WIP Into Shape

My current WIP is in the final editing stages.  I hope.  I’m up to the sixth draft but I think there are another two on the way.
I am ridding the story of the unnecessary ‘he said, she said, he watched, she saw’ etc, hoping for a better flow…

Big Words

I was perusing a community forum recently when I read a fellow independent author ask why someone gave him a one-star review.  It seems the person reviewing his book was angry over his use of big words.  Yes, you read that correctly.  The…

Love: No Definition Necessary



My husband and I have affectionately nicknamed our five-year-old son “quiz master”.  Dinner, car rides and quite moments are now his opportunity to ask us a variety of questions, rapid fire and nonstop.  I’d always heard that children enter a phase where every statement is followed by the question “why”.  However, I didn’t know there would also but a “who, what, when, where, how and to what extent.



His questions range from the hilarious to the absurd to the profound.  Among…

Painting Pictures

Here's a picture of Josh Holloway.  I love the ruggedness of the setting, and the anguish that's conveyed on his face.  It makes you wonder what he's thinking.  Is he in total despair or is he planning something?
For writers it is harder to express a character's emotion.  We have to use words to paint the…

THE WORD out of context to the world of believers it was written for.

Isaiah 29:13

The Master said:

   “These people make a big show of saying the right thing,

   but their hearts aren't in it.

Because they act like they're worshiping me

   but don't mean it,

I'm going to step in and shock them awake,

   astonish them, stand them on their ears.

The wise ones who had it all figured out

   will be exposed as fools.

The smart people who thought they knew everything

   will turn out to know…

Words Spoken, Words Written

I wish I spoke well...and I'm not referring to the residual effects of tongue cancer on my ability to speak clearly enough so that other people can always understand me. I mean I wish I were able to put my thoughts together quickly enough to enable me to instantly say what I wanted to say, rather than saying something…

Words are critically important for readers, writers, and publishers.

Words are the substance of knowledge, the means of communication, and one of the most mysterious fashionings of humans.

Words or Deeds ~ Which One Tells You More About A Person?

Most writers have heard the maxim, “Show Don’t Tell”.  And, even though action in a book can keep most readers turning pages, I find it oh, so ironic that those actions are being conveyed with words :-)

Language is strange! And strange means “foreign”. And, a blog written by someone who’s first language isn’t English prompted me to write this post.

Before I talk about that, I want to explore this Words/Deeds issue.

I’ll leave…

Can't find the right word? This will help!

As someone who loves words, and also loves to find just the right one, this thesaurus is a dream come true. It is way, way beyond a regular thesaurus that we're probably all used to. Instead you get much more interesting choices, with actual examples of how the words are used. (So they're not invented words; they're real, live ones!) It's very interesting and informative -- and actually entertaining to read.) And I found this review of it. (I'm giving… Continue

Seriously - Who Moved My Cheese?

A few years ago my company merged with another and we were all assigned as part of out yearly reviews to the read the book, 'Who Moved My Cheese?" by Dr. Spencer Johnson. It is a dialog that deals with how we as individual deal with change. Dramatic or subtle we all react differently.


So in the beginning of the book you are thinking that you deal with change fine, no problem. Life is full of change, how would it effect me or the way I deal with…

Never say never...

Oh god...guess I should come clean. What they say about never say never is true. I said there were two things you would never see in my books and now I have to eat my words. My first erotic romance has been picked up by a publisher and will be out sometime later this year. Anyone recall what those two things are?



They are the F-word and the…

Word Nerd Funnies

I'm a self-confessed word nerd.

Many of my friends are word nerds as well.

In fact, I dare say that the population of word nerds is much bigger than most people realize.

I stumbled across this, and being the word nerd that I am, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thought I would pass on the mirth!!!
