Ghostwriting the WIP
http://leahclifford.livejournal.com/tag/writing
Mar 29th, 2010 at 12:04 PM. So we're back from the dead on the blog! This was just too good to pass up. Earlier this month I was approached about doing a Pay It Forward interview chain of pre-published authors! The idea was to show that people do make it, and even if the road gets hard, you keep going. What a great way to spread the positive vibes! Can you describe your story for us in haiku form? I hate you a little bit for this. Just a little. Banishes demons to Hell. Labels. They suck. Her blog is here.

Rose's Writing Journey: August 2008
http://roseswritingjourney.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 11, 2008. Long time no see! It's been ages since I updated this blog last! But in this case at least, my silence here equals a great deal of productivity. In the last few weeks, I've upped the word count on the 2nd draft of Hidden Underground from 20,000 to 50,000, which means I'm now half finished. Hurrah! That's a good deal toward my goal of completing this stage before Christmas. Since it's my birthday today (blazing hot day at 120 degrees Fahrenheit! Excerpt #1 from Hidden Underground.

Rose's Writing Journey: February 2008
http://roseswritingjourney.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 24, 2008. Literally laughing out loud. Does it ever bug you how often you see the word literally used all wrong? From stories, to blogs, to new articles, and of course constantly in everyday speech, people love to use the word, ending up with some pretty ridiculous sounding assertions. My brother and I discussed our shared pet peeve about this the other day, which led to a googling challenge to see how many results we got for phrases like "his eyes literally popped out of his head" (eww!

Deb's Writing Room: Make it Right: Case for an Outline
http://debswritingroom.blogspot.com/2014/03/make-it-right-case-for-outline.html
Where people and romance endure. Wednesday, March 5, 2014. Make it Right: Case for an Outline. I did not understand the term Panster the first time I heard it. Once it was defined for me, I realized it was me—a writer who writes from the seat of his/her pants. One of my favorite Pansters is best-selling author of the Outlander. Series, Diana Gabaldon. I did not use an outline for my first novel—(or second or third, but who's counting? 8212;but today was the first day I questioned my Panster methodology.

Deb's Writing Room: I Want, I Will
http://debswritingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-want-i-will.html
Where people and romance endure. Thursday, July 30, 2015. I Want, I Will. My daughter and son-in-law are moving over 700 kms this coming weekend to start new jobs in a city much closer to family and friends. Changing jobs and moving is not particularly unusual, but the speed at which Daughter and SIL implemented change in their life, is. Ever woke up on a Sunday morning to discover the coffee tin empty? Ever pay more than face-value just so you could go? Beg, borrow, or moonlight to come up with the cash?

Deb's Writing Room: Summer Tidings
http://debswritingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-tidings.html
Where people and romance endure. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Summer is my favorite season. The hotter the better. While my dear hubs grumbles and lumbers around like a polar bear meandering the Sahara in search of water and shade, I bask like a lizard in the glow of 90 degrees. I would make a good Tropical transplant. Hubs, not so much. Youngest graduated in June. Sister hosted the fantastic family BBQ held to celebrate said youngest's accomplishment (who am I trying to fool? Also on the agenda:. Have to ru...

Deb's Writing Room: Angel Riding Shotgun
http://debswritingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/angel-riding-shotgun.html
Where people and romance endure. Monday, July 27, 2015. I make frequent trips to the Kootenays. When I lived in the Kootenays, I routinely traveled to the lower mainland. In the twenty-two years I've zipped between the two regions, I've never had car trouble. Until yesterday. I whip into a rest stop just meters away, hop out of the car, and sure enough, the rear tire on passenger side is FLAT. Check my phone. No cell service. Um. Tears threatening, I draw a breath and dart a look at the motor coach. ...

Where people and romance endure. Sunday, September 7, 2014. Where did summer go? One minute I was blogging here, the next it was September and I was- am- in my brother's basement suite. Temporarily. We don't get possession for a couple more weeks, hence my temporary refuge under my brother's roof- and main floor. And it's very nice. All the creature comforts one could hope to have, and more.bro hooked me up with TV! Cliché though it may be, the TV provides a voice, a presence, distraction from the knowle...
