On Creativity
I use Pinterest a lot. Still. I have 60 public boards and several private boards. I love the different things I find, the visual inspiration. The things that are most repinned are food. I'd like it if other things got equal representation, but food seems to be...
10K Weekends For Writers – Week 5
I don't know about y'all, but I need A LOT of words this weekend. I need ass in the chair, fingers on keys, and words pouring out of my eyeballs onto the screen. It's week 5 of 10K Weekends For Writers and week 4 was a pathetic effort on my part. I got less words last...
Where Is That Damn Village?
Oh, right. I don't have one. That was discussed back at the beginning of January in my list post. I write a paranormal book, and thankfully, people come out of the woodwork to pimp that. Put out a contemporary and it's like crickets. That's not good for sales. Not in...
Temptation Tuesday – Call Me…
So, I've been writing this story on and off for a while... It's a rough draft, so, please excuse any typos or grammar errors. The subject matter is off-putting to a lot of people and while I understand that, well, you don't have to read it. I, however, am fascinated...
Music Monday – Lies of the Beautiful People
"If you think real beauty's on the outside, well that's a far cry from the truth..."
Sunday Speeds
It's the last Sunday in January. I've been sick. I've finished a book that tore my heart out. I've walked the equivalent of a 5K and a 10K. I've made some decisions and loose plans for my writing this year. I've gone to a concert. Read a couple of books. Started a...
Lissa, Lissa, Lissa. Where did this come from???
The title of this post was the first line of an email I received and while Shirley likely didn't and doesn't expect an answer, I'm going to give one anyway. It came from me. It came from deep down inside me. Claire is me and I am Claire. At least, parts of me are. At...
10K Weekends For Writers – Week 4
It's that time again and y'all I've got a crapton of words to get down this weekend. 10K minimum! Who's with me? If you're new to this, all you need to do is sign up with the Linky at the bottom of the post, then start writing! That's it! Oh, and we talk on social...
Music Monday – Breaking Benjamin
I've posted this one before and I'm just going to post it again because I'm going to see them tonight. I will lose some valuable work time, but I think the concert is going to be more valuable to my brain function than anything else, especially, staying in...
Author Friday – Pauline Allan
The cover just is... Well, HOT, y'all. Just HOT! Pauline is a friend of mine and she's about to make her mark in self-publishing writing the books SHE wants to write. You're going to love her! She's here to share a little with us about what her inspiration for her...
