This year I am writing a novel. My previous experience trying to write longer pieces of fiction weren’t successful. Try as I might I just couldn’t get to my end goal. Anyway, the other day I sat down to start a new chapter in the novel I am currently writing and it wasn’t that I… Continue reading My writing killer!

Evolution of a Writer – Who is “I” and “me”?
This year I am writing a novel. An interesting thing occurred as I have been writing The Nameless Files. I can’t say when it happened and I only noticed it recently. Use of the pronouns “I” and “me” has changed when I am writing. They are no longer “I” and “me” the writer. Somewhere along… Continue reading Evolution of a Writer – Who is “I” and “me”?

Pink Pumpkin Vanilla Pumpkin Flavour Coffee
The name of this coffee made me wonder if the hot liquid in my cup would have a pink hue. It doesn’t, of course, but it is a lovely deep brown. The scent is bitter with notes of a woodsy vanilla. On second sniff I realize the woodsy notes are in fact seasonal spices with… Continue reading Pink Pumpkin Vanilla Pumpkin Flavour Coffee

Writing with wings
This year I am writing a novel. In that wonderful way that writing grows its own wings and takes flight I have watched things develop in my writing of The Nameless Files that I never would have expected and that I certainly didn’t plan for. Once I realized that I needed to stay true to… Continue reading Writing with wings

Peeking from the shadows
This year I am writing a novel. You might have read my post titled “Establishing Context” where I was talking a bit about whether I should write a prologue or not. Well, I decided to play around with it a bit and this week I was hoping for some feedback on my rough idea of… Continue reading Peeking from the shadows

Weekend Coffee Share
First we look. The liquid in my mug is a burnt brown that fades into shades of cinnamon and peanut. Even in this summer heat I can see a faint mist rising. Then we smell. I take a deep inhale. The dominant smell is fruity and tangy yet sweet and raspberry. This smell is so… Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share

Establishing Context
This year I am writing a novel. Is this a strange time in the process to consider a prologue? I am over half way through writing The Nameless Files and here I am thinking about pausing in chapter writing to draft up a prologue. We all know that a prologue is used as an opening… Continue reading Establishing Context

Popcorn and…
This year I am writing a novel. I dream of sitting drinking coffee on the front porch on a warm early morning writing. Or maybe sitting pool side with my notebook and pencil at a tropical resort. Heavy sigh. I have done the bulk of my writing in doors at night as predicted months ago… Continue reading Popcorn and…
