A Book about My Life...?

...awful sentimental regarding Love and Art...

         I watched The Wizard of Oz twice this weekend—it was the high school drama club’s spring production. Skyler, the oldest of my grandsons, was the Scarecrow. He is a senior and this was his last performance, so even though he made me laugh, the laughter was being pushed out by tears. How did he get to be eighteen and over six feet tall and smart and funny and talented? Skyler Wilson

#WriterWednesday: Jill Kemerer!

Hiya, WordWrangler readers! We're excited to welcome Jill Kemerer to the blog today; Jill is a new author with Harlequin's Love Inspired line. She's going to tell us about the writing rules we should break. BREAK THE RULES?!?!? Our minds are boggled! Jill, take it away!

Years ago after my first book was rejected, I scoured blogs, learned how to write a synopsis and took every piece of advice to heart. I also studied over thirty books on the craft of writing. Imagine my surprise when I continue...

Piece By Piece

I found myself getting hung up by a name. A name! I know my hero’s name is Hutch. And that its short for Hutchinson. But is it his first, middle, or last name?? And seeing as he opens the second chapter as a teacher, I kind of needed to know, right?

#WriterWednesday: Things on Kristina's Desk...Again

It's been a while since I did one of these posts...and it's also been a while since I cleaned off my desk so. You know. Two birds. Here we go, cleaning off my desk and telling you guys what I find buried in the depths.

A sheet of Jamberry Nail Wraps (my new addiction). What's weird about this is the sheet is filled with only the tiny bits of wraps left over after cutting/filing the excess. Why do I keep this stuff? *trashes*

A band-aid. Still in its wrapper, thank goodness, or I might scare you...
