On being different....
The theme this month is Marching to the Beat of a Different Drummer.
If they ever write a biography starring me, that's definitely the title. With the subtitle Shit Happens!
For as long as I can remember - and that's pretty far back - I haven't been like anyone else in my family. Let me explain...
My family members smoke and drank. Often. To excess, many times. I have never had a cigarette

The Dangers of Drummers
by M. L. Buchman
This month's suggested topic is "Marching to a Different Drummer."
As a writer, I've found this to be a major problem. For me there are always Twelve drummers drumming (at the minimum). Anyone who has followed my writing career can attest to that. In fact, if you count novel series separate from short story series, I've written 32 different series. Some of those are still

A Drummer of a Different Sort
by Courtney Pierce
Flawed characters are infinitely more interesting than those who always
say and do the right things. Personally, I love to create protagonists with issues that get in the way,
whether they be irrational fears, physical challenges, or emotional complexes. Great stories incorporate protagonists and antagonists who must stumble past their flaws to get out of trouble.

Sex and Romance: Synchronicity or Warfare? by Kim Olver
A common conflict in many relationships is a matter of priority: one person tends to prioritize sex, and the other favors romance. Of course, people generally like both, but if forced to choose one or the other, would you side with your partner? In my work with couples, I find the sex and romance department is usually out of balance.
In the beginning of a relationship, everything is new,

Something Different - Zombies Revisited
Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of SciFi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions. Having struggled with this month's topic, I decided to revisit an old post with a similar (ish) theme - stepping outside my comfort zone. The 'supernatural' tag in my writer bio might make my next statement sound a contradiction. I am NOT a fan of scary books/films. While my younger sister would happily fall

A one of a kind of love
Hey Hey everyone! Welcome :-)
I hope everyone is enjoy the 'month' of love... so of course, I HAVE to blog about love. The thing about this is that love doesn't look the same for everybody.
For example some people love Brussels spouts... I'm not sure why but they do.
Of course everybody loves doughnuts... if you don't then I question if you are human just saying :-)

Beating My Own Drum
If there's a different way to do something, that's usually the way I'll choose. In hindsight I think this stems from having a dressmaker for a mother. Back in my days at high school girls were taught sewing (while the boys did woodwork) and while I made the required items (a gingham table cloth, an apron, a skirt), mine were always a bit different to everyone elses because mum would help me

Creative Lawnmowing...Musings on a Summer Day ...by Delsora Lowe
Musings
on a summer day, you say? But it’s February.
Despite
the snow on the ground and the chill of winter in the air, I can still dream of
the summer to come. Gardening. Mowing the lawn. Long walks without wearing eighteen
layers. And summer may mean I am finished with book edits.
Frosty February

Relationships, Romance, and the Real World by Maggie Lynch
Maggie Lynch
I’ve been a
romance writer for more than three decades. I’ve been a published romance
novelist since 2010. I am one of those writers who primarily “write what I
know” with names changed to protect both the innocent and the guilty. For the
most part, my novels are a reflection of my life, the lives of my siblings and
their romantic entanglements, and that of my extended family—
