Be Still, My Heart: September 2013
http://lindahilton.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Saturday, September 28, 2013. A few words to set your hearts at ease. Those of you who know who you are, that is. This is a personal note to a few people who seem to have their knickers in a twist after they stalked me to a popular website and saw something they thought was bad behavior on my part. I want to assure them that I was not doing what they thought I was doing. I'm sure they will sleep better at night knowing this. As I worke...

Be Still, My Heart: November 2014
http://lindahilton.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Thursday, November 20, 2014. On the trail of words connected in twisted circles. There is both blessing and curse in capacious memory, but more blessing I think than curse. Based on the information I've been able to dig up - for which I have to thank Google in part - I must have read the story in the spring or summer of 1959, when I was roughly ten and a half years old. It appeared in. The Saturday Evening Post. I don't know. Did I...

Be Still, My Heart: Separation of words and self
http://lindahilton.blogspot.com/2015/02/separation-of-words-and-self.html
Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Thursday, February 12, 2015. Separation of words and self. One of the issues that's been brought home to me in some rather startling ways is this whole issue of writers wailing that their books are their babies. They seem to use this claim as a justification for both outrage over negative book reviews and outright attacks (usually verbal rather than physical) on the reviewers. Who are you to tell me how to write my. She had lived in or...

http://lindahilton.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Saturday, September 27, 2014. It's done. Almost. I'm going to leave it alone overnight, then give it another full read-through in the morning, when my eyes are rested and so is my brain. I've already seen a few places that need tweaking, and some of the photos need to be re-sized. One may come out altogether, and another may be replaced. But it's done. All 11,932 words of it. Isn't a how-to manual, or a guidebook with maps to all the ...

Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Sunday, November 16, 2014. You have my word: As of 15 November 2014, I will not buy, read. Rate, or review or in any other way promote any book published by HarperCollins. Period. I refuse to support a publisher that supports a stalker. Will such a boycott harm innocent authors? Let's be honest with ourselves. Brutally honest. Let's admit that we really just don't want to deprive ourselves. The message being sent right now by HarperCol...

Be Still, My Heart: March 2014
http://lindahilton.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Saturday, March 1, 2014. The words that I needed. The Poldark saga came to PBS'. In 1976. In rural Indiana in those days, our television reception wasn't the best from either Fort Wayne or South Bend, but each Sunday evening I somehow managed to watch an episode of. Sealed my fate or not, I'll never know, but I would certainly not deny it. In 1980, I felt more confident that I'd created a story worth sharing. The past couple of years, ...

Be Still, My Heart: Words that fill unusual needs
http://lindahilton.blogspot.com/2014/12/words-that-fill-unusual-needs.html
Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Tuesday, December 2, 2014. Words that fill unusual needs. Once again, I need to remind myself that I do not believe in omens. Really and truly, I don't. Yes Even serendipity and luck. But omens, with their implication of supernatural manipulation of human events? No Just, no. On the other hand. . . . Several years ago, a rather unusual sequence of events put me in possession of a faceting machine. As I wrote in. Which was likewise inad...

Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Monday, November 11, 2013. Are silent denials words of shame? This is going to be a very short - for me - blog post. I'll expand it later, but you'll have to come to the blog itself to see the rest. And no, I'm not sure when it will be. Without disclosing that they have agreed ahead of time to do so. Are they engaging in deception for their own gain? Are they ashamed of something? Let me reiterate: Are they ashamed of what they've done?

Be Still, My Heart: Part 1: The price of buying -- and selling -- words

Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Thursday, December 18, 2014. Part 1: The price of buying - and selling - words. This is going to be a very long work in progress. Rather than wait until I have the whole thing written, I'm going to post each part as it's completed and then post updates and/or corrections as needed. I don't have all the answers, and don't claim to. I'm just trying to ask the questions and put whatever information I find into some coherent order. Unlike ...

Be Still, My Heart: The first words of the rest of my life
http://lindahilton.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-first-words-of-rest-of-my-life.html
Be Still, My Heart. The Adventures of a Resurrected Romance Novelist. Monday, December 1, 2014. The first words of the rest of my life. I do not believe in omens. Really, I don't. What I wrote a few weeks ago was a tale of connections and coincidences, nothing more. I do not always get along well with real people. My personal collection of reading material is more than enough to keep me occupied. What I've lacked, though, is the time to read. It doesn't matter that there are 2,500 books in the ho...But i...
