If I am struggling with a particular scene or character, I will move to researching a historical event or term that I need for an upcoming scene or dialogue so that I don't lose time on my project completely. Usually with a short break and with accomplishing other aspects of my project(s), I am able to continue writing within a day. I find this motivates me more than leaving the project altogether. (less)

I would tell my younger writing self to definitely schedule in 1 hour of writing per night in order to stay focused on the craft even during busy times. I would also encourage her to be brave and always write her truth, even if it's difficult.(less)

“As the bus pulled away from the curb, James raised his hand in a small wave; he was still standing there when we reached the end of the street, like a beacon on a lighthouse warning tall ships to be careful in the fog.”
J.G. MacLeod, Abalone

“Indeed,' Grady said, his eyes twinkling, 'she would make a good regiment captain.'
'Do not speak about me as if I am not here!' I called out, but another contraction began and I moaned loudly.
'Push, Ellen,' Grady told me, 'pretend you are Aileen – pretend this is easy…'
I started to sob. 'I cannot do it!' I moaned, 'I have to stop; I cannot go on for one more second!' My head slumped to the side and tears rolled down my cheeks....
'You are Ellen Montagu,' Grady stated loudly, 'you can do anything! Now push!”
J.G. MacLeod, Two Paths

“I was not satisfied; I needed speed – wind in my hair. 'Faster Ahern,' I commanded, digging my heels into his sides. In an instant, he sprung forward and I gripped the reins for dear life. He catapulted ahead so fast that he was soon approaching the wooden fence. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth, but Ahern instinctively leapt right over the fence and continued at full speed. I whooped loudly and opened my eyes. The two of us were speeding across the open pasture now; I could hardly see in front of me as the wind blew into my sensitive eyes. I leaned forward as I had learned from Cormac and together Ahern and I became aerodynamic.”
J.G. MacLeod, Two Paths

“As the bus pulled away from the curb, James raised his hand in a small wave; he was still standing there when we reached the end of the street, like a beacon on a lighthouse warning tall ships to be careful in the fog.”
J.G. MacLeod, Abalone

“I know," I said, "but there's something about James that draws me in. I can't explain it." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well, I can," Jan said with frustration, "it's called abuse."
I was shocked. "What?" I managed to say.
"You heard me," Jan replied. "James controls everything you do. He says jump and you ask how high.”
J.G. MacLeod, Abalone

“They were just being friendly," I said more softly, reaching out to touch James on the arm. I suddenly found myself lying on my side on the floor and realized in shock that James had shoved me - hard. He was looking down at me, his teeth gritted and his eyes flashing.”
J.G. MacLeod, Abalone

“I had come down on the same arm that James had grabbed in the car and it throbbed. I pulled off my sweater to look at it in the mirror and winced when I noticed finger marks on my forearm and a large purple bruise already forming on my elbow; I could only imagine what it would look like tomorrow when it really started to turn colour.”
J.G. MacLeod, Abalone

“Their door was open. My mother was kneeling on the floor, her body racked with uncontrollable sobbing. There was a broken glass on the floor beside her. My father was standing at the far end of the room with his back to the doorway. Both of his hands were pressed against the wall and his head was bent. When I crossed the threshold he turned and scowled. "Go back to bed, Ellen," he commanded.”
J.G. MacLeod, Lady Ellen
