Just a Little Music

Y'all know I'm in the middle of release month - those are all three of my Billionaire Cowboy covers over there...aren't they just....happy sigh?

I love them all for a lot of different reasons, but in each of them I can see just a little of the musical theme of the books - and no, none of these books are musician related. But, as y'all also know, music plays a part in all my books through playlists.

Post-draft, the books' playlists are filled with songs that remind me of the hero and heroine, th...

Book Promotion

Well, here I am again, and today, I want to talk about book promotion. I confess I'm terrible at promoting my own books. Sad for me because, as an Indie Author, I'm the only one who can promote my books. Yes, my fellow authors are always great about reposting my "commercials" on Facebook and Twitter, which is pretty much the extent of my social media presence. I really appreciate it when they do that and I love returning the favor. But the bottom line is I'm the one who has to figure out whic...

Life Gets In the Way

Nan here. Now, I know it's Monday and Monday is Liz's day to blog, but sometimes, real life gets in the way of our life here in the round pen. Liz is handling some other things today, so I'm pinch-hitting, which may mean you'll get a double dose of Nan this week. Y'all will just have to bear up.

The big news at my house is I've been writing today. Really. Seriously working on Book 4 of the Women of Willow Bay. I confess it's been a while since I've worked on it beyond jotting down ideas and m...

Spinning Plates and Shiny Objects

I got nothing this week.

I’m not sure I even have interesting random thoughts, like the other gals have when they have an “off” week ;-)  I feel like the plate spinner these days. You know, the guy who would balance a plate atop a skinny rod and spin it. Then he’d add another spinning plate on another rod. And another. Until he had several spinning plates. He would have to run frantically between them, giving them a little bit of a push to keep spinning, until it was too much, too crazy...

Seeking Accountability

by Margie Senechal

I think I've discovered why I'm not as productive of a writer as I'd like to be. Of course, this could just be another excuse on my path to not finishing a Work-in-process. 


I have too many stories rambling around in my head. I want to write them all but instead, I write nothing.

So, to that end, I came up with a plan and created a blog--www.wishwryting.blogspot.com--to chronicle my process. But, then it occurred to me that if nobody reads that blog, I really don't have...

Imprinting the Moment

Yesterday, Liz wrote so eloquently about how much she loved to write and how it seems as though every situation--good or bad--gets filtered through her inner writer. She wondered if it was a bad thing that, even when she is in the midst of chaos and crisis, sickness and grief,  the writer is still creating--inventing scenes, conversations, and scenarios. I've thought it about it all day because I truly recognized myself in her post (that kindred spirit thing we share!), and I've been try...

The waiting room

by Liz Flaherty

My God, I love to write. I love to feel what writing makes me feel. I am so blessed that I get to have
those feelings. And sometimes I wish I didn't have them.

On opposite ends of the state, two people I love are in hospitals right now. For privacy's sake, I'm not going into any kind of detail, but being in those hospitals, looking around the way writers do, gave me a through-the-window look at things I don't know how to describe.

In a room is a patient who is very old. She is so...

Finding my Happy Place

So, it was my suggestion for this week to talk about what feeds our spirit to keep writing. Which was silly of me to suggest, since I don’t have a good grasp of what it is that fills my own bucket and gets the creative juices flowing. So, this assignment was a real soul-searcher for me.
I think what feeds my spirit is affected by my mood swings, the time of the month, the phases of the moon, planetary alignment, etc. And unfortunately, I’m in a bit of a downturn at the moment for no particula...

Getting Through The Cluttered Mind

by Margie Senechal

This meme pretty much sums up my process. Lots of thinking that sometimes leads to typing.

I don't know if I have figured out what feeds my muse the best. IF I did, I might have more written.

Like everyone else, I read, watch television and movies, eat...but, what's the winning ticket?

The last few weeks, I've been feeling as if I'm surrounded in chaos. My furniture, circa the 90's or older--is too big, my office is too stuffed with stuff--cue George Carlin here, and don't eve...
