I have been tagged in the fun 7-7-7 game by my friends and fellow writers Jenny Hansen, Krystal Wade, and Jennette Powell. Two of these tags were on Facebook and one via author’s blog. But before we get into the Rule of Seven, have you wondered at all what happened to Thor during those weeks when…
Well, it’s been a crazy week. I’m sure you’ve all had them. When you say you’re going to do certain things and then they just don’t happen. That’s how it’s been. I was lucky enough to attend the fabulous Orange County RWA Chapter meeting last Saturday and listen to the amazing Christine Ashworth and Jessica…
I’m jumping back on the short fiction train. The challenge is to write a story based on the picture prompt and keep it to 100 words. A challenge I take to heart. This fun exercise is something I enjoy and hope to continue. New participants are always welcome. Pop on over and meet our amazing…
Happy Holidays my fellow fictioneers and readers! Today’s little ditty may have been inspired by, um, well, a book I’ve been reading A LOT over this last month. But I’ll fill you in on that later. First, the story: ‒ Dinner for Two ‒ The tree was trimmed, the table set. He had better like surprises. She…
Did you do your homework? Are you prepared with a favorite song? One that will surely live on through the ages? Oh, is that not what I asked for? Well, you have a few minutes before you have to share, so if you’re not prepared you have time to scramble. Last week we talked about…
I believe it’s time for a little monster fun. No, it’s not Immortal Monday and I don’t mean the kids as they attack the presents under the Christmas tree. Although, that would be fun as well. I know. It’s not a picture of kids ripping open shiny boxes. But this over zealous “Buddy” reminds me all too…
Do you like deals? How about free? Keep reading. Happy Sunday! I promised a reminder and here it is. I did promise a reminder, didn’t I? The Christmas shopping frenzy has begun. Even my husband and I have our biggest gifts for the kids purchased. That’s saying a lot. Every year we try to avoid…
Can you believe December is already here? Who’s ready for the holidays? I’m not. For those of you in the same boat as me, we’ll have fun getting ready in the next couple of weeks, won’t we? Let the fun begin! But why am I so excited that I am blogging on a Saturday? It’s December…
Friday means: Friday Fictioneers! I may have neglected the last two weeks of this fun posting after committing to it, but I didn’t feel it would be fair to post something when my family would keep me too busy to comment or peruse other participates. So here I am, back in the game. If something…
How much do you love getting away from it all? Zipping away with the special people in your life and forgetting about all other responsibilities for the time being? I recently had this opportunity. But I’ve got to tell you, when I heard I was going to be in Hawaii at the time of E.C.…
On October 27th I had the opportunity to attend my first Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators’ event – Writers’ Day. I stepped out with apprehension. Not because I was afraid I wouldn’t enjoy the day. I was sure I would. But because I would be with a large group of people I’d never met before.…
Welcome to a second edition of Friday Fictioneers. I am now two for two. Woot woot! This one is also coming in at an even 100 word count – yay! If you’re unfamiliar with Friday Fictioneers, it’s when writers take on the challenge of writing a 100 word story, poem, haiku, based on a photo…
