July Wrap Up

I’m a day late with my monthly wrap up post, but I admit that I am on overload this summer. Having a hard time getting everything done that needs done. So let’s just jump right into the recap of my July.

Books:

I finished reading three novels in July, one general market mystery and two Christian market contemporary romances.

The mystery was the third book in the Chet and Bernie Mystery series. I really enjoy these books, told in the point of view of the detective’s dog, with the caveat that ther...

It’s Rarely Ever Easy

People have a numberof misconceptions about what it means to be a writer.

Brainstorming, Here I Come

I’m so excited. Today is the day I depart for my brainstorming retreat. This is the 12th annual retreat for this special group of writers. I’ve shared photos in the past and no doubt will share photos againfrom our“Plot, Play, & Pray Retreat.”

Whenever I’m asked what is my favorite part of writing, my answer is “Brainstorming!” There is something remarkably energizing about sitting around a table with nine other writers, ideas being tossed around left and right.

I love that we write so many dif...
