We are exactly one month out from November 1, which marks the start of the annual writing frenzy known as NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Like Bilbo, I will probably be running out the door without my literary handkerchief (i.e. no novel plan whatsoever) at 12:01. This year I am Municipal Liaison along with Ema Timar.

Never Give Up (aka the rejection letter that made me cry tears of joy) | Kellifornia Dreaming

https://kelliforniadreaming.wordpress.com/2015/03/12/never-give-up-aka-the-rejection-letter-that-made-me-cry-tears-of-joy

Writing for a living, living for writing. Never Give Up (aka the rejection letter that made me cry tears of joy). To blog or not to blog? Honestly, I haven’t blogged in so long because a) I didn’t feel I had anything inspiring to say and b) I made a decision to spend more time writing, and that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve reworked and rehoned (I know not a real word but I’ve decided to employ it anyway), my first novel and am deep into writing my second. And this particular agent was wonderful. She ...

The LACE READER by Brunonia Barry. My head is reeling with the noise of everything in this room that isn’t being said. Towner Whitney, our unreliable narrator, is often overwhelmed by the thoughts of others. Like many members of her family, she possesses the talent to read patterns in lace, or minds. I am not capable of either talent, but my head is still reeling from The Lace Reader. S novel has bewitched me, and her choice to set the story in Salem, Massachusetts has nothing to do with it. Brunonia enh...

Meet the Blogging Team. Saturday, December 5, 2009. Ask the Editor: Tips for self-editing burnout. Asks: "What are some helpful tips on how an author can train their own editing eye even when they've read their own work a million times? But by page four or five I am seduced once again by the story’s central drama. The way to counter this is to engage your inner critic while simultaneously disrupting your reading response. To do this I find it imperative that I not. And see if the prose works without them...
