The Ink Ladies: Back at Last
http://theinkladies.blogspot.com/2010/08/back-at-last.html
LDS Authors Blog about Life and Writing. Saturday, August 21, 2010. I'm ba-a-a-a-a-ck. I seem to have been gone a long time, but here I am again. I think the last co-author standing should get a party, don't you? In the left-most column, at the top, I put the date. I can put anything else in the nature of notes in that column, like the times I start and end, the scene or chapter I'm working on, and how many hours I work. I see I have a notation saying slippery elm bark and chamomile tea. Ha! Or, you can ...

The Ink Ladies: Trying out New Writing Software
http://theinkladies.blogspot.com/2009/08/trying-out-new-writing-software.html
LDS Authors Blog about Life and Writing. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Trying out New Writing Software. I've been testing a software called yWriter5 by Spacejock Software. For a couple of days now. I'm starting to get the hang of it. Today I learned how to make the first chapter not a Chapter but Information, and put in the brainstorming notes from my session with Connie Wolfe while we crossed the country a few weeks back. 470 words. Do they count for writing? Yes, they absolutely count for writing!

The Ink Ladies: September 2009
http://theinkladies.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
LDS Authors Blog about Life and Writing. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. 1,000 True Fans. In my perusal of Twitter links, I ran across a reference to 1,000 True Friends, and decided to find out where it came from and what it could mean for me. I tracked it down to an original post called "1,000 True Fans" on The Technium. Kelly asserts that a creator- such as an artist, musician, or author, among others who create works of art- needs to acquire and maintain only 1,000 True Fans to make a living. Do they e...

http://theinkladies.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
LDS Authors Blog about Life and Writing. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. 12 Days of Christmas- Medieval Style Contest continues. Somehow I think I missed announcing that a group of friends and I joined Joyce DiPastena in a neat holiday giveaway. Beginning on Christmas Day, we started giving away a gift a day for 12 days, running through January 5th. Today is Day 7, so get over to. To see what's still up for grabs. Go read the Rules, and then enter for a remaining day, or all of the ones left. In a little e...

The Ink Ladies: March 2009
http://theinkladies.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
LDS Authors Blog about Life and Writing. Sunday, March 29, 2009. What is Her Goal? Recently, I had someone evaluate my manuscript and at about page 34, she said what is the main character's goal? That question really made me think. Sure, my character has goals in life and there are things she wants to accomplish, but my evaluator was right. I hadn't clearly defined what the main character's goal was- what she was in pursuit of. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Be Prepared" is not just for Boy Scouts. I'm at a ...

The Ink Ladies: yWriter5
http://theinkladies.blogspot.com/2009/09/ywriter5.html
LDS Authors Blog about Life and Writing. Thursday, September 10, 2009. Remember the novel writing software, yWriter5. That I talked about a couple of weeks ago? I am absolutely loving it. I hadn't intended to begin writing until yesterday, but I started early, and already have put in characters, locations, and notes. Also, the best thing, of course, I have written five scenes, and I'm in the second chapter. Sweet! June 30, 2010 at 10:15 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Add this to your site.

The Ink Ladies: May 2009
http://theinkladies.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
LDS Authors Blog about Life and Writing. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. That made me jump for joy. In fact, the reviewer, Jennie Hansen, who writes for Meridian Magazine, included her thoughts on the first two books in the Owen family series, as well. Hansen begins by saying, ". By Marsha Ward is the third book in a western series featuring the Owen family that takes place during those first years following the conclusion of the US Civil War.". In between, she says some very lovely things, then ends thusly:.
