Taryn Raye's Writerly Wednesday~ Surfing & NaNo
Yesterday I avoided the computer altogether while I tackled Mt. Dirty Laundry, hemmed a raveled seam on one of my daughter's shirts by hand and read a couple of books about surfing on my my Kindle. Honestly, I think I need the time away from the computer every once in a while to clear my head and find inner balance.
(image from morguefile.com)In regard to my research, I know reading about surfing is far from having experience with it, but as a writer who lives no where near the coast, I'...

Help Taryn Raye Welcome Cat Shaffer @catromance to #TuesdayswithTaryn
Tuesdays with Taryn
Cat Shaffer
What book(s) most influenced you as a writer?
Oh, I ran the gamut from Issac Asimov to Rebecca DuMoire. Living in the country, going to the library was a big deal -- and we could get 10 books each time. Even then I loved stories with strong characters and a feel-good ending.
What book do you read over and over again?
Gone With the Wind -- there's just something about it.

Taryn Raye takes a walk down Memory Lane ~Do Scents Matter?
Saturday I spazzed out. I forgot to schedule my post beforehand in the busyness of hubby's birthday. On Friday, he arrived home early, just as I took his pineapple upside-down cake from the oven and after all, who can resist a warm pineapple upside-down cake? Not my hubby. I caught him sneaking a slice before the kids even got home from school.
Of course, the big surprise to me, was that he'd taken the money my parents sent him and bought me a vase of fresh cut wildflowers, just because. He sa...

Taryn Raye- What You Don't See ~Authors Against Bullying~
There's been a lot in the news and on the net this past week about Amanda Todd, the 15-year-old girl from Canada who struggled with being subjected to bullying and harassment, not just in school but online, the acts of which ultimately led to depression, self-harm and her suicide last week.
Wednesday, I became aware of a movement among my fellow writers- Authors Against Bullying (link takes you to my Page Tab here on the blog with the list of Authors participating or you can click the AAB butt...

#Writerly Wednesday Preparing for NaNoWriMo 2012
Yep, I'm doing it. I announced it a couple of weeks ago, but decided to make it official on the blog seeing as I only have approximately 2 weeks to get my head wrapped around the idea. This shouldn't be intimidating, considering I've done and won 5 NaNos before, but after skipping last year because I was deep in edits before Castaway Hearts came out this past April, I'm feeling a bit nervous about rejoining the ranks of fellow writers on this journey into 30 days of writing insanity.
Well, I h...
