I Love My Gramps An #ALS Fundraiser @BonnieEdwards #GemsinAttic
This post is from Gems in the Attic, another blog. Because it's so important, we are sharing it in as many places as we can. I hope you will pass it on. Thanks to Bonnie Edwards for bringing it to us.
As the writer says, most of us know someone who's been affected by this horrible disease. The person I know is Jerry Stan Williams, one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. He shared his story on my blog, Window Over the Sink, in January.
Thanks to everyone for your support. - The Word Wran...

@AuthorKristina's 50 Books Check-In
I haven't been diligent about reporting in on my 50 books challenge this year - probably mostly because I've only made it through 4 books on that list. It isn't that I don't like the books, but I've had several recommendations from friends that pushed past it. Also, that some of the books haven't been available at our local branch library so I'm on a waiting list from a larger city branch.I really do like this challenge, though, and so I'm going to keep going with the list of the 50 mos...

Bird by Bird
My writer friend, Anne Stuart, often quotes Anne Lamott’s story about a time when her little brother was overwhelmed with a science project cataloguing birds that he’d put off. The night before it was due, he said to his father, “How will I ever get this all done?” His dad smiled and answered, “Bird by bird, Son, bird by bird.”Words to live by—life is about to get really busy and I’m already overwhelmed. You see, we’re going to put our house—the one we’ve lived in for 35 years—up for sale. It...

12 Days of Heartwarming Christmas
We're back in Christmas town in 2018! This year there's a wedding and a carousel and all kinds of fun. Our stories are longer and richer. As usual, we've had so much fun going back.
My story, The Dark Horse , started --predictably enough--from the sight of my husband's fingers on the strings of his guitar. Of my grandson in military uniform. Of teenage grandsons whose lives have been nothing like young Connor Michaud's in the story, but whose expressions when they don't know I'm looking can mak...

For the Love of Audiobooks @JanaRichards_
Two more of my books have been made into audiobooks and I’m thrilled with the results.

By the Seat of my Pants
by Ava Cuvay
“I must have a big a$$, because people keep expecting me to pull things out of it.”
I can’t claim that quote… a good friend said that in a moment of work-related frustration. Although I can’t claim the quote, I can certainly relate to it, in the best, self-depreciating sort of way. The older I get, the more I find myself having to fly by the seat of my pants, ill-prepared for what I need or want to do. As if life has become a Second City sort of Improvisational exercise....

It's all in the Details
by Margie Senechal
[image error]
I'm terrible with details, especially in my first drafts which usually include a lot of dialogue and some action directives. I tend to forget the sights, smells, atmosphere. I always notice it in other books and am in awe of those writers.
I was thinking about this and how everywhere we live there are different details that mark our communities with their originality.
For example, in a little over a mile radius of my home there are three Starbucks and t...
