Friends - Writing vs Non-Writing

I have two distinctive sets of friends -  Writer and Non-Writers.
The writer friends are either published (NY, Print or Epubbed), seeking publication, editors or reviewers. Now my non-writer friends most don’t know I write and if they do they don’t know my pen name or what I write.  So they don’t necessarily understand when I […]

Making Time to Write

Jennifer Crusie has been quoted as saying:
Don’t look down.
Which essentially means to just write the story and don’t over edit yourself when you’re writing the first draft. It can be taken as a variation of BICHOK - Butt In Chair, Hands on Keyboard (for the non-writers reading this).
Nora Roberts has been quoted as saying:
You can’t edit a […]

Randomness

You are very evil. You are fairly practical in your evil deeds and you probably wouldn’t do anything illegal. You are more inclined to not do anything when you see that something bad is about to happen. Think Seinfeld.

Thursday 13 - 150th Edition - Non Writing Friends

Thirteen Things My Non-Writer Friends no longer find strange…

2. Muttering strange words and phrases about things normal people shouldn’t think about. Hmm… I wonder how long this poison would take to act. Or such things as… how many ways are there to […]

Overthinking

I’ve been thinking a lot about genre’s and why I started writing, want to write, what’s my motivation and other such topics.
Lately I’ve been struggling with my writing. Don’t get me wrong. I love to write. I’ve tried giving up (okay so it’s really quitting) but I just can’t. It’s apart of me, in my […]

I did not forget

Happy 50th birthday to his royal purple badness - the sexy, ultra talented, amazing, musical genius - Prince.

He was born Prince Rogers Nelson but is known worldwide simply as Prince. In 2004, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Some of his lyrics -
My name is Prince and I am funky
My name […]

400 Words on Want

Here is my contest entry that finaled. It didn’t win. Though it did get some votes (maybe if I pimped myself more, asked for votes then it would have been higher - not that that’s what happened - not implying anything.)
She spotted him immediately when she entered, seated at the bar. Renaldo was surrounded by […]

Keys to Success

Determination, perseverance, longevity and patience.
These are some of the qualities that were mentioned to me when I asked the elders in my families what they thought the keys to success are.
I have a website, blog, Myspace, Bebo, Yahoo group, Shelfari and Good Reads account. I recently started using my twitter account though I’ve had […]

I’ve been…

a bad blogger but I have been keeping busy. And writing.
And this weekend I’m going to have to transcribe all the notes and scenes I’ve spoken into my mini recorder.
In the meantime you can keep up with me on twitter.
