I was asked whose point of view do I like to write from; the hero or the villain? I’ve never really considered writing from the villain’s point of view. I am just naturally drawn to the hero more. WHY? It is all very selfish. I want to be the hero of my stories so I can live vicariously through the protagonist. What can I say? I’m not 25 years old anymore and the only way I can do all those…

Besides writing, what other creative outlets do I have? When I was in high school I was going to be the next Van Gogh (without the crazy factor). I dreamed of having a huge studio with massive canvases piled along every wall. In college it was the dream of photography. For twelve years I photographed everything from sunrises to newborns. Those were the days. Today, so many years later, I am a writer, but I still love to photograph the…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Are your ready? Now there’s a question I always have to scratch my head over, and return that question with another. How exactly does one get ready? Do you make lists? Throw things away? Clean the house? Wash the roof? I just don’t get it. As a writer, I get some questions that also make me pull on my beard – well, I would pull on my beard if I had one.

Every month I join with a group of writers to answer a question. These monthly writing questions are a fun way for me to let you into my writing life taking a look at the frustrations, successes, and, sometimes, the everyday. Today’s question from the Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG) is: What are five objects we’d find on your writing desk? Sitting at my desk there is a general clutter of a lot of stuff, most of which is paper.…

I did pull the fourth one a couple of months ago to see where it had gotten as far as the number of cloves. I was a little disappointed to see that it looked more like a green onion than a garlic. So, I left the final three to grow…

One of my favorite days of the year is October first. Not only is it my husband’s birthday, but it is the day I mark to bring the Halloween decorations up from the basement. Halloween is at the top of my list for fun holidays. I dress for the Trick-or-Treaters and we pipe spooky music out of the upstairs window. My outdoor decorations are on the fun side rather than the creepy. I love the tiny tykes who are out…

It is already September and I haven’t written a post since early August. Last month was beyond busy so this blog was set aside, until now. It is time to turn over a new leaf and begin posting at least once per week. It is a simple goal and I am excited to get started with this post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. The question for September? What publishing path are you considering to take, and why? Each day…
