To tell a compelling story…. What I’m Reading. 4 out of 5 Beaver Tails to NATURAL BORN CHARMER. What’s on your desk (continued). On babbling idiots and other stereotypes. On: March 16, 2011. While waiting for my mother, who was undergoing oral surgery, I spent forty minutes observing the oral surgeon’s office staff. If you know what I mean. Are we really hard-wired for dumbness or are we just perpetuating the stereotype? I should be publicly flogged and I hang my head in shame. The lead character in my c...

To tell a compelling story…. What I’m Reading. On babbling idiots and other stereotypes. Write for two hours and call me in the morning. What’s on your desk (continued). On: March 8, 2011. My Google Reader contained a cool link on Monday afternoon. Sean Ferrell. A brilliant author and Twitter pal, posted an essay. An author I greatly admire and whose books I thoroughly enjoy, because he replied to a comment I’d posted with Patty-that’s genius! They’d been talking about ME. Unlike Sean, I do write fiction...

To tell a compelling story…. What I’m Reading. My memories of reading. 4 out of 5 Beaver Tails to NATURAL BORN CHARMER. On: March 21, 2011. Shopping tells you a lot about a person. Does your hero favor designer labels over knock-offs or simply doesn’t care if his clothes come from Armani or Costco? Does your heroine scour the clearance racks or spend outside her budget on whims? How do they manage long lines and crowded parking lots? Are they rude to store employees? I jotted down all the ideas I had:.

To tell a compelling story…. What I’m Reading. You can’t make this stuff up. My memories of reading. I’m a fool for you. On: April 1, 2011. I have a confession to make I’m a bit of a practical joker. I like pranks, like unleashing my inner devil. Um Yeah. Probably took that one a bit too far. He got me good. A second is all I needed. For anyone interested, hold down the Ctrl Alt keys and press the arrow key. It took four software professionals nearly thirty minutes to set it right. 8230; or six. I want t...

To tell a compelling story…. What I’m Reading. You can’t make this stuff up. On: April 11, 2011. You know those t-shirts you can get online with the cutesy slogans, like “Careful or you’ll end up in my next novel” and “I hear imaginary people” or this one, my personal favorite, “Kicking adverbs and takin’ names”? I was exploring Cafe Press today and found this one: “Oh, this is SO going in my next novel” and BOOM! Certain moments to further a plot or play 20 Rhetorical Questions? A Tattoo on a Throat.

End bullying | To tell a compelling story...
https://patriciablount.wordpress.com/end-bullying
To tell a compelling story…. What I’m Reading. My novel, SEND, is a story about a former bully who hopes to escape his past by changing schools and his name only to fall in love with a girl he does not yet know is his victim’s sister… but she does. But I choose to believe most of the horrible stories hitting the news lately are not about ‘bad kids’, ‘mean kids,’ or even ‘cruel kids.’ Rather, I think they’re all clueless. The child you save could be your own. Dignity for All Students Act. I wrote my first...

To tell a compelling story…. What I’m Reading. I’m a fool for you. My memories of reading. On: March 25, 2011. A tweet earlier this week about spending summer days reading, then pretending to be a favorite character zapped me back to my childhood when I used to play Nancy Drew. Nancy Drew’s Secret of the Old Clock. She had to help me with some of the vocabulary but from that first one, I was hooked. From Nancy, I moved on to Trixie Belden, The Hardy Boys, and even tried some non-fiction books like. I kno...
