The Confederate Flag - Welcome to America

In this day and age, we all should have learned, not to punish one person's wrong against the rest of society as a whole. But sadly, we have not. We look at one person's wrong, and then judge the basis of others off one person's actions. Welcome to America. There are a lot of uneducated people out there about the meaning of the Confederate flag. This, alone, should speak volumes. However, it

Another day

June 23, 2015 It's amazing how some people want something, and when it's standing in front of them, they don't do anything about it. Like, they want a divorce. All they have to do is take care of some things and wahlah! They're no longer married to that person. But, yet, they don't. Why is that? Did they realize they made a mistake and looking for a way to correct it? Do they not want the

Bipolar and life

I am fully aware of my condition.

I am an extreme manic bipolar.

I am not medicated.

Sometimes I can't adhere to life. My swings are worse than the bravest daredevil. No matter how much I try to control them, I can't. No matter how much I try to control my thoughts, I can't. No matter how much I try not to view something as it is, I can't.

And that's alright.

The reason I try not to view

A little more about writing...

No two authors are the same. REMEMBER THAT!
Do not compare yourself to what someone else can do.

I've run across more than one "author's blog" saying pretty much the same thing.

*Is writing a long grueling road?
Yes. Anyone can write a manuscript. It doesn't mean that it's done.
*Do you have to be "born" with the gift?
I don't know. It's hard to say. Some just happen to find it sooner than

I do the impossible. Don't judge. Goals and writers block.

I'm not going to mention any names. I'm sure they're fabulous writers. I don't know, I haven't read their work and don't want to. Not that I don't want to read their work, I just don't read other authors solely on the principle of their thoughts.

With that being said...

Writing is not a one size fits all.

Some authors plot out exactly what they want their characters to do and be.
Not me.

Some

Beware of shady editor and publisher...warning for writers...

http://stantlitore.com/2013/05/26/war... I am forwarding you another blog I ran across. I read the blog and everything seemed valid. I'm not going to copy and paste for the wording is not my own. I'm not going to rewrite the wording for the person who wrote the blog had done a great job in stressing valid points. If and when I come

Bipolar and writing

First thing's first - Bipolar is not a disease. I don't care what anyone says. It's a condition. You are born with it, 'contract' it, whatever. More often than not, you are born with it. There are many types of bipolar. I hate when the medical profession says, "You will have an episode once or twice in your life..." It's like saying, "You're borderline diabetic." Give me a break. You have it or

Annoying things 'writers' say/ask...Part 1

I should be writing, but I have writers block at the moment...and everyone needs some humor (and may be able to relate to some, if not most of these) These have been collected throughout the web with my own personal thoughts. I had to put that novel on the back burner. I've started a new one. What writer is GUILTY of this one? *Raises hand* Everyone has at least one story that was doing well

What writers should never ask/tell another writer... Part 1

So my last blog is what you shouldn't ask/tell a writer, (when you aren't a writer yourself) Now, for the ones if you ARE a writer. Can I come to you if I have any questions? (This pertains to those who want to be writers) A real writer always has their door open. Do NOT go running to them about every little question. For example: Should I have my character do this? My answer: I don't know!

Things never to say to a writer... Part 1

The list is long...
So, lets start with the basics...



Unless you are a fan - Do not ask us when our next book will be published.

If you are a spouse, you should already know the process. And if we really love you, you'll be the first one reading it anyways.

It's perfectly acceptable to say; you're thinking about writing a book.

If you never plan on writing it. The writer may run with a
