I'm just curious what's on everyone else's reference bookshelf? You know - the book(s) you go to when you can't remember grammar or punctuation rules, editor marks, you're looking for a snippet of…Continue

I have found it to be true that my craft (s) always take a back seat to a love interest. I love love and the music I play is about love, my poetry is about love. A slowdown in my writing/playing work process for love (the only…

It was my first ever Nano, and I hit a few thousand over the 50k mark.The plan for my mess of a manuscript?

Kathleen, I think you hit the nail on the head. If works suffers, there's something wrong. Since I made this post, I have actually met a guy who is cool with my need for space and time to write. In fact, we made plans for tonight. When he…

NaNoWriMo Day One - Friendly ahem Family Competition

Here it is, November 1st and the start of my very first NaNoWriMo. I'm so excited that I'm driving my family nuts already. Granted, I'm not sure if they're rolling their eyes at me because I won't shut up about it, because (as usual) I'm breaking all the rules, or if it's because my word count has already hit over 5,000 this morning. No matter the reason, they aren't very fond of me this morning. That's okay. I love them, anyway...and they love me too - if for no other reason than to secure…See More

Good luck to you on the relationship/soulmate thing. I have pretty muchj decided that it exists only in the mind of women . It is something that we are taught. I have seen 1 good marriage in 58 years. My maternal grandparents. He(born 1899) loved…

At times a relationship can be distracting. I've been single for all my life, and I found that relationships take a lot of work. At this point in my life, I'm trying to accomplish things that would make it distracting. I love the freedom…

I was married, then not; then in a two-year relationship, then not; then in a six-month relationship, then not; (you get the picture right?) During those times I was raising three daughters, working as a staff writer for the local newspaper and…

I think that balancing act is sometimes difficult. I am single and have always been. I thin that there are expectations in a dating situation that sometimes get threatened by other overshadowing aspects of one's life. You mentioned "maybe…

My father's death opened the closet of horrible memories and I began to write "ugly" as I called it then. I began to reach for some honesty in my writing as I went through three years of frequent flashbacks--not of HIM, but of another…
