#WriteFridays the 13th!
It’s just my luck that I would go to write a post on Thursday, have it swallowed up by the WordPress update, and think to myself: No worries, I’m going to post a writing exercise on Friday anyway … and then forget to post said writing exercise. It’s kind of like putting the baby down…

#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…

#WriteFridays Exercise 10
I’m currently working with my first client for my writing coach business, Scribbler Coach, and so far it’s been a lot of fun. She is writing a novel based on the fictionalization of her life. Many times, when people tell me they want to write a novel based on their lives, I am a little…

#WriteFridays Exercise 9
Usually when I sit down to come up with these writing exercises, I look back over the week and pinpoint one or two events or incidents that spur the creative juices. This week — was just too crazy. From attending a court hearing, to driving from New Jersey to North Carolina which meant literally driving…

Short Story – Unsettling Hobbies
I finally sat down to write my own flash fiction contribution to Friday’s writing exercise. If you like, join us on Fridays for more writing prompts and sharing of the craft! The Appraisal The road in was long and winding, passing through fields stubbled with the last vestiges of the corn harvest upstate. The only…

#WriteFridays Exercise 6 – no – 7
For Exercise 6 7 (as Noah has pointed out multiple times, I need to include the Twitter exercise I put out the week I crashed my Web site) I decided to do something a little different. The following writing revision exercise takes a look at something you already have on paper, and focuses on one aspect of the…

#WriteFridays Exercise the Fifth…
In the past week, I’ve been on the road more often than not, commuting seven plus hours a day to make it to a Reserve temporary duty gig while still being able to come home to my sister’s house at night (she was watching my daughter.) Suffice it to say, I’ve been through more than…

A new look for the Infamous Scribbler: Scribbler Coach!
I am currently working on setting up a Web page on this site for my new venture, but I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I want to introduce my new venture … Scribbler Coach! Artist Krist Neumann, a talented friend of mine, created the logo in the header above. Isn’t it awesome? (The logo, I…

#WriteFridays Exercise 4
This week, I posted an interview with author Stephen Christiansen, wherein we discussed world-building on the macro level. This got me thinking about all the different levels at which we interact with our environment, especially as I began drafting the outline of a new novel set in a zombified near future. So I offer this…
