Fragments of Daylight: July 2012

Thursday, July 19, 2012. How Being A Writer Can Ruin A Good Book. I'm being generous here - with a lot of work, the book I have in mind might attain the adjective "fair". It would possibly make a decent short story. It's a cozy mystery centered around golfing, set in a country club community. I think the mystery itself might be interesting (I'm only half way through the book) and some of the characters are likable. I mentioned in my last post that I had begun reading Fifty Shades of Gray and the writing ...

Fragments of Daylight: June 2012

Thursday, June 28, 2012. You Can't Edit Enough. Lately, I have been selecting posts from my blog to post on fb. I try to chose ones that have themes that can be applied to things other than writing or to life in general. So when I read each blog post as I am considering which ones to choose for fb, I am always surprised to have to edit them - again. I find punctuation, spelling and grammar errors, typos and awkward sentences. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. When Bad Is Good. We always view it in terms of how bad...

Thursday, August 30, 2012. Reviews, Good Or Bad. I recently became fb friends with many authors and several book reviewers. I always enjoy their status updates and what they share about books they are writing, reading or reviewing. Maybe it's just me. I haven't had any reviews of my book and I'm hesitant to ask any of the reviewers (whose reviews I have read and appreciated) or anyone else to review mine. Is having a mediocre review worse than none at all? Thursday, August 23, 2012. The post had to do wi...

Fragments of Daylight: September 2012

Thursday, September 27, 2012. My mom was a high school English teacher and I had correct grammar in both speaking and writing drilled into me since I was able to speak and write. This has been a huge asset to me as an author. I often, but not always, know when grammar sounds/looks/is correct or incorrect, but I don't always know why it is. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Maybe It's Not Poor Spelling. Most of the words I misspell are the same words, common words, known (at least in education) as "commonly mi...

Fragments of Daylight: October 2012
http://daylightindarkness.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Right now I am reading Odd Apocalypse, by Dean Koontz. Love it! I cannot get enough of Odd Thomas. Can't wait for the next one. I have just finished Rick Riordan's (YA) The Serpent's Shadow, last book in the Kane Chronicles. Still need to read the two latest in the Heroes of Olympus series, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena. I am looking forward to reading Wicked Business, second book in the new series by Janet Evanovich and anxiously waiting for the next release in the Sookie ...

Fragments of Daylight: November 2012

Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Why is Kool-Aide by the soda and not on the juice aisle? Why is instant tea with the Kool-aide and not with the coffee and tea - which are on the condiments aisle? And so on.). In most cases, I can lead customers to these things unerringly. I still get a little confused that chili is on the pasta aisle instead of with the beans on the soup aisle. And I get capers -which are with olives and pickles - confused with cloves, which are with spices. So, ridiculously, I am now thinki...
