I guess you'll have to keep writing this story! I want to know what happens—good job!
Can I make a few suggestions? In the first paragraph you have images or themes that conflict. For instance, clawing and drowning. If his…"

Profile Information
- Who I am:
- I am a late bloomer. I didn't start writing until I started college at age thirty-seven with the hardest class I could imagine taking--ENG COMP I. First class was on Sept 11, 2001, I've since earned an AA in ECE from NECCo in Haverhill MA and a BA in Writing and Literature from UI&U--Montpelier VT.
I have three novels in progress, number one (Happenstance) and two (Endure) are on hold so I can finish number three (The Illusion of Marriage). The second one is a suspense story I originally envisioned as a script but used to participate in NaNoWriMo 2010. Still trying to finish first draft, think it may be a better movie but I've never written a script. Well, I've never written a novel either so there goes that logic. Current work is also a NaNoWriMo win 2011, also a story I envisioned as a movie (what's up with that?).
I decided I must be a writer after reading Betsy Learner's description of her neurotic clients in "Forest for the Trees" and recognized myself.
Most of the time--I have no idea what I'm doing, nor what to do next and really wish I was smarter.
3/7/11--I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm fine! It was early, 5cm, ER+ stage 2-3, nothing in sentinel nodes. Had a lumpectomy, did ACT for chemo. Treatment was relatively uneventful. I rocked a bald head. Chemo brain was awful but fog lifted soon after finishing. Damn, there goes that excuse. Radiation was a cinch. Anyone needing to talk about treatment or being diagnosed can email me here, or lynne.favreau@gmail.com
I have two teenage daughters. Thank you for the sympathy.
My husband is a saint 90% of the time.
My older sister lives with us. She cooks, and does the laundry--no you can't have her, though she says she can be had for her own bathroom and a water view.
We think I have dysgraphia. It cost too much for an adult to be tested for a learning disability to find out for sure, especially since it hasn't stopped me from being successful. I can only write on the computer, otherwise my thoughts are a jumbled mess.
I wish I had something to put in all those little boxes below this one.

Formula for Success and Trends
Posted on December 18, 2011 at 11:08am 2 Comments 2 Likes
In response to Samantha's question about writing formulas and trends.
Oh, wouldn't it to be nice to have the formula for the next blockbuster-LOL!
Yes, there are trends-romance and YA have been trending for a awhile. And within those trends there are fads-vampires for instance. And yes, I believe all writing is about emotional response.
There are themes that trend in relation to our societal woes or triumphs. The problem is we often don't recognize the coming…

I'm a Big Picture Person
Posted on September 14, 2011 at 1:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Hi All,
Sigh...as I begin to post more and more around here, it will become evident that I am not a detail person. It's not that I don't know how to spell--know, now, or no, their, they're or there, or that I do not know their proper usage, I do. I just don't notice whether or not they've slipped out incorrectly. You'd think I didn't reread my posts before I hit comment. I swear I do, really. It's like I have night blindness to my writing errors.
My husband is a…

Hi Lynne, we have a lot in common! I'm pretty sure I have dysgraphia as well as dylexia. I almost quit writing a million and one times over it. I must say I couldn't tell in your profile bio though. Your writing looked solid. I'm so happy to meet you. You know what its like to obsess over a sentence for an hour! We'll have to chat some time.
My best,
Melanie

Yes. Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. After I posted that, I read another writer's opinion that trying to do signing events was a waste of time. She referred to LA market where there are many unknowns doing events, but only celebrity writers had a response and a boost. You may have read that. I believe her focus was on social net marketing. Thanks again. Tim

Elizabeth Pagel-Hogan said… Would you be ok with me editing/excerpting your story and posting it on cancer be glammed?
- At 4:17pm on January 6, 2012, Elizabeth Pagel-Hogan said…
Thanks for your honesty! I am a journalist by trade so now I want to hear more...was there anything special that helped you through treatment? Music? A special soft blanket you loved crawling under when you got home? And again,this is only if you WANT to share. I'm hoping to generate some unique honest stories from women to share with other women. Please feel free to pass Cancer Be Glammed on to other women (and men) if you think it would help them!

Hi Lynne,
I am a fellow SheWrites member, and I do some professional writing. I was wondering if you journaled at all during your treatment and if it helped you. I thought maybe, if you did journal, you'd want to talk about the experience and the benefits and we could have you guest post on the site I write for, Cancer Be Glammed. You can find them online at http://www.cancerbeglammed.com and they are on Facebook and Twitter, too. It's a great site and business started by two amazing women. No need to reply if you're not interested, not trying to be pushy, just always looking for a chance to help other women get through a challenging time.
All the best,
Elizabeth

Brenda Moguez said… Lynne, you are a smart woman. I doubt I would have started a blog if not for the 'suggested guidelines' for first time novel writers. It's a time suck for sure, but on the other hand, which I learned along the way, it's a wonderful place for the writer to try out new voices and play. I try to limit my reading and commenting so I don't go bonkers. It's a lot. Love your blog name, perfect!

Barbara Ehrentreu said… Oh, I think that would be very cool for them!! Get yourself a copy too! With e-books you save a ton of money. The regular pocketbooks are twice the price of mine. Here is the buy page:
or you can get it on Amazon, Kindle, Nook, Barnes&Noble, Smashwords all on Friday!! Also I will be able to sign anyone's copy with kindlegraph.com.
That will also not be ready until Friday.
