https://celebratingnancy.wordpress.com/nancys-burial-at-sea

A Force of Nature. Nancy’s Burial at Sea. Nancy’s Tribute Concert. Nancy’s Burial at Sea. Nancy and I loved visiting a small town called Ventura, about 65 miles up the coast from Los Angeles. It’s a beautiful little town right on the water, with pretty cottages and very friendly, down-to-earth people. Each year, Nancy and I would go to the Ventura County fair,. And each year we had a ball (and always ate too much ice cream). One time we even brought Nan’s ukelele and my bongos up with us and had a ...

Darkly Delicious YA: May 2014

http://darklydeliciousya.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 30, 2014. The Dark Deliciousness of Working with Editors by Kat Ross. Before I found a publisher, I had some vague notion that the process involved an experienced editor coming along with a magic pen and basically fixing all the mediocre things in my manuscript. I mean, yes, I expected to do some rewriting. Delete scene here, add one there. Everyone complains about the hideous pressure of rewriting under deadlines, so I wasn't completely. Well, I soon discovered that's my. First Lines or Last...

http://darklydeliciousya.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 31, 2014. Characters Who Change By The End of the First Draft (or The Voices in Our Heads) by Jessica Therrien. Many writers will often speak of the voices in their heads. Writers, you know what I mean. Everyone else, go ahead and think I'm crazy, but I know I'm not the only one who has conversations with people who don't exist ;). Sometimes characters become so real they take on lives of their own. In my series, Children of the Gods. When I was writing Oppression (Book 1). I have ALWAYS wa...

Darkly Delicious YA: August 2014

http://darklydeliciousya.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 14, 2014. A Darkly Delicious Detail about Shades of Atlantis by Carol Oates. Like many people in Ireland, I suffered through eleven years of Irish lessons and left school with hardly more than an ability to introduce myself as Gaeilge. Not a little bit shameful considering it’s the national language of the country, although it’s only spoken daily by a relatively small fraction of citizens. All languages evolve. Irish has gone from Primitive Irish. In Ogham inscriptions to Modern Irish.

http://darklydeliciousya.blogspot.com/2014/08/tip-of-day-dont-break-chain-from.html

Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Tip of the Day – Don’t Break the Chain from Kendall Kulper. One of my most favorite productivity tips is so simple, it sounds like a joke:. Step 1. Figure out what it is you want to do every day (say: writing for an hour a day). Step 2. Get yourself a big ole calendar, the kind that hangs on the wall, and a big, fat marker, preferably red. Step 3. Every time you accomplish your goal for the day, put a big X in the calendar. Step 4. Don’t break the chain. For me, I gave myself di...
