Creamy Cranberry Dijon Dipping Sauce — Cupcakes & Kale Chips

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

  I haven’t tried this, but when I saw it I knew it would have to be on my Toodle-Do list on Pinterest (a play on words that really means To-Do). I am not a fan of cranberry sauce, but I appreciate the tang of a spread on a sandwich that isn’t made up completely […]

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

Warning, I don’t do pie crusts. Ev-uh! So my pie crusts are always store bought. Sorry, no one does better pie crusts than Pillsbury, right? The filling is a cinch to make, even using my supply of frozen blackberries from this summers harvest. Here’s the scoop: 3-4 cups blackberries, frozen is fine 1 cup of […]

The Characteristics of Good Writing

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

How important is it for a writer to be able to discern the difference between good writing and bad writing? Pretty important, if you ask me. I know some writers aren’t concerned with quality. In today’s do-it-yourself and get-it-done-fast world, quality plays second fiddle to quantity. Who cares if your books are full of typos, […]

How Can I Help My Shy Child?

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

S. Dionne Says: I  especially loved the part in this article where it explains that a “shy” child might just be more comfortable with a few friends and deeper relationships than “the more the merrier” mentality of an extroverted parent. So true!   When a child is naturally reticent, it is easy to misunderstand him.   […]

Maple Pumpkin Cheesecake Minis

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

I made this recipe many years ago (before all the moving around) and lost the original recipe. Thankfully, I found it again on, where else? Pinterest! I’ll admit, it does seem different than the original. I thought for sure the original had heavy cream in the topping. . . Oh well. My main goal was […]

40 Tips for Polishing Your Manuscript by Author Anita Higman

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

Robert Louis Stevenson said, “There is but one art, to omit.” He obviously appreciated the power of polish. I call polishing powerful, because it has the ability to transform a rough draft into something remarkable—something salable. After I complete a rough draft I go over it quite a few times, checking for problems, large and […]

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

College…a time of big dreams, of crushed dreams, of readjusted dreams, of surprising dreams.

Your Characters Aren’t Your Children

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

For writers, characters can be very personal creations. Despite being taken from the ether, we can become attached to them, especially if we’ve been working on their story for years. With all the time and effort put into crafting their fictional lives, it’s understandable that we become overly sympathetic to them. We practically treat them […]
