I know. It’s an obvious statement. Let me rephrase it: writer friends are essential for a writer. And I don’t think that just holds true for writers. I firmly believe that whatever your passion is, you will only benefit from having close friends who share that passion. This has been on my mind a lotContinue reading “Friends are Good”

Q&A #2
And I’m back! Today, I bring you a Q&A. This will be an interesting one: all the questions were supplied by one of my closest friends, Julie. She gave me some fun questions and hopefully you’ll learn a little more about me. Where does your inspiration come from? That’s a good one. If I knew,Continue reading “Q&A #2”
Happy July!
Hey all! I won’t be posting regularly for the next two weeks, as I’m going on vacation. I’ll post when I can, but I don’t know when that will be.
Baring My Soul
“Oh, you’re a writer. Are you writing a book? What’s it about?” I get asked these questions a lot. They are often followed by “Can I read it?” and “Am I in your book?”. People are curious about my experience as a writer. While I do appreciate their interest, let me just say: I hateContinue reading “Baring My Soul”
Make Everyone Happy
It’s summer and for a lot of us, that means Vacation Bible School. For the past few days, I’ve been corralling about a dozen preschoolers for two and a half hours. Because of that, I’ve been privy to the little gems that are constantly falling out of the mouths of those bundles of energy. AsContinue reading “Make Everyone Happy”
Plot Vs. Character
This post is aimed more towards my fellow writers. I have been absolutely riveted the past few days by the most helpful book in the world (and that’s only a slight exaggeration). Friends, if you haven’t read this book, go buy it. If you’ve read it but don’t own it, go buy it. I’m serious.Continue reading “Plot Vs. Character”
Plotters and Pantsers
One of the questions I get most often as a writer is “Are you a plotter or a pantser?” I was actually thinking about answering this in my recent Q&A, but I realized that this question begs an explanation. So for those of you who haven’t heard of these terms, here’s a quick explanation. Plotters: PlottersContinue reading “Plotters and Pantsers”
Some Fatherly Advice
For as long as I can remember, my dad would send my sisters and I off to school with the same words. “Have a good day. I love you. Shine.” This ritual began after Dad overheard a rather heated argument about what should be the last thing you tell your kids before they go toContinue reading “Some Fatherly Advice”
My First Q&A!
Hi everyone! So today I’m attempting something new. I asked people on Facebook and Twitter to ask me questions to answer here. They didn’t have to pertain to writing (though most of them did). Depending on how well you like this, I’ll try to do these regularly. You don’t have to wait for one toContinue reading “My First Q&A!”
An Important Lesson (or two or three)
It may come as no surprise, but narrowing down my experience at the writer’s conference to one major lesson, or even a few, has proved to be rather challenging. So I’ve put together a list of the most important things I learned. 1. How to deal with rejection. This can actually apply to more thanContinue reading “An Important Lesson (or two or three)”
