Actions Speak Louder (in) Words
One thing I’ve noticed in particular about my writing and the WIP I’m slowly but surely making headway on is that I tend to ignore (or perhaps just don’t realize) certain aspects while feeling confident about other areas and second-nature about … Continue reading

Q & A for Character Development
Do you take the time prior to actually writing your novels to study the characters and perhaps create flow and personality charts dedicated to the story TO BE written? Not me. Knowing I just dive right in and type makes … Continue reading

Strong Female Lead
(This is long, and I don’t care.) Today is Sunday, which means philisophical or otherwise conversation with my baby girl, Midge. She’ll be 23 in another month, but she’ll always be my baby. Anyway, she’s extremely artistic and loves to … Continue reading
