New Blog post - Naked Salad

Are You Writing Naked Salad? That's the subject of this week's blog post. It's all about what you put into a salad -- just like characters to a basic plot.

Come by and see what I mean.

Separating Being from Doing

Happy Monday! I've a new blog post up for writers who need to learn now to separate "being" from "doing." In other words, not confusing your feelings and ideas with your character's. Drop in and see what I mean. #MondayBlogs

Also, there are links to Instagram where you can keep up with my weekly pens (#pinyourpen) and some information about book sales and events.

Don't forget to come by and say hi. I like to follow visitors back to their web homes/pages.

Stay warm and remember to give to worthy charities to help out the thousands who are in desperate need.

I remain, Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry

The Legacy of Traditions

Hello readers and writers,

Another Monday and I have a new blog post up - The Legacy of Traditions. What they can do for an author when you include them in your stories (and how you can appreciate yours).

I hope your holidays will be truly happy and healthy. I won't have a blog post for Christmas but be sure to drop by next year (Jan 1) when we do a 2017 in Review.

Until next time,
I remain,

The Positives of Negative Emotions

Happy Monday!

This week I was caught up in all the romance of the royal wedding and so I thought about all the negatives that are associated with...wait...you're wondering, what negatives? Ha, just kidding. But all the beauty put me in mind of all the negatives that make our characters and what benefits there are to negative emotions. My latest blog post discusses with examples.

This week brings Red Nose Day on May 24. Go out and buy a red nose, pen, necklace, bracelet (all are only about a $1) and make a contribution to end Childhood Poverty. It's a great cause and you'll make a child smile.
See my pen for the cause and let's connect.

Have a Facebook live chat coming up on May 26 at 11 am. My author page -- mark your calendar! Going to talk about book conferences.

Keep writing and reading!
