Cathy: Mishap Tai Chi

Posted in Cathy, tagged , , , , , , on May 4, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Those of you who have been getting to know me here may have begun to notice a certain tendency toward being a wee-bit cock-eyed or shall we say, taking a lot of left turns off path. I think I read that old Robert Frost poem at a very young age and have taken the [...]

Cathy: Facing things

Posted in Cathy, tagged , , on January 27, 2009 | 24 Comments »

I’ve really appreciated being a part of this community. I’ve gained confidence in areas I neglected for a long time. I got back in touch with my own creativity in a variety of ways, the biggest of which was returning to a long ago manuscript that I had back-burnered along with many other projects. I’m [...]

Brittany: What Happened to My Muse?

Posted in Brittany, tagged , , on January 26, 2009 | 10 Comments »

I always have something in my mental queue. Some of the ideas are very promising. Some are wacky. Some might inspire others. Some inspire me. I had thought that my next writing project would be the sequel to my novel, all about Jillian (the ex-nympho) and her pregnancy from hell. But I’m just not feeling it. It’s winter, it’s [...]

Cathy: Getting back to business

Posted in Cathy, tagged , on January 13, 2009 | 11 Comments »

After the long holiday hiatus I took from my manuscript, I opened the document the other day and worked really hard to pick up where I left off. It wasn’t easy. I did realize during the time I was away from it, that a character name I had was a little close to a character [...]

Bethany: The Fun of Letting Go

Posted in Bethany, tagged , , on April 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Life has been hellish lately.  And I don’t mean that in the Gosh-I-Just-Don’t-Feel-Right Sorta Way. No. It’s been hellish.  16+ hour work days, endless phone calls.  Teething baby.  Six Year Old Kid that feels neglected. And a husband who is still dealing with the unexpected death of his mother less than 4 months ago.  Not [...]

Bethany: A Choice of Two

Posted in Bethany, tagged , , on February 21, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I’m constantly coming up with new book ideas.  Not that I am complaining, because one can never have too many ideas.  No. This is more of a preference.  Which book to I work on now?  See, I’ve been working on one book idea for a while now.  In fact wrote 100 pages, then scrapped them [...]

Bethany: Shhhh… I’ve got an idea!

Posted in Bethany, tagged , , on February 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I get ideas anytime and anywhere. This latest idea, just as I was ready to fall asleep while nursing my daughter last night.  Only problem with that–is that new ideas energize me.  So much so, they consume my brain and sleeping in NOT an option.
Much to my dismay, last night at midnight, I spend over [...]

Jenny: Eureka! I have a story

Posted in Jenny, tagged on February 2, 2008 | 8 Comments »

I was soaking in the bath this evening, as usual. No glass of wine or candles this time; instead just bubbles, a pen and an old unused notebook I’d found on a bookshelf. I was lying back letting conditioner seep into my hair when suddenly she waltzed in~ my muse. “Where the hell have you [...]

Bethany: Ah-Ha Moments

Posted in Bethany, tagged , , on January 29, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I’ve been sitting on this novel outline for months. Picking away at the plot when I had nothing better to do–and blathering on about how I should be writing it.  And then that’s when it hit me.  I was That Writer.  The one blathering and not putting in the time to write it.
Once I came [...]
