Real Life Inspirations in Tempting Friendship
by Patricia Josephine
When it comes to my writing, I enjoy slipping little details from my real life into the story. It may be a name for a character mentioned in passing or somewhere the main character went that I’ve been to. They’re like little Easter eggs that people in my life may recognize.

Organization Tip: Business Cards #AuthorToolBoxBlogHop
#AuthorToolBoxBlogHopJoin HERE
When you go to a book event, conference, or do any sort of networking, I bet you come away with a lot of business cards. Or…if you do it right you should. Why do I say that? Because networking is all about introducing yourself to other authors and industry professionals, giving your business card to them, and collecting their cards in return. You never know when you might need to recall a person’s name who you met at an event or if you may need to contact...

Bactine for Writer's Depression - Part 1 (IWSG)
The Insecure Writer's Support Group is a safe place for insecure writers of all kinds.Sign up here: Insecure Writer’s Support Group
Ever since I was a teen I’ve suffered from depression. It comes and goes but is never far away. Even during my best moments, it’s a teeny-tiny shadow in the distance. This does not make me a negative person during my best moments, though. Far from it. But depression never quite dissolves, even when you’ve been nothing but happy and content.

Organization Tip: Bullet Journals #AuthorToolBoxBlogHop
#AuthorToolBoxBlogHopJoin HERE
I love journals, and when I found out about the concept of a bullet journal, I was thrilled because it combines journaling and lists, two things I use to stay organized.
There are bullet journals with actual dots scattered across the pages. The dots are like the lines on lined pages; you write between the dotted lines. But you don’t need an actual bullet journal, any journal will do.
There are several things you can do in your bullet...

DOCTOR MOM BLOG HOP
Prompt: Share a favorite memory you have of your mom. Or just share a picture of your mom that you cherish. Or you can do both!
My mom and me. We were...and are...so much alike.
My mom is the author of Doctor Mom. I grew up watching her write these children's stories, featuring Gregory Green and Sammy, when I was in Kindergarten. She'd sit at our dining room table with her typewriter, a stack of papers, pencils, colored pencils, and laminating paper. That was where she'd...
