The romance of ink-stained fingers, early morning inspiration, and carpal tunnel syndrome. February 19, 2011. Posted by Brandie Ashe in ghostly doings. Woo … I’m a ghost! Okay, not really. But I am, for the first time, trying my hand at ghostwriting. My client is an older woman who has led a very interesting life. Her family–led by her enthusiastic significant other–have been pushing her to tell her story for years, and she has finally decided that she is ready to do it. This might be me, soon. But even ...

The romance of ink-stained fingers, early morning inspiration, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Let me introduce myself. November 13, 2010. Posted by Brandie Ashe in introduction. Oh, who am I kidding. Middle finger up. Make your hero or heroine an archaeologist. Want to vicariously experience the lives of the rich and famous? Write characters who embody your wildest, wealthiest fantasies. My intent is to use this blog as a way to vent my frustrations, share my triumphs, and just enjoy the writerly journey.

See What I Eat, Eat What I See. You might just as well say that 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see! 039; –Alice in Wonderland. January 1, 2010. I posted this entry over on our classic movie blog. But the recipe is so good, I wanted to re-post here. For Christmas, my friend Erin decided to indulge both the classic film fan and the latent foodie in me, and thus gifted me with Francine Segan’s book. Movie Menus: Recipes for Perfect Meals with Your Favorite Films. 1/4 cup chopped onion.

Observations on love. | Curiouser and Curiouser
https://dailycuriosities.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/observations-on-love
The romance of ink-stained fingers, early morning inspiration, and carpal tunnel syndrome. January 19, 2011. Posted by Brandie Ashe in introspection. How does one write convincingly about love when one is not, in the moment, actually. So why write romance at all, you may ask? I like being an observer in this manner. I think all writers are, first and foremost, observers of human nature–good writers, anyway. When I think about all of the writers whose work I enjoy above all others, they all ...I know exac...

The romance of ink-stained fingers, early morning inspiration, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Ideas out of nowhere. January 27, 2011. Posted by Brandie Ashe in young adult. A fever dream in the midst of a nasty bout with bronchitis last summer led to the idea for the young adult novel I’ve been sporadically working on for the past six months. But whatever the reason, this morning, I was hit in the face with an abundance of inspiration. Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window). No comments yet — ...

The romance of ink-stained fingers, early morning inspiration, and carpal tunnel syndrome. I write the words that make the whole world read? February 26, 2011. Posted by Brandie Ashe in ghostly doings. Something to talk about. My apologies to Barry Manilow. Today’s lesson: how to recreate dialogue from conversations that A) happened 50 years ago; and B) you weren’t even alive to experience. Oh, and there’s the language barrier to deal with, too. In theory, anyway. I have enough of a background in Spanish...

The romance of ink-stained fingers, early morning inspiration, and carpal tunnel syndrome. We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad. November 14, 2010. Posted by Brandie Ashe in alice and company. If you know me, you know that I am almost unhealthily obsessed with. I identify with Alice in many ways. I wake up some mornings and blearily wonder, “How did I get here? Two and a half years of graduate school showed me that, much as I enjoyed teaching, and as natural a fit I may be to the world of academia, it...
