Tuesday, September 30, 2008. My excuse for not doing laundry. Thursday, September 25, 2008. 13 Thoughts on the Government and the Current Events (and why do they think the American Public is Stupid? Ooh, here’s an idea: stop paying higher ups an exorbitant salary and maybe you won't fail, which means we won’t have to bail you out against our will. 3 If you serve in Congress even for only two years, your insurance is paid for life. Where do you think that comes from? Why should President Bush or half of t...

Emma Sanders: October 2009

http://emmasanders.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Is Grammar Really All It’s Cracked Up To Be? I appreciate grammar. I do. But my brain usually short-circuits if I have to filter through a bunch of colons, commas, and semi-colons to get to the true grit of the story. She’s got the mind, she’s got the experience, she’s got the charm! I believe in her! And I think an 81 year old romance author could charm the socks off most unbelievers. That requires another post) It explained the importance of grammar. So her first senten...

Emma Sanders: Going to Nationals!

http://emmasanders.blogspot.com/2009/05/going-to-nationals.html

Wednesday, May 20, 2009. The RWA National Conference, July 15-18, in Washington DC! It’s a huge deal for me and I can’t tell you how excited I am. I submitted an application for a scholarship, and my story won! This is the first time I've been to Nationals! Did I mention how excited I am? So, because I’m a little crazy (or OCD? Did I mention I hate flying? Turns out he already knows his way around DC. At least, that's what he told me. (He likes to play his video game, Fallout 3, LOL, based in DC). 9/13/0...

So here’s a list of 13 brothers I adore. Can you guess what they do? Luke, Owen and Andrew Wilson. Ben and Casey Affleck. Eddie and Alex Van Halen. The b...

Emma Sanders: February 2009

Sunday, February 22, 2009. Goal, Motivation and Conflict. GMC You know the term. Every main character (hero/heroine) must have one in your story to make their actions ring true. Even if your character doesn't understand why she wants what she wants, your reader will want to know, so YOU must know. Ah, so what does a character do when conflict gets in her way? As I contemplate my character's GMC, I'm also contemplating mine:. To be published (and because I love to write! Make a schedule and stick to it.

Emma Sanders: January 2009

http://emmasanders.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 12, 2009. The next morning, I was reading my “writer’s devotional” (Julia Cameron’s FINDING WATER. If I hadn’t read that little chapter the very next day, I may have ignored that moose (though I hadn’t been able to get it out of my mind since I saw it the day before). Reading that chapter was like I had been sucker-punched. If I ignored that message, then I had no one to blame but myself. With renewed vigor and zest (and thanks to Margie Lawson’s DEFEATING SELF DEFEATING BEHAVIORS.

Emma Sanders: November 2008

http://emmasanders.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 30, 2008. It's been awhile since I've posted a book review, but this was one of those I felt deserved my attention. I didn't expect to like it. Too much hype. I hate hype and will usually avoid books or movies with too much hype (okay, except the Pirates movies, superhero movies and.I could go on). Still, I normally read thrillers, suspense, and romance and. Avoid hype, though not always. You can't publish enough romantic suspense for my taste. This was none of those. There was something...

Emma Sanders: Would You Say I'm a Fan?

http://emmasanders.blogspot.com/2009/05/would-you-say-im-fan.html

Sunday, May 17, 2009. Would You Say I'm a Fan? Hubby and I were cleaning out a kitchen cabinet and came across a bunch of coffee canisters we had saved. We saved them because they make great canisters for grease, his screws, nails, etc, but we didn't realize we had so many! We have storage room again. NoI'm in no way advertising Folgers (actually I prefer the Organic Coffee Company, but they are hard to find and ultra expensive for a couple who drinks coffee like hubby and I do). However, Folgers.
