Blog postWoo Hoo! You’ve finished the first draft of your future Amazon top one million books. You might think the next step is to send that gem to an editor for a spit polish, but you’d be wrong, so very wrong. Editors aren’t miracle workers. They can’t refine a rough draft and most first drafts are hot messes. So, back that flaming mass of words up because the fun has just begun. Here’s what to do after typing “The End” on a first draft.
Set your story aside for a few days or even a month or -

Blog postI Want to Die While You Love Me By Georgia Douglas Johnson, 1880 – 1966
I want to die while you love me,
While yet you hold me fair,
While laughter lies upon my lips
And lights are in my hair.
I want to die while you love me,
And bear to that still bed,
Your kisses turbulent, unspent
To warm me when I’m dead.
I want to die while you love me
Oh, who would care to live < -
Blog postSlumps happen to all creative people. One minute you can’t get your ideas out fast enough and you’re producing at a high level, then the next your mind is a wasteland and you’re binge watching shows you’ve seen a hundred times on Netflix. Writing slumps are normal. They can occur after a long period of writing or during a difficult period in your life. Here are a few tips to motivate you back to being creative again.

Blog postWhen I started this blog in July 2016, I didn’t think I would be able to keep it up. At about six months in, I was running out of blog ideas and disenchanted with the whole blogging experience. A little over two years later and I’m still blogging more than I thought I would be. Dropping the frequency of my posts from once a week to once a month is a better pace for me to handle. Here is hoping 2019 is better than last year.
2019 Writing Goals Write five flash fiction -
Blog post2018 had more good things than bad. Even though I didn’t hit all of my goals, I’m happy in general with the year.
2018 Writing Goals Review
Write three days per week at a minimum. RESULT: This is a 70/30. Most of the year I wrote at least three days per week, sometimes more, but I wasn’t consistent.
Read more. RESULT: I definitely read more, so I count this as a win. I still need to better the quality of my reading list. In 3rd and 4th quarters -
Blog postFourth quarter came and went and was filled with highs, lows, disappointment, illness, and procrastination.
One of the lows was my reading list. I read and/or did not finish so many terrible books. There wasn’t a five star book in the lot. Below are the ones worth mentioning.
Reading Goals:

Blog postThe Oxen By Thomas Hardy, 1840 – 1928
Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock.
“Now they are all on their knees,”
An elder said as we sat in a flock
By the embers in hearthside ease.
We pictured the meek mild creatures where
They dwelt in their strawy pen,
Nor did it occur to one of us there
To doubt they were kneeling then.
So fair a fancy few would weave
In these years! Yet, I feel,
If someone said on Christmas Eve,

Blog postSheryl’s cellphone buzzed and almost caused her to drop her latest batch of super juice. Carefully, she placed the canister with the thick, red liquid on the counter, and then she checked her notifications. The newsfeed highlighted another article about the governor’s star-studded fundraising ball this weekend. It shared behind-the-scene photos of Viva Hotel’s kitchen, and an interview with the celebrity chef who had crafted the menu.
Sheryl scanned the paragraphs, hunting for informa -
Blog postThanksgiving By Edgar Guest, 1881 – 1959
Gettin’ together to smile an’ rejoice,
An’ eatin’ an’ laughin’ with folks of your choice;
An’ kissin’ the girls an’ declarin’ that they
Are growin’ more beautiful day after day;
Chattin’ an’ braggin’ a bit with the men,
Buildin’ the old family circle again;
Livin’ the wholesome an’ old-fashioned cheer,
Just for awhile at the end of the year.
Greetings
