to begin a story that could be set anywhere. Oh my but I have many different scenarios for this scene. What is the conflict? […]

Source: images.search.yahoo.com via Chris on Pinterest Great day today, my son drove north from Eugene with his baby girl to help pick out a tree. Everyone save Relis and Kari were here for the expedition. I stayed home, (I hate the cold) and cleaned house so we could put the tree up. We spent the afternoon putting on lights and decorating the tree. It isn’t […]

Source: google.co.uk via Emma on Pinterest Shopping at Bridgeport, watching Ana laugh and enjoy life so much. Freezing in the shade and the sun. My youngest daughter is here from New York City. Where do you think it was coldest? Oregon of course. It was 30 degrees in Salem and can you believe it? a heat wave in NY 50 degrees today. I cannot figure […]

Source: google.com via Chris on Pinterest Sometimes I feel as if I’m going in circles. So many Christmas things to take care of I don’t know what to do first. If I were an organized person, I would make a list and I most likely would accomplish everything I need to do. But I’m not organized. Instead, I fly by the seat of my pants. […]
