Blog postLook closely at this photo of some fall veggies sitting on my counter to see a metaphor for the writing life:
On the top tomato, do you spy a whitish, fuzzy object? It’s hard to get a good shot of this. Let me have my husband try.
Hmm… maybe a little clearer. Or not…
When I picked that top tomato from our vines sprawling wa-a-a-y out of control, this small caterpillar attracted my attention. Spinning away, in the business of transformation. < -
Blog postNow, here is a fabulous concept – I know many of these authors, and if you need a self-help book for your writing, here you go.
How Writing from the Trenches was Born
By MaryLu Tyndall
Who in their right mind would attempt to create a writing instruction book with nine other authors? It’s hard enough to co-write anything with two different personalities. But nine? Especially because most authors—well, how do I put this gently?—we are an eccentric bunch. It goes with th -
Blog postWe’e been enjoying cool nights and mornings in northern Iowa, with more rain than the usual late August-early September. The morning glories are in their glory, climbing all over our weary clematis vines.
I’ve been remiss in blogging, but definitely not in researching and writing. And this week, I became familiar with a new word: festinate.
This word’s early recorded use was by William Shakespeare. He used it as an adjective pronounced \FESS-tuh-nut\ in King Lear, “Advise the -
Blog postPlease welcome Robin Barefield, a bona fide Alaska wilderness guide and award-winning author. She’s graciously offering one of her books to all of my readers–see below. BUT ALSO, she’s giving away a signed print copy of one of her books to one commenter, so please leave her your thoughts.
Thanks for giving us a taste of your everyday life and your writing, Robin. Take it away…
My novels are set in the wilderness of Kodiak Island, Alaska and feature Dr. Jane Marcus, -
Blog postWelcome to Elaine Stock, and congratulations on your recent writing award!
9 Ways to Crunch Time While Saving Sanity by Elaine Stock
In all honesty, this is a fairly wonderful time for me. I can say this without bragging because I’m praising God for His blessings. On top of Life 101 and the day job, I’ve just won a national writing award and am trying to share the news, I’m about to launch my next novel, Christmas Love Year Round, and after a 30-year wait, I’m ecstatic t -
Blog postBelieve me when I say that laughter up at the front lines is a very precious thing—precious to those grand guys who are giving and taking the awful business that goes on there. . . . There’s a lump the size of Grant’s Tomb in your throat when they come up to you and shake your hand and mumble “Thanks.” Imagine those guys thanking me! Look what they’re doin’ for me. And for you.—Bob Hope, 1944
This week marks no patriotic holiday, but I don’t think it hurts to once again say thanks to -
Blog postLast week I had lunch with another author, and we exchanged horror stories from writing conferences where we presented our proposals to an editor or agent. Marie told me how she burst into tears right in the VIP’s presence when they made a critical comment…not once, but twice.
Of course, this was years ago, when we were just beginning to believe in our work–and boy, could I ever identify. Once, an editor looked over what I had prepared to win her heart to my heroine’s saga. She sat ba -
Blog postMy FB page report for the week says activity is up by 1,450 percent. That sounds great. The trouble is, I have no idea why.
I traveled to Ames this week to meet potential students for my September OLLIE memoir writing class, and had fun chatting with some writers. Ahh…my favorite folks–looking forward to getting to know them and their stories better in a few weeks!
Friday night we saw “Annie” performed by Cedar Summer Stock. All of their 2018 performances featured incredible v -
Blog postAn author I’ve come to know online recently shared this thought as something that’s helped her through life.
She shared this with an authors’ group, and I wrote her to ask if I could use it in my workshops and elsewhere. In addition, I asked Leta to describe how this became her philosophy. Here’s what she said:
“There’s a saying (unfortunately not mine) good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment. That has certainly been a truism in my life, -
Blog postThis summer, we’ve been relishing the double impatiens adorning our front step–our granddaughter picked them out on a spring trip to the garden shop and decided these white buckets sitting in our shed could hang from the stair rails. She was right. (I can’t get this photo to turn around…but you get the idea.)
What great taste! Sweeping the steps this morning, I noticed this small white bud, fallen before its time.
Such promise here…multi-layered petals packed sa
