Why Remember Washington's Birthday?

This week's blog is why we should remember Washington's Birthday. There are lots of reasons to have a holiday but remembering Washington is worth our time, despite his faults.

Dark Love for Richer Stories

Happy Monday writers and readers,

Today's blog offering is "Dark Love for Richer Stories." For Valentine's Day, try writing dark love. Like various intensities of dark chocolate, experiment with different kinds of less romantic love. Break stereotypes; be original. Try fresh takes on love.

Also, in honor of Valentine's day and going romantic, my #pinyourpen is a fun little lipstick pen. Looks like glam, but is a sweet pocket pen. Check me out.

Wishing you all a chocolately Valentine Day.

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).

http://www.sherryrentschler.com/the-l...

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,

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

http://www.sherryrentschler.com/separ...

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

Gratitude Beyond Thanksgiving

Another Monday, readers!
Hope you're prepared and looking forward to the upcoming holiday.

Are you grateful for your blessings? What about when the day is over or the family goes home?

Let me show you why it's important to appreciate the small things all the time.
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/grati...

Plus! I have some wonderful news to share -- my book, Time and Blood, achieved Best Seller status on Amazon. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I am overwhelmed and very grateful.

Stop by the blog and say hi, and please have a Happy Thanksgiving to our US friends.

Yours Between the Lines,

Rowing Thru the NaNo Swamp

Good Monday morning!
New blog post is up: Rowing thru the NaNoWriMo Swamp.
You've probably hit the middle of your noveling with #nanowrimo2017 and now you're drifting, or worse, you're lost. I can help courtesy of the great Jim Butcher and the lesson I learned from him. Now I will share my secret with you. #MondayBlogs #amwriting #lessonslearned
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/rowin...

I've also posted a new pen for #pinyourpen on Instagram. I do this every Monday with fun novelty pens and regular pens, just to enjoy something different for the week. Tune in to see what's up this week.
