Excused Absence

I’m working on my book this weekend.

I’m going to point you toward a couple of excellent blog posts by blogger friends:

Cat Woods at Words From the Woods: On a BlogRoll: do you have what it takes?

I answered all of Cat’s questions and reached the conclusion I should never have started a blog. However, now that I’m here, I’ll probably hang out for a while. I will be taking some weekends off to write more, and I will have more guest bloggers, but I’m enjoying this blogging community so much I’d hate to give up.

Beth Groundwater’s blog: Cover Art for Deadly Currents!

Take a look at the cover for Beth’s first book in her new Rocky Mountain Outdoor Adventures series. Her release date is March 1, 2011.

Poe’s Deadly Daughters: The Zen and the Art of Ice Cream

A delightful guest post from Wendy Lyn Watson and Mary Jane Maffini.

Chuck Sambuchino’s Guide to Literary Agents Editor’s Blog: How to Start Your Mystery Novel

There’s more in this helpful post about beginnings, including first sentences.

Have a wonderful weekend.

  1. Hi Patricia,
    That was a tough test, I hope my blogger friends don’t take it or I will end up by myself :-))

    By the way, my story about the Jamaican girl who has your signed copy of “The Prairie Grass Murder” is posted!

    Also, I meant to tell you that I enjoyed the novel big time. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. I liked the characters a lot, of course Syl my favorite, and Tak my next… I guess I can relate to her…hehehe

  2. Thanks for those great links. I will definitely check them out 🙂

    Also, I finally passed your Creative Writer award on in case you’re interested. You had me worrying I wouldn’t be able to come up with anything interesting for a while there 😉 Thanks again for giving me that award!

    Hope you had a great and productive weekend! 🙂

  6. Well, you certainly caught my attention with your declaration about ” . . . I should never have started a blog.” I can’t wait to scoot over there and see if I should have! Thanks for these links – and good luck with your writing!

  14. I haven’t looked at the link yet, do I have what it takes to do a blog? but I’d probably not do well on the “test” either! Don’t ever give this up. I’d miss you.

    I hope you have a productive weekend with your book!!!
