Rejection Regeneration
So, Paramount+ has ‘The Stand’ series. No, this post isn’t about the whole thing going on with Johnny Depp right now. It’s about the character who was a writer. At one point, he and the female character he was really into talk about the time she told him to save his rejection letters. This is…

Think Writing
I’ve been writing inside my head. There are times when a great line will pop up, usually in the middle of the night or when I am outside, soaking up some sun rays. I am typically far from paper and pen at those moments and before I can get to a place to jot them,…

Mojo
I lost my mojo but I found some part of it. I used to sit outside every day when I bought this house; life happened and I stopped doing that. I started doing it again and sometimes wrote while out there as well. And then I stopped doing that. I realized I missed outside and…

So Funny, I’m In Tears
Have you ever had a moment when you know you need to do a thing, but the rest of life is full enough to serve as a great rationale for not getting to it? Yeah. That. I haven’t been working at my fiction writing (other than snippets on this new space and in other social…

A Twit Once More
It’s not what you think. So, several months ago I deleted my Twitter account. A trusted friend shared that she had been harassed by a follower and when she attempted to make him stop (in the kindest way possible, I might add — note that this friend is not from Jersey like yours truly or…

Book Arrival — Imminent!
I would say that I am too excited for words, but if you are one of the News Ninjas and you looked at the latest newsletter, you know that is simply untrue.However, since writing and sending it, I have fewer words than before, meaning that this will be a short post. The newest addition to…
