#WriteFridays the 19th
I’m sneaking on to post a quick writing exercise, which I realize will not only be the 19th #WriteFridays exercise, but will also be posted on the 19th. Small things like that make me happy. Yes, I’m a dork. Anyway, this will be the last one before I take a few weeks’ hiatus to go…

#WriteFridays the 18th!
This week I started to formally hang out my shingle as a writing coach, and one of the ladies from my critique group took me up on it. We met up, and after discussing the issue that she specifically had questions about, she mentioned that sometimes it was hard to start writing without worrying about…

Work in Progress … Exercise in POV
Last week’s #WriteFriday exercise was a prompt that had to do with perspective and point of view. For my own stab at it, I decided to get into the head of my antagonist, Dr. Gratusczak, from the Rick Keller novels. I say novels, but really it’s one novel, Cold Run, and a whole bunch of…

Alternate creativities…
I spend a lot of my time writing, thinking about writing, not writing, wishing I were writing, blogging about writing, feeling guilty about not writing, or otherwise with writing somewhere in my conscious or subconscious. Sometimes, I forget that there are other creative works that I have percolating around in my mind. This weekend, I…

#WriteFridays Exercise 16
For this week’s writing exercise, I decided to take some inspiration from the giveaway I’m currently running, and try something that explores elements of the plot, tossing characters about at the whims of chance. I find that, when I’m writing, I’m usually kind of a control freak about what’s going on … at least until…

#WriteFridays Exercise 15
As we head into this Memorial Day Weekend here in the States, I briefly toyed with the idea of centering this week’s theme around the holiday. However, I decided to go in a different direction, namely, providing a theme-neutral prompt and allowing you, the writer, to incorporate the theme of your choice. Exercise 15: Diner…

#WriteFridays, Exercise 14…
This may come as a shock, but I actually did last week’s exercise, and am posting this week’s writing prompt almost on time! (I try to get them up by 9 a.m.) This exercise was inspired by my current work in progress, namely the sample chapter for a nonfiction book on domestic violence. It’s going…

#WriteFridays Exercise 12
I logged in this morning to post my writing prompt, and realized I’ve been falling behind on participating in my own writing exercises. So, I’m going to put some extra effort in this week to start scheduling some more interviews, as well as posting some more exercise drafts. Where is that coffee…? This week’s exercise…

#WriteFridays Exercise 11
It’s been quite the crazy week, starting with a 10-hour drive down from New York, and followed by non-stop paperwork excitement. I sat down this morning to write up an exercise, and ended up having to go take care of some other things. I completely forgot what I was going to write – I’m sure…
