How many SheWriters have taken the Myers-Briggs personality test at some point? Do you find that your personality type reflects how you write? Do you find that your characters tend to fall into…Continue

Who Would Play You – The Ruth Valley Missing Edition

I’ve seen authors voice different opinions about having a real person in their head when writing a story. Some do it, some don’t. Some are against it, some for it.
Me?
I find for some characters, it benefits me to have a “voice” in my head. Especially given the amount of dialogue in my stories. If each character has a unique sound in my head – whether that be an actual tone of voice, an accent, or specific mannerisms – their conversations are easier to imagine.
Not every…
Continue Celebrating Daily Writing In November - Let's Meet Up!

Hello fellow She Writers!
It's November 1st, which for some writers means the beginning of NaNoWriMo, a month of daily writing resulting in 50,000 words by the end of the month. It's quite an undertaking, one that just might leave me in an exhausted smiling heap by the end of the month.

Hello Fellow She Writers,
The She Writes community, as you all know, is a wonderful place to connect with other writers, learn more about the craft, and talk about what you're working on.
Part of keeping this community a fabulous place to be is preventing the evil four letter word: SPAM.…

I've mentioned on Twitter in the past week an effort among the bloggers in the community to give back . A lot of bloggers get involved in link ups as a way to introduce themselves to others in the blogosphere.
Wouldn't it be great if we could channel that effort into helping…

Trish Johansen said… Hi Amber,
Thanks for the welcome and links. When I get a few things checked off my to do list, I'm looking forward to having a good look around. It's nice reading through the comments and realising I'm in good company when I feel there's not enough of me to go around for all the things I want to do. Hi to everyone, and we just need to keep at it steadily, not even questioning whether we can get it done or not. We Will!!

It is great to be here!
I am struggling – like most of us – to find time to write. A very demanding work, a family to take care of and especially a full of energy two-year old are taking up most of my time. But, I am determined to find time to review my novels one at a time and try to self-publish.
I appreciate all the advice and opinions on this site and I am trying to find out what would work best for me.
Regarding writing, the only thing I am sure about is that it comes naturally to me – it actually flows through me and I find my fingers flying on the keyboard, whenever I get a chance.
Having read some of your posts here, as well and opinions on other sites, I am coming to realize that instead of starting with my first novel, I should go the other way around and start with the last one – since when I was writing it, I already had a lot of practice.
I wish everybody a very joyful and fruitful day, full of love and harmony!
