Sunday, September 7, 2014. I tend to avoid lots of layers in my art because I hate covering up pretty papers, or text tissue, or images and words, but I'm starting to see the dimension that can be created and learning to live with the hidden layers beneath the finished piece.

Share the writing life with romantic women's fiction writer Renee Howard Cassese. Sunday, December 21, 2014. Darkness unfolds like a cape over the earth turning the sky a deep blue and draining color from every object outside my window. The dark trees are illumined with holiday lights and inflatable Santas and snowmen decorate the front lawns of neighborhood houses. In my writing room I am gearing up for the coming new year. Though some of these projects are up to 50 pages long, the poetry collection clo...

Share the writing life with romantic women's fiction writer Renee Howard Cassese. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Renee is Writing Short. I like to write short, but not because I am 4'11" tall. Once the steeping process is complete I will go over the draft with a red pen, moving things around, weeding out unnecessary words, smoothing out metaphors and dumping adverbs and extraneous adjectives. I might take out or add whole sentences to make the story more understandable and emotional. For any writer in searc...

http://reneeiswriting.blogspot.com/2014/12/where-do-you-write.html
Share the writing life with romantic women's fiction writer Renee Howard Cassese. Tuesday, December 16, 2014. Where do You Write? Where do you set yourself when you begin to write? Do you have several fave spots or one particular corner that beckons your muse? I have strolled quiet arboretums and grasped a few poems that flitted through the air, inspired by a rippled river, a particular dahlia blossom or the erratic walk of a heron poking in the mud for a midday snack. I must add that the perfect writing...

Share the writing life with romantic women's fiction writer Renee Howard Cassese. Monday, December 8, 2014. A Mixed Bag of Genres. As most of you readers know I write in a variety of genres and never seem to be able to focus on just one. I write poetry, short stories, novels, memoir and essays. I also dabble in art journaling and mixed media. But the combining of genres into one project is something I've only touched on, having once written a memoir in poetry and short fiction. While I intend to at least...

Share the writing life with romantic women's fiction writer Renee Howard Cassese. Saturday, November 8, 2014. When Writing Your Novel Stalls. The past week has seen little movement toward more pages of "Safe Places," despite having enrolled in NaNoWriMo and needing to keep up with my daily word quota. But here is a weekend in which to play catch up. So on a sunny Saturday morning I am back at the computer looking at my chapter outlines and getting into chapter eight of writing my novel. So it's November,...
