This summer we went blackberry picking. Er, well I should say I was the “camera toter” and “bug spray applier” in this adventure.

So, I have this shiny new banner…
The artist who created it, Frauke, is incredibly talented and does a fantastic job…much better than I would’ve done!

Over on the Fangs, Fur and Fey blog, Melissa Marr posted a request for us to post our “Dead Darlings” - these are scenes we’ve cut from manuscripts for whatever reason. The request was 1) Name the book the scene was from. 2) Give the scene 3) Tell us why you liked the scene, […]

It has been a while since I’ve written one of my “visual” writing posts.
If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, you can go HERE and HERE to check out earlier “visual based” writing/craft posts I’ve made.
You’re probably wondering why I’m focusing on “the visual” when it comes to doing a post on writing, especially […]

Hi everyone,
