Radio Show Rewind

I was honored to be invited to a talk radio show just the other day. Now, I’ve never done talk radio; in general, I’d much rather be interviewed in print. I write better than I talk. But how could I resist? I like doing new things – okay, sometimes I do. And this is an artsy show where they celebrate creativity. Right up my alley. So, if you go to Creative Mojo with Mark Lipinski and

Ever wonder what I sound like?

Okay, probably not. But if you are odd enough to wonder (and I do like odd people, by the way), I'll be on live internet radio today.

When invited, my urge was to bolt, but then my constant interest in doing new things kicked in and I'm very honored to have been asked.

Mark Lipinski's Creative Mojo broadcasts every Wednesday from 3 to 5 Eastern. I'm scheduled for about 3:20 today. If you can't

3-13-13 or Shades of Art & Porn

I love Pinterest. I really do. As a visual and artsy person, it’s a wonderful place to spend some downtime. Of course, I also use it for promo and have boards to depict each of my books in images. A lighthouse photo I found there last year inspired a new story. They might, however, need humans to watch for inappropriate images instead of bots, which I’m guessing is what they use.

Labels of Gray

I was explaining Chick Lit to someone the other day, or trying to explain it since that genre isn’ t my forté and I haven’t read much of it. To be honest, I started one or two of them and set them aside. But I wanted something light recently to read in between two fairly heavy reads (yes, I have made a habit in the past few years of reading 2-3 books at once – why not, since I write 2-3 books

Prerogative and Creative

It’s a writer’s prerogative to change her mind. Okay, it’s supposed to say a woman’s prerogative, but I think writer fits in there, and since I’m both woman and writer, it entitles me to change my mind as much as I want, right? Well, since I’m an indie writer it does. That’s a large part of why I’m indie. Every time I do a book signing I tell potential readers

My 2012 in Photos and Words

I’m stealing this idea from my friend, TC, The Write Gardener because it was such a great one! What’s better than a nice mix of words and images? Of course, adding music would make it better so expect some links thrown in to complete the ambience. January: David Garrett at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh. Incredible rock and classical violinist David Garrett has been named the

Story and Plot: What’s the Difference?

“Some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity…” Gilda Radner In my last post, I mentioned how literary fiction focuses on the Story but doesn’t have to worry much about plot. Since I was asked what I

Books (and other things) to Talk About

The past couple of nights, I’ve had dreams about writing things – very vivid concrete dreams I was taking as memories and trying to figure out where I was when they happened. Both were about my direction and doubts about whether it’s the right direction. What triggered the memory of the latest dream was the NOOK Pinterest folder titled “Books to Talk About.” Their page has

12-21-12

So we’ve bridged past another doomsday prediction date. Should I not speak so soon since there’s part of a day left? I don’t quite understand the penchant of so many wanting or choosing to believe in any or every one of these things that come and go. What is it in people that makes them continue to look for the last days of earth? Me, I’d rather focus on how much I can get out of every

12-12-12 and other numbers

Water and numbers. Doesn’t it seem as though we live our entire lives around those two things? Of course we need water to survive physically. I suppose numbers help us survive mentally just the same. After all, we are creatures of needed organization. We can’t function without it. Calendars. Rooms. Neighborhoods. States. Pencil holders. Our brains even group those we meet
