I have another fun award to work with today. Last week, Sonia Marsh at Gutsy Writer was kind enough to bestow the Kreativ Blogger Award on seven of her blogging friends, and she included me. Many thanks to Sonia. One of the special features of Sonia’s blog is her use of her flip video camera …Read More
Bits and Pieces
A Killer Writing Day For my writer friends: I added 2,471 words to my novel yesterday. I accomplished that in 3.5 hours. Even I am impressed. I’m running late getting started today, so won’t do quite as well. I am on schedule, however, to finish this first draft on Sunday. Sandi Ault’s New Release: Wild …Read More
Writing Today — But first a bit of fun!
We received a dusting of snow in Northern Colorado during the night. The sky is overcast, giving me one of those rare gray, dreary days that are perfect for writing. I’ve checked my e-mail, tweeted The Blood-Red Pencil post and upcoming classes for Northern Colorado Writers, and am about to do one more chore before …Read More
True or False? What Do You Think?
I’m doing it again. I’ve set aside a big block of writing days in another push to finish this darned first draft. The days are stretched out before me. Five days. Today through Sunday. If I can do it, I’ll finally have the manuscript I’d hoped to complete by December 31st. The hard part is …Read More

How About Flowers?
I’m writing this weekend. Yay! I finished all my e-mail chores this morning, grabbed my yogurt, blueberries, and granola lunch, and by 1:30 I was ready to make a serious run at the last few chapters of my novel (for about the umpteenth time). I wanted to leave something here at the old blog for …Read More
Teach a Class? Sure!
I’ve agreed to do a ninety-minute seminar on social media for Northern Colorado Writers on March 1st. This will be an overview for beginners, including a discussion of the importance of social media for writers. I’m going to focus on Blogger, Twitter, and Facebook. Doesn’t seem like too large a task, does it? After all, …Read More
Photo Essay — Dancing Chicken and Barking Puppy
Can you tell I don’t feel like working? The other day my chicken was minding his own business, sitting in my favorite chair and reading my copy of Mark Ludy’s The Grump. He seemed to like the book a lot, because when he finished he hopped around in my chair, doing his “squawk, squawk” chicken …Read More
