ValleyGal: November 2012
http://pat-browning.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. Bright and breezy holiday reading. PLAYING WITH POISON by Cindy Blackburn was the perfect book for the Thanksgiving holiday. It’s bright and breezy, an easy read that kept me laughing. Opening line: “‘Going bra shopping at age fifty-two gives new meaning to the phrase fallen woman,’ I announced as I gazed at my reflection.”. And why is it any of. Figures Jessie for the killer and becomes an unwelcome fixture in her life. Jessie writes steamy romance novels under the name of Ade...

Murderous Musings: January 2015
http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. By Jean Henry Mead. The following are a few of Hemingway's quotes:. There's no rule on how it is to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly. Sometimes it is like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges. I'll] work again on the novel today. Writing is a hard business, but nothing makes you feel better. I love to write. But it has never gotten any easier to do and you can't expect it to if you keep trying for something better than you can do. On Writing, e.

Murderous Musings: August 2015
http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2015. Iron Lake by William Kent Krueger Rocks! Long before I decided to write, I was a reader. I still am. I love everything about all books. Especially mysteries. Books made of paper rock: their smell, their feel, their bright covers. Most of all, I love losing myself in a new world created by a gifted writer. Cork O'Connor first heard the story of the Windigo in the fall of 1965 when he hunted the big bear with Sam Winter Moon. He was fourteen and his father was dead a year. Along ...

Blood-Red Pencil: Ask the Editor: Tips for self-editing burnout
http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/2009/11/ask-editor-tips-for-self-editing.html
Meet the Blogging Team. Saturday, December 5, 2009. Ask the Editor: Tips for self-editing burnout. Asks: "What are some helpful tips on how an author can train their own editing eye even when they've read their own work a million times? But by page four or five I am seduced once again by the story’s central drama. The way to counter this is to engage your inner critic while simultaneously disrupting your reading response. To do this I find it imperative that I not. And see if the prose works without them...

Blood-Red Pencil: Alternatives to Writing
http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/2015/04/alternatives-to-writing.html
Meet the Blogging Team. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Instead of my usual Just For Fun monthly offering, I thought I'd share this story from humorist, Slim Randles. So he went back heavily to his accordion. From the early lessons of squeaking and squawking and driving most of the cockroaches out of the neighborhood, Dud’s playing had progressed to the point where people actually smiled when they discussed it. 8221; said Doc. 8220;How did it go? Dud just shrugged and threw some sugar into the coffee. 8220;Wen...

Thursday, November 27, 2014. I’m Thankful for Everything (Except Earthquakes! A couple of weeks before Thanksgiving I was doing just that while stretched out on my bed. It was Wednesday on November 12, about 4:20 pm Killing two birds with one stone, as my grandma used to say. Earthquakes have been reported in Oklahoma before, but this was the first time I had experienced one. This part of the country suffers through tornado season. We’re not supposed to have earthquakes, too. Not fair! The conversation w...

Murderous Musings: September 2014
http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. Father Time Almost Kicked My Butt. Just living started to take all of my energy. Keeping up my 4-bedroom house, my yard and cooking meals left me too tired to write. I tried, but after about 20 minutes, I had to lie down for a while. I fought this personal battle for much longer than I should have. Because of my own stubbornness, my 2. Grace Cassidy mystery, THE CORPSE WHO WALKED IN THE DOOR, wasn’t getting written. Was my life as a writer over? My youngest daughter was betw...
