Blog postEveryone has their favorite movie about love or their favorite action movie or comic book movie franchise. Ha! Just kidding with the last one. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been kicking DC’s box office butt for years now without breaking a sweat.
As an author, I put together a list of my favorite movies about writing and/or writers. The variety of types of writers in movies surprised me.
Bridget Jones’s Diary
(memoir)
As a New Year’s Resolution, 32-year o -
Blog postThis month marks the anniversary of when I first published Hound Dog Confidential. Oh my, how time zooms by and how things have changed.
Here are a few things I’ve learned thus far:
1. Every step in the publishing process will take longer than expected. As early visitors of my website can attest, I originally thought I Hound Dog Confidential would be published in 2016.
2. Enjoy the moments. You onl -

Blog postA Boy and His Dad By Edgar Guest, 1881 – 1959
A boy and his dad on a fishing-trip—
There is a glorious fellowship!
Father and son and the open sky
And the white clouds lazily drifting by,
And the laughing stream as it runs along
With the clicking reel like a martial song,
And the father teaching the youngster gay
How to land a fish in the sportsman’s way.
I fancy I hear them talking there -
Blog postLoving something doesn’t make it easy to do. I don’t know about you, but there are a million things that want to steal my writing time. These are the worst offenders for writers:
Social Media. It is like sweet cocaine, feeding the human need for shiny new things and our fears of missing out. This is the one distraction that I got a handle on. While you don’t have to cut social media from your life, limit your time spent to twenty minutes per day. That will satisfy your cravings withou -
Blog postWith Child By Genevieve Taggard, 1894 – 1948
Now I am slow and placid, fond of sun,
Like a sleek beast, or a worn one:
No slim and languid girl – not glad
With the windy trip I once had,
But velvet-footed, musing of my own,
Torpid, mellow, stupid as a stone.
You cleft me with your beauty’s pulse, and now
Your pulse has taken body. Care not how
The old grace goes, how heavy I am grown,

Blog postIn high school, when other kids hung out in the cafeteria for lunch, I wouldn’t go eat. I’d rush to the library, find my favorite desk and continue reading the novel I’d started the night before. Books were my favorite types of gifts growing up and they still are today, so bookworms hold a special place in my heart. Here’s a list of my favorite fictional bookworms.
Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The library scene says it all.
Lisa Simpson from The Simpsons. She may -
Blog postFirst quarter was both productive and a colossal failure. January was great. I wrote a lot for my manuscript, then a house fell on me in February. I tried to fight my emotions by working on a short story and reading. A lot of reading. But, I’m still not in full swing with finishing the final book in the Primordial Realms series. Here’s the quarterly recap.

Blog postA blog post filled with quotes is a sign that a blogger has run out of ideas and is desperate for content. So… um… enjoy these little known writing quotes.
“Don’t reinvent the wheel when a perfectly good cliché can beat a dead horse.”
“Writing is like ripping open your chest and letting your soul fall on the floor to get stepped on repeatedly.”
“Onomatopoeia adds the boom, poof, swoosh to writing.”
“Memoirs are all fun and freedom until a family member s -
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.
