She’s my new BFF.  Well, if by BFF one means a person who has no idea that *I* exist, but I’ve spent 19 pages so far reading her every thought and act and added in her comments section that I was totally devoted to following her anywhere, but not in a scary stalker way.  Seriously.  She’s awesome.

Read.  Laugh until you nearly pee yourself.  Repeat.Read More →

Cafepress gifts for writers! I can’t decide which is my favorite, but it’s a toss up between I’m a famous writer (which I’m so not!) and The Voices In My Head Tell Me What to Write (which is so true!).Read More →

I’ve been looking for something to give me that Bitch, OK! feeling. My plan is to write during the week, and plot/revise/layer on the weekends. And it works. I think it works really well for me. But it doesn’t make it any easier to just sit down and do it. In a purely whimsical way, I present these to you: Magic Bean Wishes Plant these bean seeds and watch them magically rise up from the soil with an inspirational message stamped on each bean. Grow indoors or out. Includes 15 assorted beans with messages such as “faith,” “love,” “heal” and more. I kind of reallyRead More →

Which I am suffering.  But fear not, the wise Jennifer Crusie has listed some random thoughts on rewriting, which are awesome. My faves: After you’ve read something forty-two times, it all sounds like blahblahblah. If you don’t feel like writing a scene with sex in it, you don’t write a scene with sex it in. Kind of like real life. Playing computer Scrabble does not help you think your way through a plot knot. Crocheting does.

No, I’m not referring to Dickens or even Bronte.  I’m talking Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, MacGyver(!), even The Love Boat.  This awesome site, that I’m sure CBS operates, has episodes from classic tv.  And not just one or two.  It has the entire three seasons of Star Trek.  Good stuff, friends.  Happy holidays!Read More →

Or the prank call.  You decide! Check this site out, getmooh.com.  It will call you (or someone else, I suppose) at a time and date of your specification, although I couldn’t get it to move past December.  *shrug*  The potential for abuse is pretty high here, so check it out while it’s still around. At the very least, listen to the recordings, just for the amusement value.  Although, listening now, holy crap, did Alec Baldwin talk some smack to his kid or what (second recording down)?Read More →

Movie in a Minute. It’s actually pretty amusing. And, hey, you know how we’re supposed to be able to condense our story to one sentence? Well, someone did it for these movies.Read More →

Okay, if you’re a writer, clichés are bad. Like… playing with fire bad, bad hair day bad, like a fish out of water bad. Get the picture? Sure they’re descriptive, and we don’t have to reach for them–they just pop into our heads, fully formed because we all know what they mean. But it’s lazy writing. But, hey, I’m not here to lecture you. This is link licker day. So, just for kicks, have some fun with the Cliché Finder. You type in a word, and it’ll come up with all the bad clichés associated with it.Read More →

I know, I suck.  Monday is dance day (not for me, for my daughter, although it’s proven inspirational, so yay!)–anyway, I’m late.  Sorry.  Really. Here’s what I want.  I think it describes the writing process perfectly.  And, I drink coffee, especially when I’m writing, like I breathe air.Read More →
